If it helps at all, I want to design a theme similar to “Mansion“
There are a couple more themes at the bottom of the WP 2011 Smashing Magazine Gallery
]]>I think a WordPress Lite would be a very good idea, it would simply be a trimmed-down, bare-bones version of the current core keeping all the bloat and eye candy out to concentrate on serious performance.
A WordPress Lite would be an instant success with native Nginx, Xcache and memcached support, full and page fragment caching folded into the core and minimal queries per page.
]]>Overall: Warm colors, comfortable to read.
Header; Title and sub-title only. No icons or pages or anything like that.
Footer: Theme designer with link to designer’s page and link to www.ads-software.com to start off with. Room for page navigation and Akismet count etc. of course.
Sidebar: Left side, containing calendar, search, and the table of contents. nothing else.
Content: Content of course.
Things such as categories, blogroll, archives, ads, blegging, etc. on separate pages. Pages to include sub-pages, sub-sub-pages, sub-sub-sub-pages however deep the subject goes. The TOC on pages with sub-pages expanding to include those sub-pages. So if the blog’s main page included an entry for ‘Bunnies’ in the TOC, then the ‘Bunnies’ would include entries for sub-pages in the ‘Bunnies” section of the blog. For example:
Main Page
3. Bunnies
Bunnies Page
1. Deadly Teeth
2. Noxious Cuteness
Noxious Cuteness Page
1. Deadly Teeth
2. Noxious Cuteness
-1. Affect on Morally Upstanding Demons
-2. and Persistent Itching
I’m basically looking to simplify my blog and get a cleaner look. Non-exclusive of course, because I don’t have the money for exclusive work. Voluntary because I don’t have the money for contract work. Now, if you happen to know of a theme that just needs a few changes to do what I’m looking for, let me know and provide instructions for revising the CSS for this pared down version.
If nothing else, I hope this request leads to a new kind of WordPress blog theme.
