Today we have a very nice free WordPress theme, designed by Ben Swift and coded into WordPress by myself. It’s a basic theme (hence the name), nothing too fancy and very clean-coded. Check out the live demo here. You can download this theme here. Screenshot is below.

Basic WordPress Theme

If you like this one…be sure to check back often because we should have some more of Ben’s templates coded into WordPress here in the near future.

Nice theme. Thanks, I am happy to put it to use. Can anyone tell me how to turn off auto caps in the titles? Thanks!

@David: Look in the style.css file and remove the following:
text-transform: capitalize;

Very nice theme which I’ve modified for my needs. You can see the result of that modification on my website.

Whoa, your style.css file must have become corrupted while you were uploading it. Please copy and paste the contents from the original stylesheet and paste it over the one you have now.
