Thanks to the great feedback I received on the previous WordPress theme, I decided to go out and look for another “non standard” WordPress layout. I came across some great templates from Six Shooter Media. One in particular, called Motion, caught my eye - and I decided to port it into WordPress.
This WordPress theme has no comments, no pages, no single posts, no sidebar, no widgets, no Gravatars - nothing but a one column main index template. In fact, the only theme files included are index.php and style.css.
As you can see from the demo, it has some pretty cool Javascript features. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think in the comments section, and if you’d like to see any more of Six Shooter Media’s templates ported into WordPress.

This is a nice design like, but it wasnt ment for a wordpress theme tho.
No such thing as “it wasn’t meant for wordpress”… I think it’s great to see wordpress be used for things outside the box.
Until we see more of this then we won’t be able to see the full range of what WP can do.
I went to their site and found a few templates I liked.
@Anto: You may be right, I just couldn’t resist.
@Andrea: Which templates in particular did you like?
Thanks for the comments!

Very good theme, the theme I see it
I’ve seen a couple of other accordion-based themes, but this one is really nice. Thanks for porting it over to WP.
Is that an accordion script?
Wow, I’m impressive…
Maybe if I wait, there’s an ajax wordpress theme…
It’s great as seen on http://www.wpblogspot.com
That is also nice example for implementing this technique.
We’re all waiting for the release here.
@PJ: Thanks!
@Pangeran: Yes, looks like the script is called Simple Accordions.
Very good idea…
Nice Theme.
My question is u kept the CSS intact in the conversion to WP?
@nuLL: Yes, I didn’t change any CSS code for this theme porting.
It can become great theme if you implement below a category tag cloud navigation and comments and the original contact form it can be used as a nice elegant portfolio.
I like your work gz for making time to port all those themes to wp.
wow!
Hello, Leland…
Good news, I am using your motion theme…
But I don’t know how to make the page appear in the index…
How to make links appear in the accordian page…
The conclusion is how to use this theme…
Ah, I know how to do it already…
I just edit the index.php and add other accordion div…
It works well…
Congratulation to me and thanks to you Leland for porting it into wordpress…
I use it here Pangeran Wiguan’s Home.
@Pangeran: Great, glad you got it working!
This theme is wonderfull.
Tnx for sharing.
hello from Poland
I have a problem. I want that every post will be closed from start. Now first post is open and I don’t like it. Can you tell what shoud I change to be that like I want?
I made a few minor modifications to this theme, now the the movement is only working in safari browser and not internet explorer or fire fox. Any ideas why?
Hi Leland,
Many thanks for porting such an original theme! I particularly like it because basically the entire content is visible in one page of code (good for SEO imo).
I did add a page.php though, main reason for that is that the javascript breaks other javascripts i use, for example NextGenGallery with Lightbox and CForms, also it just felt like a good idea to keep the most important content upfront and link to other content placed on pages outside the “mainframe”.
Anyways, before I start rambling on, thanks a million! Very original work! Of course these kudos also are meant for Jay at SixShooterMedia
Cheers,
Piet
I would like to use this theme but with all posts closed on entry instead of having the first one opened.. Anyone know how to achieve this?
