Today we have a very nice theme, designed by Styleshout and ported into WordPress by me. This theme has 4 widgetized areas, 2 in the sidebar, and 2 in the footer. It also has FlickrRSS support for the image gallery at the bottom. If you don’t have the plugin activated, it will show the default blank thumbnail images (which you can replace manually if you want). In addition, there is also Gravatars for comments and WordPress tag support.

Great job on the port to WordPress! I’ve been looking for something simple for a couple of blogging sites I run and this should do nicely, thanks.

This is nice. But 2 sidebars, kills it. The content area has to be wide i think.

But none the less, nice and clean.

Not everyone pulls off white - you guys have - pretty awesome! I like it, especially the softness of the top navigation.

@Christopher: Thanks, glad you like it.

@Anto: Hmm…trying to figure out a way to just have 2 columns. I’ll let you know.

@Brandon: Yep, it’s a great template. Credits go to Erwin of Styleshout for the design.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Love it, been playing with it all day on my personal blog. I have one problem that I can’t figure out… why are my em and strong tags doing nothing with this laying?

Love the theme! If I can figure that one thing out I may use it forever and ever. :)

@Tim: That might have to do with the reset.css stylesheet. Remove the strong and em tags from it to see if that helps.

Thanks, that works! What does reset.css do, out of curiousity?

@Tim: Basically it resets a number of elements to be consistent across other browsers. This page may better explain it: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
