Back in February I started a series of posts based around designing my first, intended for release, wordPress Theme. These posts explored the process I went through and culminated with a semi-complete design. I now have a version of that theme available for download.

Since those posts a number of things have happened to delay the theme. I have amended a few plugins, been ill, been away, and failed to find inspiration. I have also redesigned parts of the theme and found areas where things just didn’t work as intended.

So does that mean the theme is complete? Well not really. There are still things that I am not happy with, but I have decided to offer it up now to save me tinkering with it forever. There are some compatibility problems with IE6 that I intend to solve with Javascript. For now though just be aware that they exist.

You can get more details on the Fun with Minimalism Wordpress Theme page as well as my first ever tutorial videos that explain how some of the features work. There is a fair bit of processing involved in some of the aspects so I am interested to hear your opinions.

I am using the theme on my other blog already. You can check out http://www.arickmann.co.uk for a live demo. Just be aware that the photography category switches to the iThemes Photo Gallery Theme.
