A free WordPress theme

jayeff · 2006-11-18, 08:52 AM

It is somewhat embarassing when you write a tutorial which reminds you how frequently you break the "rules" yourself. That happened to me earlier this week when I wrote a short article about site usability, so I decided to design a new WordPress theme which breaks fewer of those rules.

It is a 3-column fluid design (ie it adapts to the visitor's screen resolution). Changing the header image requires nothing more than over-writing the current jpg file with another. Further styling changes should be easy enough for anyone with a modest knowledge of CSS.

"Olives" is coded in validated XHTML strict and it's FREE!

Looks great!

Nice work

I'm impressed too, but I'm even more impressed with the 'how to build your own theme' tutorial that you have on your site. It's the best I've seen (and I've seen a lot)

Really impressive theme creation guide and a really cool theme. Very well done ! The colors remind me a bit on one of my favourites so far, Almost Spring.

That's a nice theme, although the color thing is coincidence. Those in "olives" come from the olive oil and a tomato in the header jpg
