I just finished up a theme I have been working on a for a little while. It’s a 2-column theme called Clean Slate and yes you’ve guessed it - it’s a simple, straighforward design. You can see it in action on my test blog or you can use the Theme Switcher on here to switch to the theme. It has 1 main column where the posts get written and a sidebar to the right for search, last posts, archives, advertising and so on.

Installation

First, this theme requires 1.5+ Once you have downloaded the theme, unzip it and:

  1. Upload the unzipped theme to your wp-content/themes/ directory.
  2. Enter your Admin panel -> Presentation and select the theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

None so far! It is a simple unzip, install and off you go. You can edit the theme as you wish (it IS commented a little bit). If you have any questions, you can comment here, or you can go over to the WordPress Forums or the WP Theme: Clean Slate thread I started for this theme.
