Strathmore – A Minimalistic WordPress Theme

Strathmore is a WordPress theme (your viewing it right now!) based on the Blueprint CSS Framework. I have tried to keep the design simple and minimalistic and have made hardly any changes to Blueprint’s default CSS.

Features

Blueprint CSS Framework features:

  • 100% valid XHTML/CSS
  • Cross-browser supported grid and typography
  • Small in size

WordPress features:

  • Easy to install and modify
  • Widget ready
  • Version 2.8+ compatible

Installation

  1. Download the featured release from Google Code
  2. Extract the ZIP file
  3. Upload the strathmore folder into your wp-contents/ directory
  4. Activate the theme from the WordPress administration area

Final Notes

  • The About and Support widgets located in the sidebar (on the right) are hard coded into the sidebar.php so you will need to edit this manually to make any changes.
  • To change the logo you will need to edit the logo.gif file located under the /strathmore/images/ directory.
  • Make all CSS changes in the styles.css file.
