plaintxt: another theme for wordpress
PlaintxtBlog is perhaps the original minimalist theme for WordPress. Its light sidebars and uncluttered layout make it ideal for customizing.
PlaintxtBlog v3.0 is fully compatible with WordPress 2.0.x and 2.1.
The plaintxtBlog theme features:
- a theme options menu, which allows
- control over fonts and text size
- control over the layout and alignment
- standards compliance with
- option for enabling comments on pages
- a robust stylesheet and separate print stylesheet
- highly semantic markup
- Widgets plugin ready
Please note if a newer version of the plaintxtBlog theme becomes available, a notice will appear in the Presentation › plaintxtBlog Options submenu. This check is done automatically when the plaintxtBlog Options submenu is loaded.
