Introducing the Headless WordPress theme

I’m feeling generous.

The Headless WordPress theme is clean, pixel-perfect, and grid-based. It values content above anything else, so the usual ‘header’ material is placed at the bottom, leaving more content above the fold. It’s also free for you to download and use (in accordance with license details provided in readme.txt).

The default markup is generally retained, with the grid layout achieved through conventional css (not a framework). It has been tested on standards-compliant browsers on WordPress versions 2.5 and 2.6.

This isn’t for everyone - but if your readers value clean, elegant and functional design, then it may be for you.

Download from WordPress Extend.

Hope you enjoy it!

    Nice theme, but it might be helpful to change the PHP in index.php from excerpt to content, and change the description in the sidebar from static text to the Wordpress standard.

    Hi Daniel,

    The reason I opted for excerpt rather than content was because otherwise the home page would look exactly the same as the most recent post. It’s quite easy to change as you’ve noticed.

    Point taken about the sidebar text, will probably change it for the next release, cheers.

    Nice looking blog by the way! ;)

    Thanks! I laboured over it for quite a few minutes ;) I really like your theme. It’s one of my favourites, ever.

    Yeah, that makes sense. The major reason I would have kept “content” over “excerpt” is because with content the user can then change the Wordpress option for content/excerpt themselves in their options instead of having to hard-code the change. Perhaps there is a different and better way to differentiate the pages?

    One more thing I changed was line breaks in comments. I added 18px of space after each paragraph.

    Thanks for the hard work!

    I am trying to change mine to show full posts as well but cannot find anywhere on index.php to change it. Mine alrready says “content”. I would really love to be able to have full posts showing.
    Thanks!

    hi, i just wanted to say thanks for making this available. i have expeirmented / fussed around with a blog format for some time now and this is the format/design i like best. any pointers if i want to have tags (those that change the relative size according to the relative frequency of occurrence) on the sidebar?
