Just finished writing a minimalistic wordpress theme. The focus was to hide all the unwanted noise (categories, tags, rss buttons, ads etc) from the view and make the text highly readable.

- lsb 17y agoRyan Tomayko's theme is even more sparing; his name is the only hyperlink above the comments. See http://tomayko.com/writings/rack-cache-announce http://tomayko.com/writings/rack-cache-announce
- niyazpk 17y agoMy initial idea was to do something similar - do away with everything other than the article title + text and push everything else to the footer, but then I thought that it would be a radical design decision (as far a blog is concerned). Will try to clean up a bit more.
- andrewcooke 17y agonice. i don't know if this is any help, but something i played with recently is making parts of a page invisible until you mouse over them. obviously it only makes sense with certain use cases, but you might find it helps reduce things further. (my example - http://www.acooke.org/ http://www.acooke.org/ - where the links bottom left are intended only for my own use, as "bookmarks"; also i don't claim to be a designer - i'm a programmer - so please don't be offended by my relatively unsubtle design compared to yours...)
- niyazpk 17y agoGood idea. It makes sense in many cases. I will try that too. BTW I am not a designer myself. I am a programmer.
- ThinkWriteMute 17y agoCheck out some of the new CSS3 properties like Opacity!
- NathanKP 17y agoI like it overall, though it does seem a little bit too bright. Perhaps the text needs to be darkened a bit so that there is more contrast.
