Update 7/20/2008: I now maintain this theme at Google Code.  Go there for the latest updates to this theme.  Ben Swift and Themelab haven’t complained about this yet, but hopefully they are OK with it.

The Basic Wordpress theme by Theme-labs and Ben Swift is great, but I found a few problems with it.

Stuff I changed:

  1. The footer doesn’t load your Wordpress tagline
  2. All the post titles are capitalized
  3. Some lists in the sidebar are blocks and so have line breaks before and after. That doesn’t work well for the categories sidebar widget
  4. In the header, the tagline font size was too large
  5. Bunch-o other stuff to make it my own

Enjoy!

    Hi, I don’t see the wide version. When I download the zip, its only the basic version at 700 px. Where can I find the 960 px version?
