Nice theme buddy! I have released this XML file to import loads of fake posts/tags/categories/comments into WordPress for testing purposes, might come in handy for anyone, check it out here…

@Leon P -

Thanks for the info. I try to stick more on the structure when building so that if others do use it they can make the theme their own with simple modifications.

Love the simplicity of your theme.

Thanks for the advice.

Looks good. People like simpler, plainer themes as they’re easier to adapt and customise. I think I got my theme on Smashing Magazine simply because it’s *so* simple and unadorned, and the navigation’s quite original.

I suggest you think about structure, readability and usability more than any CSS or graphical flourishes.

And I’d definitely release it for free. I think people will only pay for a theme download if it contains lots of CMS extras. There are lots of free, decent themes out there, so there’s little reason to pay for anything!

Good luck,

Leon
