HTML5 Base Wordpress Theme
Published Tuesday 3rd of January 2012
Like so many others I've now also written my own HTML5 starter theme for Wordpress.
It's based on the Bones Wordpress Theme which is based on the HTML5 Boilerplate.
A few things I've changed from Bones:
- Removed all the class names from the markup (
clearfixin particular) - Removed all the CSS but normalize + some mixins (you're meant to style the site yourself)
- "Modularized" the code (each module is contain within its own file rather than all the modules for one page being in one file)
- Went through every line of code in every file and tidied things up
The theme comes with some widget areas and menu spots but you'll most likely wanna change them for your own site. It also supports post thumbnails and attachments (the plugin) support is on its way.
This is actually version 2 of this theme. The first version was based on I think the Kubrick theme from I dunno, before 3.0 anyway, so I felt it was time to brush things up and enable some new features.
I've also studied best practice theme development articles and spent time in the Wordpress "codex" trying to figure out the fucking mess that Wordpress is to make sure this theme is as robust as possible.
It's mainly written for myself but of course anyone is free to use it.
