Thematic

Wrote a post a little while back saying that I’d returned to the default WordPress theme Kubrick. This is no longer the case. (I can’t actually remember when I switched away.)

Now I’m actually using the theme framework known as Thematic. It’s got a nice minimalist default stylesheet, with great support for extensions and customisations through the use of child themes. One day I’m hoping to implement something similar to the format of Dan Gruber’s daringfireball.net, with very short soundbyte-style posts being the most common, each one linked to a web page (i.e. Dan’s “Linked List”), and then less frequent but more involved article-style pieces, when something warrants more comment.

This should be doable once I dig into the code of Thematic a little. From now on I’ll be partially implementing the Linked List, and you’ll see that the title of each post doesn’t link to its own page, but rather to some other web site. (This article links to Thematic’s home page, for example. Just click the title.)
