This is my first publicly available theme for WordPress called Simplicity. It is a minimalistic 3 column theme done in white, black, and grey with hints of green.

    i love this theme, i can’t seem to get the comments right..
    my sidebar ends up under the content when I use this theme

    Hi Chele,
    You have to be careful when adding long lines of non-breaking text because it will effect the layout in IE.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Teli and thanks pour this nice theme.

    I’d like to enlarge the side columns but don’t dont wich other element’s widths this operation will affect.
    Today my blog looks nice on firefox or safari but not on ie and I don’t feel very easy and I’d like to have hints on how to fix this.

    Thanks a lot (and forgive my english…)

    Hi there,
    I’m wondering if it ispossible to include an image where the twirly stuff and the text above it is? If so, how?

    With thanks.

  7. Teli Says:

    Hi Bertrand,
    I do apologize for not answering this sooner, but the side column widths are fixed due to the background image that is used. If you wish to increase the column widths, you would need to alter the width of the columns in the background images and then in the style.css file.

    Hi Matt,
    You can add an image where the text and twirly stuff is by adding the image to the header-bg.jpg file. But it’s important that you don’t create an image that overlaps the box the tag line goes in. Hope that makes sense :)

    Nice and simple design. I’ll give it a go :)

    Is it widgets-ready?

  9. Teli Says:

    Hi Tapani,
    Sorry for not getting back to your comment sooner – almost passed it in a see of spam LOL.

    The theme isn’t widgets ready, yet. I do plan to update all of my themes in the next month of so and will post a notice to the entry when I do :)

    Any update on when the theme might be widgets-ready?

    I’ve made some minor modifications and was interested to see your advice about the column widths. I’ll keep it in mind when I next do some tweaking.
