This and last week has been pretty busy working on a pro theme for GraphPaperPress. More on that later.

I had some free time today getting this simple theme completed. I was working on it last week but hadn’t had time to wrap up last bits and pieces including testing on IE. So, today, I completed all the initial testing and finalized couple of styles and thought I will give it a go.

Poetry theme is now ready for giveaway. I want to post here a pre-release version so if in any case, there are bugs, I can fix it in a couple of days before giving it a final shape. As mentioned earlier, Poetry is a simple, clean theme that is dedicated to all the Poets out there. Yes, all. You don’t have to be THE Great.

I am not sure if there already exists similar theme but I have only seen blogs / corporate / photoblog style themes. This theme has been inspired by my love to old books and typography. And from what I saw, it looks great on mac Safari and Firefox, and PC IE8. The other browsers don’t render the fonts and aren’t smooth. It might be better on Vista / Win7.

Preview

You can view the screenshot in this post for now as I will be setting up the demo for it a bit later.

Download

You can get the Poetry theme here right now. Please do post any comments / bugs you might have regarding this theme.

Cool Feature

Ah, BTW, one cool feature I forgot to mention is that you can use custom key author in posts to show the author of the poem right below the Title. It defaults to whoever the posting it from wordpress admin (such as admin himself). This way this theme can just look like the old book with all those great poem collection.

Thanks & nJoY!
