A Free And Soothing WordPress Theme

The Soothing WordPress Theme

Spent the last few days creating and testing a new WordPress Theme. Named it The Soothing Theme because I made the theme to be very soothing to the eyes and the longer you look at it the better you will like it. It has a calming effect.

The Theme comes with big fonts for the post title to make it more striking and attention grabbing without the use of excessive colors like bright red or orange. Fonts used site wide is the very popular Lucida Grande, It is a very clean sans serif font and makes reading real pleasing to your readers.

A special feature which I have included is the front page only shows post excerpts by default. It is not an exclusive feature as most magazine themes have this, but I have made it a little bit special for this theme. Instead of the normal post excerpts where all your formattings like links and pictures are stripped off, this Theme keeps all your html formats and pictures intact. The picture shown will be the first picture in your post and it is not cropped, it display in it’s original form, the way you have posted it.

Other than that, this theme supports all the main features of WordPress 2.8.

A list of features in The Soothing Theme:

Fast Loading
Clean Looks
Great Typography
Threaded Comments
Paginated Post page
Sticky Post
Home Page Excerpts with all html formats and pictures intact
Lightweight and SEO friendly

A live working demo can be seen in my personal news and trends blog which I created recently to test out new themes.

The present theme that you see here at WordPress Theme Customization Tips is a heavily modified version of the same theme

“…the longer you look at tit the better you will like it…”

I will have to agree with you, I am a tit man myself

Just kidding How do you make the sidebar go all the way down to the end of content? I am a really newbie with themes, and I have basically made a few themes for my adsense sites – crappy themes to bring out the obvious (ads). I had to abandon on an idea of mine on one of my sites because I could not make the sidebar go all the way down the footer when the content was longer than the footer. The same thing happened the other way around. I tried to look for tips but they all included using a repeating background image – are you using that for this theme?

  Yup, I believe that’s the only way to seperate the contents and the sidebars all the way.
  
  Corrected my ‘tit’. Thanks!
