Photon 2 Wordpress Theme

13 December 2008

Now that the WordPress Theme Directory is up and running again I figured I would release the theme I’ve been using for this site.

As with the original Photon, the theme is designed to be lightweight and legible. The fixed width content column floats centered, and the sidebar hides itself when the page width is too small.

The theme includes support for a custom widget sidebar and the new wordpress caption feature.

I’ve ironed out all the bugs I could identify, but there are likely more. Please let me know if you find any.

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated.
