Blank WordPress Theme Frameworks

DesignMag has a good post up with some links to CSS layouts and Blank WordPress Themes but remember: if you’re starting with a Child Theme any WordPress theme becomes a blank framework.

  1. Hi there–I’m researching Thematic and would really like some clarification on child themes. You say several places to use a child theme but I couldn’t find a list–is junction the only one? I’m very interested in your comment that “if you’re starting with a Child Theme any WordPress theme becomes a blank framework”. But *how*? Could you explain a bit? Maybe a step-by-step explanation? Do you install Thematic, then the child theme, then how does “any WordPress theme” come into play?

    Thanks!

  2. I have an html website for our Rotary club. I want each committee chair to be able to manage the content for the webpage related to their committee. I have inserted “iframes” into the html pages. Now I want to use Word Press as a content management system to enable committee chairs to publish their information into the “iframes” on their pages.

    Problem: I can not find a completely blank WordPress “theme” – no headers, no sidebars, no footers, etc.

    Help?

  3. The closest you can get, without having to reinvent the wheel would be to try something like http://www.themedreamer.com/bft

    That gives you a set of 6 themes to jump start custom development. With no sidebars, one, two or three column layouts.

  4. I’m hoping to get started making themes. I did hear of a good framework that lets you dynamically add in sidebars, but I can’t remember what it’s called at the moment. 😦 Following you on twitter now. Hopefully, I can make some sense of how to create my own wordpress theme out of my PSD’s.
