Kirby is a nifty Theme for WordPress that began when I started to think—just for fun—about what I would want in a new default WordPress Theme. You can check out the live preview and download it from the WordPress Free Themes Directory.
Check out my Kirby to-do list if you want to see what’s happening and read about what I’m trying to accomplish.
Since, if only at it’s outset, Kirby is a Theme meant to generate discussion I’m releasing it as I develop it. If you think it’s horrible or, perhaps, even awesome, please tell me about it by emailing ian at this domain or in 140 characters @iandstewart. Thanks a bunch.
