Building Blocks – Free

Freebies, Themes, Wordpress11 comments

After writing a dozen plus custom themes and starting from scratch each time, I finally got smart and wrote a base template that lays out all of the basic structures and styles, shavings hours off of every project.

Building Blocks includes:

  • Widget ready sidebar
  • Template file for sidebar-enabled pages
  • Template file for pages with no sidebar
  • Clean coding with comments for easy modification
  • Basic styling for most elements, including forms
  • Custom Comment Template to allow for easy styling

Theme files include:

  • index.php
  • page.php
  • single.php
  • header.php
  • sidebar.php
  • comments.php
  • functions.php
  • footer.php
  • style.css

Change Log:

V 1.1

Added Custom Comment Template and callback to allow for easy styling.

Added page.php, single.php and comments.php template files.

Added CSS for comments.

Hope this helps!

    Hi, I wanted to thank you for providing a base theme so I can learn how to create my own WP sites. It’s a great start for this grandmother webmaster to learn how to do what you do so well.

    By the way, I spent 31 years of my life in central Kansas — it’s a good place to live. Also enjoyed your tutorial on the Category & Taxonomy widget – I’m contemplating investing in that soon.

  6. Glad I could help :) Where in Central KS?

    That “h” is still missing. Is this a test of some sort?

    “H” in “https” is still missing :)

    I guess it wasn’t a test after all. It just took the right person calling attention to it. :D

  10. Ha, it just took me finally doing it :P
