LEFT5 version 1.5 (fixed-width) now available (WordPress theme) - October 9th, 2010

It’s been a little over 3 months since I released version 1.2 of my LEFT5 WordPress theme for anyone who wanted it, but it’s come a long way since then. Version 1.5 is, in every essential way, the same great theme that the initial release was — now it’s just sexier.

The main reasons you may want this theme are few and simple; it’s netbook-friendly, it’s clean, it’s light, it’s HTML5, and it’s completely devoid of widgets. It’s also the exact same theme this blog is using, so if you like the way this place looks, then you like LEFT5.

Changes since version 1.2 include:

  • Newly sexified comment forms. Seriously, they’re hot.
  • Many bug fixes, cleaner markup.
  • A better screen presence, with all reader focus drawn to the articles.
  • New dot-grid background makes it more hipster than ever.

So, if you feel like widgets and Web 2.0 have junked your WordPress blog into a MySpace analog, feel free to give LEFT5 a try. The theme can be grabbed here.

LEFT5 is tested compatible with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. If you use Internet Explorer, then you shouldn’t even be here. If you use Opera, please forgive my utter hatred for your choice of browser, but accept my apologies if the theme breaks in it.
