WordPress Theme – Gridblog
For the past few weeks, I have been experimenting with different grid-based CSS frameworks available on the Internet. YAML and Blueprint are two of the CSS frameworks that I might be using for my future theme development work. These nifty frameworks can be used for rapid development of clean CSS/XHTML layouts. I am not sure if any theme designers are already using these, but I like them a lot because they can save you a lot of time.
Based on the Blueprint framework, I am releasing a minimalistic WordPress theme called the “Gridblog“. This is a fast loading theme (only 36Kb in size) that has very little design elements but compensates with its functionality. It lets you display your front page blog entries uniquely by dividing them into two columns. The theme has different layout for pages, single entries and the archives section. Gridblog is fully CSS & XHTML compliant and has been tested with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Please leave comments and let me know if you like it!
Yup, just noticed, not title either… Here’s how to fix that for all those who are looking to fix it…
Open header.php, and find
and replace by something like this:
@Lildisnie : No, it cannot move the sidebars to the top because the sidebars are in the bottomcontent.php. You must have done some changes yourself before. So, I suggest you install the vanilla gridblog before doing any changes.
What that does is moves the sidebars to the top along with the bottom content.
I want the posts which is hanlded by page.php to be first and then the topcontent.php and then the bottom content.php.
???
@Lildisnie : Open the index.php file from the gridblog theme folder. Cut this
< ?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/topcontent.php"); ?>and paste above this :-
< ?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/bottomcontent.php"); ?>This should do what you ask for.
I really like it . .
Have a dbt about how I can make the topcontent.php as the content above the sibebars.
As in the posts should be on the top and the topcontent should be in the middle..
help!!!
Ahh.. no code allowed in my comment… well… in Sidebar1.php, there is an if statement which says
dynamic_sidebar(2)
Make it,
dynamic_sidebar(1)
Thats all… once again, great theme… i am busy modding it
Nice Theme. I am using it at one of my blogs. I found a small bug though. If you add Widgets to Sidebar1, it doesn’t work. The problem is in Sidebar1.php
Change the following line:

Cheers.
@365hope.com : Its not about the design. Its about dividing the blog posts in two columns and also to demonstrate the power of CSS Grid frameworks. They are lovely
