Reboot: Minimalism
If there is any part of this post that doesn’t make sense, it’s because I’ve changed the theme again since I wrote it. . Scratch that. Changed my mind. 
…I needed more color. It’s still pretty minimal
I decided it was time to make a change here, design wise. I wanted to make more of a minimalist type of design, without it looking completely plain. So, the design has a few splashes of color here and there. I was mostly inspired to go this route after navigating through minimalsites.com, which is a gallery of minimalist website designs.
Another thing I wanted to get away from, are the normal link colors such as blue. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I was ready to do something different, so I’ve gone with a purple(#990099) as my primary link color. Also, as you can see, I added a yellow background to the site title, as well as to the links within an a-side post.
One thing that runs the risk of being confusing to some folks, would be the fact that I used the same font properties on several different elements. For instance, the headings in the sidebar are the exact same font as the post meta information. Some of that text being links to comments, etc., some of the text is not. The reason I did this was that I thought it gave the design a more polished look. In my opinion, minimalism shouldn’t be plain and boring, but should have subtleties that add a touch of class. I hope I accomplished that with this.
The Future of the Design
I plan to make this theme publicly available in the near future. It won’t make any big splash in the WordPress community. I won’t promote it. But those who like it and would like to use it, it will be here.
