Spoke v1.0: Free WordPress Theme from Bonsai Studios
Jun 26
2008
Today we are proud to announce that we have developed our first full-featured WordPress theme that we are offering free to the public for download. Our theme “Spoke” is designed with zero images and a simple, type-based layout that puts the focus on the content of the blog, not some over-designed, swirly, shiny, trend-a-licious header.
Spoke’s color scheme is completely editable, by you, from the WordPress admin panel. The theme uses a three color set: a main color, a secondary color, and a highlight color. Set the colors to match your personality, show your uniqueness, or your school/team/organization pride. If you are feeling especially uninspired, Spoke allows you to choose from a changing set of color schemes from kuler.adobe.com.
Spoke’s feature set:
- Lightweight and fast loading: Zero Images!
- Fully widgetized sidebar
- Completely editable colors
- RSS 2.0 feed support
Tested compatible browsers:
- All versions of Mozilla Firefox
- All versions of Safari
- Internet Explorer 7
- Internet Explorer 6 (some things are a bit different but everything is still functional)
These are just the browsers we have had a chance to test the theme on, if you are using a different browser please let us know how the theme performs, good or bad! Check out the screen shots and live preview!
Our goal with our free WordPress themes is to please you, so if you have any comments or critique please let us know!
Firefox 3 Released Today

While I might sound slighty partisan in saying that Firefox 3 is one of the best browsers available on every operating system, I do feel that if you haven’t tried Firefox yet, now is the time to do so. The release of Firefox 3 marks a huge improvment over the aging Firefox 2 in both back and front end of the browser.
Either way, it would be awfully nice of you to go try Firefox 3 out today and help Mozilla reach a world record of downloads in the first 24 hours of release.
If you’re looking for the top improvement and just other information about the browser you should check out a helpful round up presented by Life Hacker.
