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!


What kind of license do you have on this theme? I’d love to use it on MyBabyOurBaby.com as another baby theme, if that would be okay?
Hello Ray! The theme is free to use and distribute as long as you keep the link back to our site in the footer. Please encourage anyone to use it and make it available for download on your site.
Hi-I like this Spoke. Just wondering if it’s compatible with Wordpress 2.7 and if ads can be added. Thanks
I love this theme, thanks for making it free. This should be listed in the wordpress themes directory.
It’s compatible with Wordpress 2.8?
Pretty nice theme, if I could make a suggestion though. Could you make the sidebar be added to the left as well? It is a really nice feature to have.
