TA-MONO: Free magazine style WordPress theme

by TutsArena - Freebies, Themes

We here at TutsArena are suckers for minimalistic design. We also like quality Wordpress themes, so it’s only natural that we present a minimalistic, news magazine-style, sober and monochrome Wordpress theme.

We here at TutsArena are suckers for minimalistic design. We also like quality WordPress themes, so it’s only natural that we present a minimalistic, news magazine-style, sober and monochrome WordPress theme.

Of course, it’s completely free to use, like everything we present.

The theme

Here’s the preview, click on the image for a live demo:

Features

• WordPress versions supported: tested with 2.8.4
• Featured posts jQuery carousel
• Easy to use featured posts selection
• 2-column
• Fixed width
• Supports widgets in the sidebar
• Totally free to use under the BSD license

You are highly encouraged to tweak the theme and improve it. If you make something great, drop us a line and we will replace our version with yours. Or, simply provide a link in the comments to this post.

The theme, as it is configured on our demo server, uses a very good plugin, Query Posts by Justin Tadlock in order to provide the list of featured posts, but it’s not required. No other plugins are required either.

Featured posts

To make a post featured, create a category called ‘Featured’ and assign a post to it. That’s it! To provide a background for the carousel of featured posts, upload an image and add a custom field with the name ‘featured’ and the value being the URL to the uploaded image.

License

You are free to use the theme and the source for any purpose, personal or commercial. Yes, you can modify the theme and reuse the template for any purpose.

The only catch is that our link needs to stay in the footer of the theme and our copyright notice needs to be included in the documentation to whatever you make out of this. You also understand that the theme is provided without any warranty and you use it at your own risk.

A complete license file is available if you care for fine print.

Download

Here are the links to the live demo of the theme and the theme download. There is no source PSDs, because none were used to make this theme.

Enjoy!
