Zen Kitten, the site design that once graced my Put Things Off blog, is now available as a WordPress theme. See the demo site or make my day and buy it now for only $69.
Put your content first
Ever thought that many blogs would be better if they weren’t so… bloggy? Ever felt that web publishers who spend hours creating content only to litter their site designs with crap are missing a trick?
Zen Kitten is a departure from the done-to-death feel that many WordPress themes follow: the cluttered widgets, multiple sidebars, and bunched up text you’ve seen elsewhere have been dumped in the litter tray.
Instead, you’ll find a light, airy design with — shock — simple navigation, minimal distraction, and enough white space to swing a cat.
Bonus features
Zen Kitten features a healthy bunch of theme options, giving you the chance to swap out the plain text header for your own image or logo, as well as tailoring the homepage to list posts from categories you choose.
To make your posts stand out, the theme sets your post titles in a refreshing open source typeface called Titillium Title. In addition, Zen Kitten uses the new WordPress featured image uploader to quickly and easily add thumbnails to your content, which are automatically resized to appear on your homepage, category pages, and below the post titles on your subpages. We think it’s pretty nifty.
