    Just wondering if anyone has had a look at ‘Starkers’ WordPress theme by Elliot Jay Stocks.

    It’s basically a totally naked theme with virtually no styling or unnecessary mark-up. Essentially a blank template for WordPress themers, CSS reset and all. I just used it and found it really easy to edit and style. Compared to editing the Default theme it’s a breeze. Even the PHP side was easier to get my head around.

    If your not familiar with it and into WordPress theming check it out here.

    Any thoughts?

    I think Chris talked about Starkers in his "Designing for WP" series.

    But ya, I’ve used Starkers. Love it.

    I’ve also used the sandbox (http://sndbx.org), which uses alot of complicated php to give posts and pages dynamic classes that describe the post’s date, category, tag, author, etc.

    I like Starkers more tho, its more flexible, clean, and simple under the hood.

    I know this site is a big fan of WordPress (my self included), but I am doing a site in Joomla, and are currently trying to customize a theme to fit my client’s need.
    Two word…. BIG PAIN! :shock:

    I have looked at the Starkers theme by Elliot Jay, and also seen the screencasts by Chris, where he goes over it, and it’s exactly what I need! …just for Joomla!

    Anybody know of a good alternative for Joomla templates? I basically want to strip out ALL styles, and be in total control, like all the wordpress-starkers out there.

    I just started using it recently and it’s awesome. Finally get to set up a theme the way I want. So much easier than stripping down (pun) an already designed theme.

    And you really learn more about WordPress doing it this way as well. 8-)
