Hey all - I decided to get back into making WP themes, and my opening volley is a theme that's pretty much the opposite of most other WP themes out there. No bells, no whistles... just back to basics with content. I modelled it after my own site, but used a Google font (which is actually a font from Adobe, Source Code Pro).
Basically: you can write and style text, you can add a mailing list signup, a site icon and a menu. That's it :)
PS: It's currently in soft launch and the price goes up in Jan.
