The Burnin’ R theme for WordPress

Want a theme for your WordPress blog that is beautiful, customizable, standards-compliant, business-friendly and light on your (and your readers’) bandwidth? This is my latest creation. It’s a fully original piece of artwork. And the latest version not only supports Widgets, but supplies a few great widgets of its own (availability conditional to activation of certain plugins).

And, now, Burnin’ R features two different styles for you to choose from via your WordPress administration screen!

Here’s the lowdown on Burnin’ R:

  • fully laid out using semantic HTML and CSS stylesheets — no tables used
  • PDA and small screen friendly — you don’t need to generate alternate pages for Palm or Pocket PC browsers
  • Two different styles you can choose from — plus your reader can switch styles using a standards- compatible Web browser
  • business-friendly: ready for Google AdSense and others, with strategic positions in your blog that can be enhanced with banner ad code through the WordPress administrative interface — no need to edit files at all
  • Widgets-compatible: you can drag-and-drop items in your sidebar (through the administration panel) to reorder them, and you can add extra items. Plus, the most popular WordPress plugins have been Widgetized so you don’t have to edit files at all.
  • semi-fluid three-column layout (content plus two-column sidebar)
  • heavily tuned and optimized for search engine relevancy: page titles are always relevant (the front page even shows your blog’s tagline), post content goes first in the HTML source, and semantic markup is used everywhere
  • validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional
  • its visual style is completely driven by stylesheets — the theme’s layout can be altered substantially by changing a few lines in the main stylesheet, and users can choose (at least in Firefox) to use the default stylesheet or none at all
  • every page carries an explanation (even error pages)
  • font sizes are not fixed — even on Internet Explorer, your readers can resize the fonts to help them read better
  • it makes use of elegant semitransparent PNGs
  • includes shortcut icon and custom pages for directory indexes, Apache error pages, and a complete archive page (these pages automatically integrate themselves when the permalink structure is updated, and show the right hyperlinks, whether URL rewriting is active or not)
  • several WordPress plugins have been conditionally integrated — if a plugin is available and enabled, its features will appear automatically, no editing needed
  • enhanced with JavaScript events (and still, it does not require JavaScript from your readers)
  • well-organized stylesheets for you to peruse and edit
  • compatible with WordPress 2.0.4 and later versions
  • plugins supported out-of-the-box: (not included with the theme)
