Laut Sprecher was originally designed for The Dowager Shadow as a presentation theme.
Laut Sprecher places as much focus on the text as possible, treating the tall, colourful header and footer like the covers of a book. I made sure the typography and headers were easy on the eyes, and tried to keep all of the focus on the text.
It’s a fairly minimalist theme, designed both for easy navigation between serialized segments, and for use as a simple blog. I wanted to make sure it stayed true to one purpose; sharing creative writing as broadly as possible.
For ease of use, I included some custom “New post” and “New page” buttons for logged-in users over Contributor level. It’s a small thing, but it can make a difference for fast posting and accessibility.
Future versions may include social networking badges and a better integration of RSS feed choices, as well as some other features if I get any good responses about the theme.
I’m not releasing Laut Sprecher publicly just yet – it’s not ready, and not generic enough at the moment. I’ll be posting both versions of this theme here eventually – at the moment, one is still in use, so it’ll remain by special request only.
