The Lonely Universe theme powered both The wings of Wax Project, and IanMRountree.com for more than two years, in various incarnations. It’s become a light-weight, artistic micro-CMS aimed at breaking the standard WordPress form.
This version of the theme was based on the Pretty Spots theme, and borrows some features from a number of other freely available themes from the WordPress Codex. Since the Wings of Wax Project has closed down, and IanMRountree.com is taking a vastly different route as a professional blog, I’m happy to let this one off into the ether – Do what you will with it, and please feel free to leave comments if you manage to fix any of the issues it’s got.
Known issues at the moment include a total failure of the theme options page. Lonely Universe was built to include generated links for Twitter, LinkedIn and facebook profiles on the main page sidebar, as well as a small bio pulled from an About page. the About function was stripped out, and the profiles links designed around, as they were a fairly low priority for debugging.
I’ve also built in a Tumblelog function, which I’ll work on documenting better for subsequent releases.
The theme itself is stable on WordPress 3.0-Beta1, includes seven widgetized areas, and a jQuery-powered dropdown menu for themes and admin for logged-in users, with links based on user role.
Enjoy!
