Launch of WordPress theme: Odds

Core74 is going Wordpress (WP) again with the launch of theme ‘Odds’!! After taking so much from the WP-community the time has come to give something back, hence this free theme. It’s a 3-column design based on a Xoops theme from 6 years ago: Thin Line. Same as ‘Thin Line’ the idea for ‘Odds’ was to keep it as basic as possible.

During the last year we as Core74 have learned to appreciate and got respect for typography and this is what we want to show with ‘Odds’. A theme should not make a website, the content must!! ‘Odds’ places content and text in the center keeping it’s own details in the background. ‘Odds’ is not designed for the large cms’ but as a blogging theme. ‘Odds’ is perfect for the starting bloggers amongst us as you don’t need to worry about unexpected and annoying changes in the layout. The more experienced bloggers can play with typography a bit more. Perfect for anyone!! Did I mention it’s for free? Doesn’t this make it more perfect….!?

Technical references

Let’s not forget the technical stuff which you might be interested in:

• ‘Odds’ is fully CSS and xHTML 1.0 transitional valid,
• Three column design,
• Widget ready,
• In posts and pages, set max image width to 348px when using captions, 370px width when you are not using captions,
• Edit the sidebar.php to adjust the author introduction, or simply remove it.
• Don’t use more then one level of pages.

You can see we made ‘Odds’ as user-friendly as possible. To give you an idea how ‘Odds’ looks like with content we made our own ‘Clint Eastwood’-showcase. Click, watch and enjoy!!

Enough already. Give me the file!

Just one last thing

We are able to produce a lot more themes but not without your help. If you are using this theme on your own website, consider to give us a little (or a big) donation so we have the resources to continue building free themes in the future.
As a reward we can (if you want) remove the ignorant fly that has found his way on the theme.
