Simple Microblog WordPress Theme

When I learned about the Micro.blog project by Manton Reece, I decided that I wanted to host my own microblog, so I made a minimalist microblogging WordPress theme for that purpose.

I put it out on Github for others to use: https://github.com/cagrimmett/simplemicroblog-wp

Particulars

It is fully responsive.

Header image is the gravatar pulled in from the administratorâs email address. To change the header image, change the administratorâs email address and/or change your main image at Gravatar.

There is an option in the post editor to suppress the title for posts on the homepage and single pages

There is no main menu at the top. If you want a menu to get to sub pages, create a menu, then add a custom menu widget to the sidebar widget area.

The footer widget area is enabled. You can add any widget you like to the footer.

Comments are turned off globally

This theme makes it easy to verify your website with Micro.blog. In the WordPress admin, go to Settings > Micro.blog Verification and put in your Micro.blog username.

Fontawesome is included via maxcdn because I like using icons.
