WordPress Theme: Upstart Blogger Purus

This is the ugly duckling of my WordPress themes, designed to be simple, clean, fast, and easy to read. It has two columns, sized specifically to accept standard ad formats. It’s widget ready, but there are no included plugins to complicate things. It’s a good starting point for modifications. If you’re looking for something more stylish, check out one of my other themes.

Note: This theme has not been updated to work with WordPress 2.3 and is no longer being supported.

    Akuii, check your wp-config.php file. If it isn’t installed properly, you can get this error message.

    Also, make sure that you have the latest version of WordPress installed.
