Update July 7, 2008:
To make the sidebar on the right side, open the style.css from the Theme Editor, find this code and change it to:

great theme, so easy and minimal, i really like it.
is it possible to offer this theme with widgets and maybe the sidebar on the right side?
what i miss would be a “archives-page” but if someone knows how to make a unique, its not a problem.
thank you for sharing this theme, i start testing immediatly
greetings

Very nice, but how do you order the page links across the top?

Good question, Denise. I had the same problem before. But I can solve this by using this code to sort the list of pages by post-date:
php wp_list_pages('sort_column=post_date&depth=1&title_li=');Of course I have to edit the post-date of the pages too.

Which file and where should I place it?

Denise, go to your dashboard, open Design–Themes Editor–header.php.
Find this code:
php wp_list_pages('sort_column=post_date&depth=1&title_li=');You don’t have to correct anything if the code is look exactly like that.
What you have to do next is you have to edit the post-date of your pages.

This theme is really simple and nice too, but it has some minor bugs that I have decided to fix.
Good job Effi.
Cheers!.

Hi there, really nice theme. Is it just me, or is there an issue with page naming when you’re not using the default naming scheme in WP? I actually want pages named “website.com/contact,” but I get 404 errors if I try to use the “month/day” naming option, for example. To avoid the 404 errors, my contact page, for example is now “website.com/?page_id=7,” which I definitely do not want. Any fix?
