Muted Colors – A Free WordPress Theme
March 18, 2009 by Blogboy
For those of you who stop by regularly you might have noticed the change over the last week to the Muted Colors theme. I am almost ready to go for full release and offer it up to Wordpress for consideration but I wanted to point out that beta version I am using here is available for download along with most of the plugins I have integrated into this version. I welcome you to download this beta and let me know what you think.

Features
- Heavy Plugin Integration (all optional)
- 13 widgets areas (9 sidebar, 3 footer, 1 on the archive template)
- Color coded twitter icon for header. Simply change the twitter link to your own.
- Integrated tags to meta keywords
- Secondary side wide meta keywords when you download the beta you will want to change them in the header.php
- Full width blog description in H1 tags at the top of the page. How you describe your blog is far more important than what you call it.

- Threaded comments to comply with Wordpress 2.7.1
- A function call to separate Joost de Valk’s tweetbacks.
If you notice errors or other plugins you ant integrated please let me know

Hi Brad,
Love this! How do I download it?
Thanks,
Kathy
Glad you like. The link is easy miss it is right above the social sites Muted Colors (762.1 KiB, 19 hits) I guess I need a to make a custom css class to offset my downloads if i keep using the theme. I should have a final release within a day or two.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks for great theme !
beautiful colors

m not able to find any Demo link or Demo pic out here … it would be better for visitors to have a look on its preview before downloading it

You are in the demo site. I liked the them enough to change. The download link is above though I still haven’t gone active and stripped out the plugins.
Hello
Is there a way to preview this theme without downloading and installing it?

Hi Brad

Thanks

Thanks for sharing. It’s always nice to come across new free WordPress themes.
Brad, the dynamic headers in titles option is unique and makes this theme so special. I am planning to launch a website for a social cause and I think muted colors will be perfect for me. I will let you know more details. thanks for your incredible efforts.
I like the theme a lot. It’s got a real classic look to it. I found the text in the archive widget just slightly hard to read. Nothing that a quick css edit won’t fix though, thanks for the theme!
