Andrea Mignolo - Front-end Designer and Developer

Oulipo was originally designed for my blog over at Protocol 7. After a recent redesign I thought I’d tweak Oulipo for a public release and get it set-up with all the goodies offered in WordPress 2.7. It doesn’t do anything fancy, but its simplicity and minimalism does a great job of showcasing content without getting in the way.

Features

1. A widget-enabled sidebar
2. Front page styling for sticky posts
3. Threaded comments for WordPress 2.7+

Custom Archives

Custom archives as seen in the original theme have been removed because they require some fiddling and don’t work out of the box. Additionally, the custom template relies on a slightly modified version of Justin Blanton’s Smart Archives. If you’d like to use the custom archive for Oulipo, the template and modified plug-in can be downloaded here. Instructions on installing and configuring the plug-in can be found on Justin’s Smart Archives page. Please note, I’m providing these files as-is and do not plan on providing support for these additions.
