5ThirtyOne

WordPress Grid Focus was originally a personal project designed and coded for 5thirtyone.com. After much debate as to whether the project should be released to the general public, and after a collection of thoughtful emails from readers & fans, I have decided to share the project with the WordPress community.

WordPress Grid Focus is a three column WordPress theme created and distributed free of any dependance of WordPress plugins. Convenient navigation bars can be found at the top and bottom of pages in order to provide your visitors with ample opportunity to continue exploring. Category archives are presented via a JavaScript shelf which can be found at the top of the page. I reserve the right to request that the original source of the theme - 5thirtyone.com - remain intact.

Although the Grid Focus does not cost a single cent to download and use on your own personal website, the time spent creating the original project was fueled by Haribo Gummi Candy Gold-Bears and Rockstar.
