DePo Skinny is a theme originally created for WordPress by Derek Powazek. To use Derek’s own words, “The DePo Skinny theme for WordPress is a variation on my original DePo Clean.[...] It’s a super-simple theme with only one 500-pixel-wide column. It accommodates categories and tags easily.”
While working on my DePo Clean I noticed that Derek had added some news to the release post about DePo Skinny. After taking a quick look at it, I figured it would make a nice addition as well, so I got set to porting it over to ExpressionEngine.
My biggest issue with this theme is how narrow it is. Don’t get me wrong… I love simplicity. I just feel like it could do with some extra width to accommodate a fourth column in the footer area for links, or pages. Of course, that is easily fixed if you’re feeling ambitious, or you could always change the “about” column to fit links to pages. As always, the theme contains all the templates you need for your website as well as search templates and a 404 error page. Head on over to the download page, grab yourself a copy and go crazy with it! Oh, and while your there be sure to pay attention to the install instructions. There are a couple of things you need to do in order for this theme to work properly! Enjoy!

This post contains a demo of how the different styling elements of all the themes. It contains the elements you will find yourself commonly using while posting to your site. Knowing how something looks before you “buy” (don’t worry… this is a free template) it generally helps… right?
Let’s start off with an ordered list right on the index and move the rest to the comments template:
Ordered List:
- Item One
- Item Two
- Item Three
- Item Four is a long one to demonstrate how the list items wrap. Ok, so this might not wrap because of the width of the post area, but it *should* wrap around nicely.
- Item Five
- Item Six

This is just a test post with some dummy content to make sure the posts are lining up side-by-side as they do in the original. Using a count conditional rather than php made it so much easier and I have to give a big thanks to Lisa for pointing that out to me (as well as stressing the need for the weblog= stuff… One day I’ll remember it. Maybe...). So, with that said, poke around, comment and please point out any bugs you might find. I’m aware that there are some big ones right now, but that’s only because I haven’t had the time to really twiddle around and get everything working properly. That’ll happen tonight after dinner. Oh, and the Lorem Ipsum alternate text is created by the Text Generator at malevole.
Ulysses, Ulysses - Soaring through all the galaxies. In search of Earth, flying in to the night. Ulysses, Ulysses - Fighting evil and tyranny, with all his power, and with all of his might. Ulysses - no-one else can do the things you do. Ulysses - like a bolt of thunder from the blue. Ulysses - always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all.
