New Theme: 2813
We’ve got a new theme for you, it’s a three-column very clean and minimalistic theme with full widget support. The two sidebars are on the right side and they’re pretty plain by default but once you get the widget action going it looks pretty sweet. This theme was developed jointly by Eli Foner, Paul Stamatiou, and Neil Patel.
Here’s a preview:

December 7th, 2006 at 7:11 pm

December 7th, 2006 at 7:13 pm
Sweet
December 7th, 2006 at 7:18 pm
looks great ! am going to try it out now
December 7th, 2006 at 7:18 pm
Very nice, I love it, I may consider switching now =) Thank you!
December 7th, 2006 at 7:19 pm
I’m looking under the Presentation tab on one of my blogs and I’m not seeing it listed?
December 7th, 2006 at 7:25 pm
This theme is really nice.
December 7th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
Great theme!!! I like this theme much more than your previous one “Fadtastic”, which I’ve just made my current theme.
Now, I’m going to update my blog. It was a bit difficult to find it among Available Themes, since I was looking for theme “2813″, not “Twenty-eight Thirteen”.
Or should I wait for a bit? I wonder if the next one will be much better?
December 7th, 2006 at 7:36 pm
Hi all,
Does the new theme have a customizable header?
December 7th, 2006 at 7:37 pm
Nice, but does it have custom header support? I’d really love a three-column theme with custom headers. Please?
December 7th, 2006 at 7:41 pm
I like three columns. Thanks for the new themes
So much choice!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:05 pm
Does anyone yet have this theme activiated yet?
December 7th, 2006 at 8:05 pm
Nice Theme
December 7th, 2006 at 8:12 pm
Cool theme – I love the minimalist stuff
December 7th, 2006 at 8:13 pm
Mmm.. weird and poor theme, but hey.. i bet it will have it’s fans.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:14 pm
Finally! a clean 3 column! Yay!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:15 pm
hmm… clean. hoping for no bugs in this one!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:21 pm
Looks like it will be good for people that make good use of their widgets.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
Why always do the 3 columns with both on the same side? Just curious…Thx for the effort anyway!
AXE
December 7th, 2006 at 8:36 pm
That is a great looking 3-column. However, I sure wish you guys would try one with sidebars on the left and right instead of both on the right. That and a customizable graphic Banner and you would have my dream theme.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:37 pm
That’s a really nice look.
I spent a lot of time today umming and ahhhing over whether to convert to a 3 pane look. In the end I decided to keep my blog in the standard 2 pane mode because I think it appears even ‘cleaner’ and gives more real estate to the main posts … but thanks for increasing the choice, I’m sure a lot of people will jump on it!
: )
December 7th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
Great job!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:42 pm
I’m loving the additional of three column themes. Would there be a way for this theme or one like it to include a cutom header option? Just wondering…
It looks great!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:48 pm
its great, i might try it out…thanks.
December 7th, 2006 at 9:02 pm
Excellent Matt. Lots of themes pouring in!
December 7th, 2006 at 9:02 pm
As usual: it’s up on WP theme
December 7th, 2006 at 9:03 pm
Or at least, it will be on WP theme once it is a selectable theme.
December 7th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
Looks great. May be the next step for my blog!
December 7th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
Quite, quite nice!
December 7th, 2006 at 9:12 pm
I think its good but banner should be colorfull and background.. hmm other, menu is 2 coloums but its near so one menu should be left one menu should be right…
But its good.. Thnx a lot Matt
December 7th, 2006 at 9:13 pm
Hey matt !
Looks very neat and clean .. 3 columns n 3 developers eh
..
i will take my time next morning n chk this out : ) .. good luck
December 7th, 2006 at 9:13 pm
Uhhm… I don’t see it in the theme page…
December 7th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
Ooh, exciting :3
I’ll check it out (;
December 7th, 2006 at 9:23 pm
Sorry, wasn’t looking hard enough :S
December 7th, 2006 at 9:32 pm
Its Great!
December 7th, 2006 at 9:44 pm
interesting…too white for my liking but keep it up. hopefully someone will be willing to try something less ‘modern’ and more chaotic…lol
December 7th, 2006 at 9:48 pm
I like that we are getting more options. THe latest theme’s have been looking pretty good!
December 7th, 2006 at 10:05 pm
Three themes in a row? Excellent!
December 7th, 2006 at 10:15 pm
fantastic!!!
Thanks, i thought i would never find a thing like well-cssed sandbox until i buy an update, but this is funtastic.
So, you lost 15$, guys ;p
December 7th, 2006 at 10:17 pm
nice add! tnx
December 7th, 2006 at 10:23 pm
Isn’t the name 281? http://paulstamatiou.com/2006/11/01/introducing-281-the-lightning-fast-wordpress-theme/
December 7th, 2006 at 10:36 pm
thank you for yet another 3-column theme … I prefer having 2 sidebars and its so nice to now have a couple more options to choose from.

December 7th, 2006 at 10:41 pm
Could you add Drunkey Love and Tarski as well? Would be soooo grand!
December 7th, 2006 at 11:13 pm
Looking good! Following the rule of KISS on this one. (keep it simple silly)
December 7th, 2006 at 11:25 pm
I keep checking the Presentations tab but I still don’t see the new theme listed. Any idea what might be happening?
December 7th, 2006 at 11:39 pm
This is such a rich tool! I am loving being here. Thank you so much for everything.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:06 am
Looks like it could be a good one.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:16 am
Matt, when i try it the two colums are bunched up and makit look rubbish, not like how its shown on the preview. Not sure why this is, I ee no one else has mentioned it. I agree with th comments that it would be great to have othe thre colums but thin fat thin with header we can put the image in. Ta ……. having saingd all that keep the good work going.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:21 am
It is not correnct…
It is
Twenty-eight Thirteen
December 8th, 2006 at 12:25 am
I tried it and the alignment of the sidebars are a little off….It seems as if the words in my post are running into the first sidebar….definitely needs a little bit more formatting or am i doing something wrong…?
December 8th, 2006 at 12:30 am
Nope, it’s 2813, the 3 column version of 281.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:41 am
Cool! For now Pressrow suites me best but I might choose to use this too anytime soon.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:43 am
Great-more themes to choose from! Looking forward to more!!
December 8th, 2006 at 12:52 am
As is said above, I think this theme (while pretty spectacular) could be even more valuable if it offered a few user-managed options such as:
a customizable header
the ability to align the sidebar to the left, or to have the sidebar straddle the blog.
It’s a wonderful theme as it is, but I wouldn’t switch to it unless I had these options.
December 8th, 2006 at 1:15 am
The theme doesn’t start with the number 2, it’s titled “Twenty-eight Thirteen”
December 8th, 2006 at 1:46 am
Nice..i love it
December 8th, 2006 at 1:52 am
I love the new themes you all are coming out with, and I love having more choices. But I would like to see more variety in colors.
December 8th, 2006 at 1:56 am
I might consider switching to this one. I don’t think I have enough content yet.
December 8th, 2006 at 2:04 am
Great, tried new theme and looks good since I have set my widget
Thanks Matt
December 8th, 2006 at 3:43 am
Great! Thanks…

December 8th, 2006 at 3:51 am
Another 3 column theme and another theme altogether. Wow.
Well done, guys.
December 8th, 2006 at 4:12 am
very simple yet cool look…
December 8th, 2006 at 5:32 am
Good to have choices. Thanks. The theme is too white though. Not everyone would like it. Sort of makes the page look untidy. However, it’s another theme with two sidebars and I am happy that now there are several. I am still a fan of the Andreas theme though. Both the Andreas themes are great.
Looking forward to more.
December 8th, 2006 at 7:54 am
i love white themes. this looks good.
December 8th, 2006 at 8:22 am
Its very very simple!! Post in something jazzier
December 8th, 2006 at 8:37 am
I’m looking under the Presentation tab on one of my blogs and I’m not seeing it listed?
December 8th, 2006 at 9:00 am
Let’s try it for a while then …
December 8th, 2006 at 9:32 am
it looks good… but i hope i can see it in my presentations so that i can use it.
anyway, congrats for the new theme.
December 8th, 2006 at 9:57 am
Really nice!
December 8th, 2006 at 10:50 am
Nice, a simple one, maybe too simple form some, but still a good theme
December 8th, 2006 at 11:16 am
now we’re cookin’… would consider a switch… three columns.. great!
would be great if we could change the header? choose header colour or photo?
and even awesome if columns could be either side… but i love the clean, vacant approach…. now have to figure out how to paste in that technorati button… mmmm
December 8th, 2006 at 11:23 am
This is my favorite of the new ones out! Love the minimalist look! Thanks!
December 8th, 2006 at 11:34 am
“Could you add Drunkey Love and Tarski as well? Would be soooo grand!”
lotuseater, Tarski is already there. It’s my favorite theme (this week).

WordPress rules!!..3 columns the best..^_^
December 8th, 2006 at 1:37 pm
I don’t see it is templates section!
December 8th, 2006 at 3:58 pm
Looks nice with a 3 column theme. I’m kind of fond of my 1 column theme atm tho:)
December 8th, 2006 at 11:32 pm
I seem to change themes every few weeks, but this one looks good. I like the simplicity, it’s easy to read, and the 3 column thing seems just fine. I miss my gout monster a little (in the header), but I was getting a little tired of him anyway …
December 9th, 2006 at 1:17 am
I wish to complain that nobody ever cuts me a new 0-column theme, no matter how many times I ask (I’ll start asking again, one of these days). I suppose I have to do that myself, don’t I?
I want to be seriously minimalist, and not just minimal-minimalist. What kind of animal do you want me to become? (please continue if you think of another pun, sound-alike, etc) and I’ll play with the theme as-is, to see if I might somehow twist it ways that “they” did not intend (okay, I mean you who have created and provided the new theme, each time). Otherwise, I’d call it “done” and “perfect” and that kind of thing. Thanks for not implementing all these suggestions ahead of time. Then we couldn’t comment at all, could we?
–g
December 9th, 2006 at 2:28 am
It’s really simple, i like it…
December 9th, 2006 at 3:48 am
This is the kind of theme that I like, white, clean, and simple. thanks..
December 9th, 2006 at 5:30 am
Well, I wasn’t really sure if I was going to use this or not. I hadn’t liked the 3-column themes in the past but I have so much side-bar stuff now that is really looks great. I like now having links highlight when hovering, makes the links stand out more. Unlike other folks here, I could care less about custom header…
December 9th, 2006 at 4:31 pm
looks great, i will try now
December 9th, 2006 at 9:46 pm
My dream theme –
A three-column theme like Andreas 9, and the banner like Tarski.
Please, please, please . . . pretty please!
December 10th, 2006 at 5:46 am
wow i like this new theme… it’s looks really nice n simple… i like it alot!!!
December 10th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
I’m gonna use it right now!
December 10th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
this would even be cooler than pressrow i’m currently using. any chances to choose between a left and right sidebar and instead of 2 right sidebars? i know there’s andreas…
December 11th, 2006 at 3:54 am
Yah, 3 column that give the ability to post pages are great.
December 11th, 2006 at 1:30 pm
Very nice one indeed.
My compliments.
December 11th, 2006 at 4:49 pm
I agree with Gomarus …
Theme with three columns – widget bars on each side and custom header … and more selections with custom headers.
Great stuff … keep it coming.
December 11th, 2006 at 4:56 pm
that looks a good one
December 12th, 2006 at 3:21 pm
i like this one. it got me to change from the grassroots Benevolence theme. although i wish it had a customized header. and i want to move that dang’ed search box elsewhere.
December 13th, 2006 at 2:21 am
Great theme except for the forced search box in the rightmost column (which doesn’t line up with items in the middle column) and the lack of back/next links when viewing individual threads.
December 17th, 2006 at 10:49 am
Hi … i’ve got two questions regarding this theme!
- one is an “enhancement” request … or if it’s possible to have the main content coloumn width to be more (or equal) of 500px
- one is if it’s possible to have the code tweaking you did for having ALL the posts categories in the main coloumn (sinche the 2813 one works on a single “main” category content)
Thanks In Advance!
December 17th, 2006 at 10:51 am
Ops ! I forgot …
it would be also lovely to have gravatars support in the comments!
January 15th, 2007 at 1:56 am
Hi,
I’m not seeing this theme in my list now.
To add on to kfsone’s list, can we have the blog entries display their respective authors?
January 20th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
I just want it back. ; ) I had a logo designed for it, and a hack for a personalized header. I really like the whitespace and the simple design.
