New Theme: Basic Maths
Reminiscent of primordial grid designs used in different print mediums, Basic Maths is one of the most elegant, and smartly-designed themes we’ve ever seen. We are thrilled to have it now available for WordPress.com sites as a Premium Theme. One particular thing of note about Basic Maths, is that it comes with custom support direct from us, the Theme Team at Automattic, for the one-time price of $75.
Apart from a thoughtful design, Basic Maths also offers some cool features, including the possibility to choose custom colors for links and other visual elements, helping you make this theme feel more personal to your site. If you want to make a statement about how important your content is, Basic Maths could be the answer.
You can check more about the theme, designed and developed by Khoi Vinh and Allan Cole, on the Theme Showcase. We hope you like it.

Like Math…. it’s just too complicated. Have any simple forms or shortcuts?
April 6th, 2011 at 6:30 am
We do: see the full explanation of the theme’s features over on the Theme Showcase.

Very nice and simple theme.

That’s really nice! Thinking about using it for my pet’s blog.

*Blank stare.* I don’t like it. It doesn’t move me. LOL.

Not for me

It is a clean theme, but a little to black and white for me, but a nice addition to the WP family.

it’s great – but it would be nice if purchasing such a theme would allow us to drop ads on our blog. I’d grab a premium theme in a heartbeat if i could.

Nice theme, too pricey, would consider using it if it was free!
April 8th, 2011 at 3:47 pm
Boring!
I will never use it at that price.

I quite like it.

Slick. Looks too cluttered for me, though–I like simple layouts.

I would like to see examples of ‘live’ blogs with this format.

Hi there, we don’t have any examples posted to the Theme Showcase yet, but you can check back soon to http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/basic-maths/ — we’ll be adding sites there soon.

I wouldn’t choose it if it were free.

I like the minimalism, but it’s too ugly for words.
April 11th, 2011 at 10:11 am
It’s a nice theme but too plain for me… I like colour and something easy and pleasing to the eye. But I can see its purpose and functionality and it will be really all about what your blogging on and if it works for. I’m happy with mine, wont be changing it very soon.
April 11th, 2011 at 2:13 pm
Complex… this is useful in science, but not in entertainment or lifestyle.
April 11th, 2011 at 5:24 pm
It’s simply clean.
April 11th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
I’ve always loved math but this blew me away!
I would of had it as a blog thing if it didn’t cost 75$. That makes me sad.
April 11th, 2011 at 11:15 pm
75 bucks to make a nice looking blog? 5 or 10, maybe. But SEVENTY FIVE? That’s crazy.
I know you guys need money, but can’t you lower the prices of these themes?
April 12th, 2011 at 6:29 am
Nice, I like it.
April 12th, 2011 at 7:40 am
It looks okay. However I am not sure I am willing to pay for it.
April 12th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
I don’t like it. There’s so many “clean” blog templates that y’all have… needs something with warmer colours. Still waiting with bated breath for a horse theme.
April 13th, 2011 at 9:14 am
It looks awesome man! Great work!
