Mnmlist Theme
The first design this featured was a very minimalist design named ‘mnmlist‘ theme and created by Leo Babauta.
I modified the theme so it better suits my needs, while still keeping the original look and feel. The biggest change I made was adding a comment section to posts.
Now I am releasing my version just like Leo did, so you to can use, build upon and enjoy this theme too.
You can see a preview of the theme here.
Why I chose this theme
Blogging, at it’s core is the creation of content. The perfect blog theme doesn’t hinder writing, it encourages it. Mnmlist removes all distractions and complications and let’s you focus on just the content.
If you are ready to put your content in the spotlight download mnmlist today.

I love Leo’s mnmlist themea and want to download your version of it.
Will I not be able to use this theme if I am using WordPress.com, not WordPress.org?

To my knowledge teresa you can’t download this theme and use it on WordPress.com.
However you could try recreating it on WordPress.com with just a little css knowledge..

Hi Danny,
Thanks a lot for releasing your version of this theme. If you have a little time to spare, could you please tell me how I can get the “archives” page to work like yours. Thanks in advance!

Hi Dilip, the archives page is automatically generated by a fantastic WordPress plugin called “Table of Contents Creator”. It’s available free in the WordPress directory.

Hi Danny,
I got your mnmlist theme and played a little bit with it. You can see what I modified on my blog. As I’m not a web developer, I couldn’t find a way to force the theme to wrap text around images, and everything goes under the image. Could you, please, help me out a little bit? How could I make WP align images and text correctly with this theme?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for installing the theme. To make the images wrap you will need to add the following to the end of the style.css file.
#content .alignleft, #content img.alignleft {
display:inline;
float:left;
margin-right:24px;
margin-top:4px;
}
#content .alignright, #content img.alignright {
display:inline;
float:right;
margin-left:24px;
margin-top:4px;
}
#content .aligncenter, #content img.aligncenter {
clear:both;
display:block;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}#content img.alignleft, #content img.alignright, #content img.aligncenter{
margin-bottom:12px
;}

Thanks a lot for the help! I’ve added those lines to style.css. It looks much better now.
