We are releasing a 750px wide version of our popular YUI-Mainstream built on the framework of the YUI Grids CSS library. The theme is based upon the SEO Sandbox Theme by Ian Purton, which is a fantastic place to start for all theme developers thinking about making accessbile, standards compliant themes.
- 750px wide with 240px sidebar on the right
- Because the uses the YUI, there are almost 200 preset layouts and an unlimited number of custom permutations that work across all A-grade browsers, all for less than 2.5kb of minimized file weight
- Widgetized sidebar
- Perfect scaling for improved readability
- Valid XHTML
- GPL Licensed
- Sponsored Link Free
This is a free theme. You might consider checking out the “big brother” of this theme called “Shifter”. Shifter is the only Theme System Developed for Wordpress. Learn more about Shifter.
Support for the theme is given via comments on this post.

Really nice theme! I just had to switch to it, when I saw it after reading the “WordPress Theme Releases for 05/24″ on Weblog Tools Collection. I’ve been looking for a new theme for about two months, and when this showed up, I fell in love - especially after looking at the generated html. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you!

This theme is so versatile because of the YUI, the structural possibilities are virtually endless. We will be offering different color combos later. The theme looks great on your site with your color mod.

A little theme adjustment…
After Maas noticed, that the date of posts missed on the main page of my blog, I just had to add it, so some of this evening have I spent with modification of the theme, and while I was at it, I just added the categories, posts are posted under, too.

@ppalayo, yes wordpress runs MyBiggestComplaint.com. I’d love to be able to tell you in 25 words or less how we modified it, but it’s just impossible! We’ve written a ton of plugins on our own to make the site what it is.
I do plan on a few posts here at buzzdroid to highlight some of the modifications that were made to the site. Look for a few of those posts in the upcoming weeks.
We just rewrote much of the code that makes MyBiggestComplaint.com what it is including the “Friends” system that we have. A new design is forthcoming and you can read more about it here.

@Mike, glad you are enjoying the YUI theme.
This is just a note to let you know we took many of the same ideas and concepts we developed in that theme and expanded it into the first Wordpress Theme System ever. You may have already noticed the Shifter System, but if you haven’t, you can learn more about it http://wordpress.shiftertheme.com. Shifter is like the big brother of the YUI theme you downloaded
