Extended Theme Description:

Base is a free theme developed and designed by Cobus Bester.  The theme is extremely minimalist, but has dozens of added benefits, including the use of the 960.gs CSS framework, pre-styled paragraph elements, and more.

The theme appears as a basic white and gray/black theme, although it features many benefits that you will be able to take advantage of once you install the theme.  In addition to these elements, a subscription area, Flickr photostream (widget/plugin required), and styled search box are included.

Installation: The typical install process is followed for installing the theme, although you may need to style a few of the elements, such as pullquotes, in order for them to display correctly (they are pre-built into the code).

Support: Contact the designer for support-related questions.

License: The theme has been released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
