To get a basic Worpress theme, one that is not too fancy, and that you can tweak to suit how you want your site to look, can take some finding.

I think when you are using WordPress as your personal blogging platform then having a date for each post can be a good thing.

However if you are using the WP platform for a niche site, one that you don’t want “to date”, then having a theme without any dates keeps the site looking fresh and the content up to ‘date’ so to speak.

Well, if you want to go this way I have found for you not one but seven themes without dates, definitely not desperate and dateless, just beautifully dateless.  No more going into the codes and removing the date codes from all the places the coder has put it.

The themes are stripped down to the bare bones, so they are good basic sites to build on.  You can add your own header if you wish but the theme will pick up the site title and description for you.

These are nice clean sites and won’t distract the visitor with lots of fancy bits and pieces, you add what you want them to see.  You can add your own images etc as per usual and WP 2.7 makes that easier too.

There is another plugin for adding images etc, but I’ll leave that for another day.

Okay!  Better tell you where you can get these great themes, here is the link  Dateless Themes
Scroll down the sidebar, the link to download the seven themes is towards the bottom.

Also while you are there, check out the Theme Switcher in the menu at the top, you will be able to see all the different themes right there.  As I said, nice clean sites.

They are all widget ready too, so your sidebar can be exactly what you want it to be too.

Take care

Cheers
