Current Availablity:

I've been building websites for years using Open Source frameworks, components, templates, etc.  The nice thing about Open Source projects for the most part is that they're free. 'Free', as in, getting something someone else has worked hard on for zilch. As sweet as this is, the other side of the 'Open Source' coin is the community aspect. People release open source projects and code for the greater good of the community.

Well, for years I've wanted to gain enough experience to start giving back to the open source community, especially the community I've gotten so much from: the Joomla community. 

Without further ado, I present my first of many attempts to give back and enrich  the Joomla community: the Whitespace 1.0 template for Joomla 1.5.

If you hadn't noticed, I'm not much for graphics or clutter. The goal of this template is stay out of the way of the content. Since there are only a handful of small graphics, this template happens to be blazing fast. Much of the CSS is compressed to shave some kbs from supporting files as well.

I built the template on the 960.gs CSS framework, and I have to say, I pretty much love the 960.gs framework. It definitely gave the template a professional edge with all the consistency.

The template is pretty simple as far as templates these days go. All of the module positions are collapsible and hopefully there are enough module positions to make the template pretty versitile. 

In order of appearance, here are the available modules:

• Search
• Menu
• Top
• Banner
• User1
• User2
• User3
• Left
• Content
• Bottom
• User4
• User5
• User6
• User7
• User8
• User9
• Footer Menu
• Footer

Hopefully I'll get a test site up soon to show it off. Until then, below are some screenshots for you.
