Theme designers must be strapped for inspiration. After talking about WP CODA, which was based off of the impressive Coda site, just a couple of days ago, we now have a theme that is based off of the look and feel of the most popular Linux OS, Ubuntu. Aptly named Ubuntu WP (are we seeing a similarity here?), the theme does a nice job of bringing the now classic Ubuntu color scheme to blogs everywhere.

To be quite honest, I was getting rather tired of seeing many Linux blogs all use the same default WordPress theme or a similarly unattractive design, so its nice to see a breath of fresh air in the Linux world–and hopefully Ubuntu WP will deliver it.

While the design won’t be winning any awards any time soon, it is certainly utilitarian, and focuses mostly on the content over wowing the visitors with snazzy effects and chic color choices. Nonetheless, if your readers are like any of the Linux users I know, you’ll have no problem getting them to read your blog so long as you provide them with plenty of function, or content in this case, over form.

And, to top it all off, Ubuntu WP packs in all the things that will make Ubuntu users rejoice. Stable, Widget Ready, HTML and CSS Valid, and totally Free.
