    Thanks for listing my theme. I am glad that you liked w2 DND enough to list it here!

    A minimalist theme I do not see a lot but really like is Apricot. I have been using it for a while on my family site until I find time to redesign.

    Thanks again!

    I appreciate the mention of the Grady theme Wallace. It’s humbling to be included in a list of people and themes I admire and feel deserve far more acknowledgment and praise than myself. Nonetheless, it’s always nice to be noticed so I thank you sir. It’s a great list and service. I’ll be looking for similar ones in the future.

    Once again, thanks for the kind words Wallace. It helps a great deal to hear someone say you’re doing a good job. Left to my own accord I frequently fret it’s never good enough. Keep up the nice work here at CSS Juice. I’ll be following along from the cozy confines of my RSS Reader.

    Some stunning examples, the hard thing is choosing which one to use. - Minimalist themes always begs the question: Form over function?
