 * Hi everyone!
 * I’m searching for a super basic theme that looks (exactly) like my current blog
   layout [http://www.thisishamid.com/blog](http://www.thisishamid.com/blog) (2 
   columns; sidebar left-aligned)
 * Reason: I have been told that (for a beginner) it’s better to start with a basic
   style instead of the Kubrick style.
    You might wonder why since I did a pretty
   good job (ugh) customizing the Kubrick style into what I have now? Well.. it’s
   Mozilla vs. IE. that I am having troubles with.. I can’t get things how I want
   them to be.. style’s too ‘extensive’ if that makes sense?
 * I’ve already checked [http://themes.wordpress.net/theme-viewer.php](http://themes.wordpress.net/theme-viewer.php)
   but I haven’t found what I am looking for.
 * Any help/tips are appreciated!
 * Ps: I’m using WP 1.5.2
 * Thanks,
    Hamid

 * What are you tring to do on your current site. It might be easier to just fix
   the style code there instead of building a new layout..

 * Well I just thought it’s easier to start with a basic style and then rebuild 
   what I have now.
 * The kubrick style is pretty extensive you know. For a beginner like me there’s
   too much css in the style.css; I just can’t see the wood for the trees.
 * I encountered the first problems when I added a backgroundimage to my blog.. 
   haha.. that’s when I realized how messed up everything is 🙂

 * Take a look at the ‘Classic’ theme that comes pre-installed with WordPress. It
   has a couple of problems but it’s much simpler and easier to work with than Kubrick.
