Came across your blog via a comment you left at:
http://wpbits.wordpress.com/2007/08/17/making-wordpress-themes-i-static-basics/
So two things:
1. Love your blog!
2. Any chance of seeing code for the “barebone” theme?
With best wishes,
Jules
Hello Jules,
thank you for your comment :);
…the barebone theme is called “Deschutes”, and is still available in its original form:

There is also the original documentation…:

…and a real example:

Keep in mind that, to comply with the latest WordPress guidelines, the code (dated 2007) needs some rework.
