Posted by Deevan in A Blank Joomla template?
Hey, I need a completely blank Joomla template that I can edit with Joomla 1.0! Anyone know where to find one - it would also be useful if I could edit the header, but I’m not going to complain if you can’t find one like that 
My favourite blank template is part of the tutorials from Compass Designs:

Here is the tutorial:

Here are the files - you will have to register and login to get them but it is really worth the effort:

The template is free, clean and xhtml friendly and the tutorials are very easy to understand:
As Joomla templates are just simple files they are editable with a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++.
There are excellent template guides around. Firstly for Joomla version 1.0.XX there are visual tutorials:

Also check out Rocket Theme’s site. They too have great tutorials:

My only personal adjustment to their template is the path to the template in the index.php file on line 15 starting
