Mojito
Mojito is the name I'm using for a Graffiti-compatible version of by Kyle Neath's Hemingway theme for Wordpress.
Hemingway has its share of enthusiasts and detractors. Mainly they consider the navigation to be somewhat lacking. Form follows function, folks: it's a blog theme. Don't use it on a site that requires substantial multi-level navigation. True, it's not a forgiving theme: to someone who'll just start adding widgets and plugins and google ads without considering how they'd affect the look, it stinks. Instead, it's a theme that rewards the attention of its user. I've always liked it; it's a simple theme, but like many simple things, must have taken an age to get the arrangement right.
So, that's why.
Oh, and why the name "Mojito"? Well, it's one of the few pieces of Graffiti that Hemingway wrote, in the La Bodeguita bar in Cuba.

If there's enough interest, I'll make it available to download. Right now it's a little too customized and specific for just the way I likes it. I'd need to make a couple of tweaks to have it work with standard graffiti widgets, and that leads to whole hosts of possible layout issues.
