Note: This theme is for Statamic v.1
Maldonado is a free blog theme made with simplicity in mind. Just the basics pretty much.
It's made for the awesome Statamic CMS, so to use it in the wild you do need to buy a license from their website.
The Maldonado theme would work nicely as a simple journal/blog or maybe a small website and it's easily customized if you know your way around SASS and HTML (and Statamic).

Maldonado comes with the following templates:
This is the standard or default page. Use this for simple static pages like About or Contact.
The blog listing page. Maldonado uses the "/blog" for entries. You could however probably set it up so that the blog listing is on "/" with some tweaking.
A basic Home or Landing page. It's got some optional text fields as well as the latest two blog posts displayed.
A simple archives page. Lists entries by year.
A super simple categories page. Just lists category names and number.
Maldonado makes use of two free add-ons. For the full feature experience both these add-ons must be added.
It is possible to skip the Disqus add-on if you don't want to add comments, but the Globals is pretty much a must.
Globals (by Jason Varga.)
Needed for global settings, such as site logo, footer content, Color Schemes and several other global settings
Download/clone & install instructions - https://github.com/pixelfear/Statamic-Globals
Disqus (by Jack McDade.)
Easy way to add Disqus-powered comments
Download/clone & install instructions - https://github.com/statamic/Plugin-Disqus
Note: All that is needed for disqus comments to work is to add the "add-on" to the "_add-ons folder".
The rest, such as adding your Disqus shortname, and enabling comments is managed through the theme.yaml file.
To enable comments: In _themes/maldonado/theme.yaml Swap the "changeme" with your own Disqus shortname and change show_comments to "yes".
Done
Based on (a slightly modified) Html5 Boilerplate
Uses Normalize
All this goodness compiled with Codekit
(But you could mos def grunt/gulp/broccoli-fy all tasks. I might be persuaded to look into it if there is a need.)
A config.codekit file as well as a "bower_components" folder is included in the repo. These are needed for Codekit and can be removed if you don't use it.
Built with SASS (scss)
Uses the Jeet Grid System and
breakpoint-sass - for simple breakpoint handling
jQuery
Masonry - For some bloglisting pizzaz.
animate.css
Google Fonts - (Playfair Display & Open Sans)
Fontawesome - icons
Maldonado uses cdns for animate, google fonts, fontawesome, jQuery & masonry. So you could easily delete or switch out libs just by removing the link tags.
Do what you wish with this theme.
Want to use it for your personal blog? Cool!. Like to use it as a starter theme? Great!. Want to chop it up, add/remove stuff and use it in client work? sure, go for it!
Feel free to use this theme anyway you want.
(You could, if you wanted, refer to this theme/repo or me on you page somewhere, you don't have to but it would be cool if you did.)
I would love to hear if you use it for something somewhere & and shoot me an email if you find any bugs.
