: Are there any WordPress themes optimized as a "starting point" for custom theme development? I found this "blank" theme, but I was wondering if there are any other themes that provide a template
I found this "blank" theme, but I was wondering if there are any other themes that provide a template for custom theme development.
I'm looking for something that, out of the box, provides a very simple theme with validating HTML (XHTML1.1, HTML 4.1 Strict, or HTML5) and CSS (CSS2 or CSS3). Then, I want to build on this theme to make a custom WordPress theme for my personal site/blog.
I've never developed a WordPress theme, but armed with the documentation and a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS and a bit of PHP experience, I should be able to make something that's my own.

Going through the link that intlect provided along with the comment by Tim Post that there are other forks of Starkers, I found references to Thematic. It appears to have some styling, but it also appears to provide valid XHTML and CSS (not validated by me since I haven't installed it yet, though). There are also existing themes built using it as a framework so you can see what other people have managed to do from this starting point.
It also appears that WordPress supports the notion of child themes. This allows any existing theme to be used as a framework, however it might not be appropriate for every theme out there.
