The guys over at MNKY Studio’s have released another amazing WordPress theme a few days ago – and while I know I don’t usually post updates here regarding WordPress – as someone who helped with the original testing of this theme I am quiet excited about it’s release.

Suitable for corporate/business and creative/portfolio as well as other websites/blogs, furthermore it is fully compatible with WordPress 3.2+ and all major browsers. A few example sites that have been created using the Dotted theme settings:
