My first contribute to the WordPress community is this theme called Cloudoon. This theme should work on WordPress 2.2.1+ . It shouldn’t be too hard integrating any other plugin into this theme and it already supports the related posts plugin.

Unlike many other wordpress themes, this one is plug and play baby!
