			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I <a href="http://wphacks.com/wordpress-theme-request-parked-wordpress-theme/">wrote a post</a> requesting a &#8220;parked&#8221; theme be created that received a pretty good response. Many of the comments actually pointed me to an existing WordPress theme known as <a href="http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-domain-parking-theme/">LaunchPad</a>, which the author advertises as a parked theme.</p>
<p>While this isn&#8217;t exactly what I meant by a parked theme, I think that it is a great free WordPress theme that I figured I would share with everyone. The basic idea of this theme is to be a placeholder before your launch your blog.  When you buy a domain and plan on launching a website, you put this theme up while you work on building your blog. Once ready, just replace this theme with your blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://wphacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/launchpad.jpg" title="LaunchPad"><img src="http://wphacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/launchpad.jpg" alt="LaunchPad" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see, it is a very clean and simple design that includes a button so people can subscribe via RSS or e-mail  so that they can start getting updates once the website is launched. </p>
