Thanks for your awesome listings for a blogging themes. I am currently using Bloggers lite for my WordPress site. It comes with fully responsive design, live customization, left-right side bar, unlimited color options.
Hi, What do you think of the Weaver theme. Incidentally, I;m not related to this theme. I started using this theme because I was told it was the best, but I am having problems with. However, I must tell you, I’m not all that literate about themes (lol). Can you share your opinion about it, I notice you didn’t list it.
We haven’t looked into it. But you can see our guide on things you should consider when selecting a WordPress theme.
All wonderful! BUT:
What type of theme is great and clean for a writer who is
1. Giving essays and opinions and loaned product reviews on a subject (niche) but not selling his OWN products , per say.
2 taking display ads from company products he reviews or endorses (affiliates also)
3 has enough navigation / or menus for e.g: about; about publisher; advertise with us; contribute;
Contributors… Etc. or can any theme allow this to be added in or customized?
Would a blog/web style be better or a pure blog theme? Paid or free is not an option
Thanks
I need a free theme in which the post featured image fits the full screen with content on overlay for all the posts. Is there such a theme available?
Thank you for sharing amazing Business themes. I love it.
Very nice pick. Thank you very much!!!
As a really new beginner, should I have any concerns about these themes always staying current with WP itself? What about plugins? If they are offered can I also expect them to be updated with all themes as WP is updated? Thanks
WordPress has a built-in updates system. This update system not only notifies you about updates available for the WordPress core but it will also notify you about updates available for themes and plugins installed on your website. These updates can be installed from your WordPress dashboard by just a few clicks. You need to keep your plugins and themes up to date by installing these updates as soon as they appear on your dashboard. As a beginner, you should make sure that you have setup a backup plugin so that you can easily restore your site to an earlier version if something goes wrong.
awesome themes.
I use Hueman for my blog, neat and responsive
Please let me have a look at your blog…
perfect theme. tks Wp beginner
There’s also one more: Genbu.
I find that when you use Origin, the WP.com version is better.
I’m surprised that none of the themes created by Anders Norén are listed, especially his newer theme, Lovecraft.
