What it does
Many blog themes pile on visual clutter that pulls attention away from the writing. Editor Blog takes the opposite approach with a simple, uncluttered design that keeps posts at the center of the page. It works for personal stories, professional articles or creative projects, and the responsive, retina ready layout adapts to desktops, tablets and phones so readers get a clear view of your content on any screen.
Under the clean surface you get a full blog system. You can choose from three blog layouts with sidebar options, build unlimited sidebars and place custom widgets for Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest, Dribbble, Picasa and YouTube. A featured posts slider puts selected articles up front, and responsive video embeds handle various aspect ratios. Styling happens in the Theme Customizer with a live preview, so you can pick from over 600 Google Fonts and set colors without writing code.
Best for
- Personal bloggers who want a clean, minimal reading layout
- Writers sharing professional articles or opinion pieces
- Creative bloggers posting photos, videos and social feeds
