What it does
Running a blog means your writing has to be easy to read, and the site around it should stay out of the way. This theme focuses on that job with clean typography, subtle animations and simple navigation. It suits a personal blog as well as a content-heavy magazine, and the responsive layout adapts your pages to desktops, tablets and phones so readers get a consistent experience wherever they open your posts.
Customization happens through the theme customizer, where you can change colors, fonts, layouts and widgets without writing code. You can pick from several blog and post layouts to present articles, galleries and multimedia, then fill widget-ready sidebars and the footer with recent posts, tags, categories and social links. The theme is translation ready for multilingual sites, and it works alongside other CSSIgniter plugins if you want to add more features later.
