What it does
Many blog themes are designed around large images and multimedia, which can crowd out the writing itself. RibTun takes the opposite approach. Its text-centric design uses clean layouts and careful typography to keep the reader focused on your words. It works well for image-free blogging, so you can publish posts without hunting for a featured photo every time, and the result still looks finished and tidy.
When you do want visuals, the theme includes the Revolution Slider plugin, which you can use to feature selected stories, highlight posts or display personal photographs in sliders. Customization options cover fonts, colors and layouts, so the blog can reflect your own style. The design is responsive and retina ready, adapting to desktops, tablets and phones, and the interface is meant for writers with little technical background who want to set up and start publishing.
Best for
- Authors and creative writers publishing stories or poetry
- Journalists and essayists running text-focused blogs
- Bloggers who want a minimal, typography-led design
