New Theme: Blogum
July 28, 2011
Today we are introducing a clean and minimalist theme, Blogum.
The Blogum Theme
Designed by WPShower, Blogum has a grid-based layout and is designed in a modern style. This very clean style allows your reader to precisely focus on your content.
Blogum has a widget area in the right sidebar. It also includes a full-width template to hide the sidebar. You are able to customize even more with a header image, background, and custom menu.
Blogum also supports three post formats, Aside, Image, and Gallery. Read all about Blogum’s features on the Theme Showcase.

I already got my favourite theme :D. Such themes are simple and offer a good overview, but I like more colours, more functions and things to change, how I am like them! 😉

Probably going to try this. Love it over all, but that Heading Six feature really nails it. Looks like just what I’ve always wanted for pull quotes.

Hmm, I like that the columns aren’t in a normal pattern

Neat. I liked it from the very beginning. The option I lacked earlier was thet the photos I add are the same width each. This makes it even more tidy and well-organised. I’ll sure be using it for a looooooong time. Thanks for it. It’s exactly what I needed.

Just the theme I have been waiting for, and I have tried many. Simple, clean lines, and best of all it didn’t delete all my post photos; I have many photos and to lose them in the changeover would have been a nightmare. Therefore, smooth transition for me and I love the modern-look cloud widgets!

Nice one, Takashi – the first theme I thought about switching to in a while. The font integrates nicely.
Instead of a white background, I wonder how a light grey would look?

Thanks, John. You can change the background color in Appearance → Background. Go ahead and try to see if Blogum suits you 🙂

Admittedly, I’ve been very frustrated with the latest WP themes, however this one is just lovely. I’m not going to switch because I’m in love with my current layout, however much kudos to the designer here, and kudos to you, WP! I agree with several others above me in that I appreciate your minimalist themes… I feel that what would be uber helpful at this point is more customization for each individual existing theme…but I’m getting away from my compliment here – good job!
