New Themes: My Life and Silesia
Today, I’m excited to announce the two latest additions to our ever-growing collection of free themes.
My Life is a cool, serene blogging theme by Justin Tadlock. With subtle colors, readable typography, and a vintage feel, it offers a classic look for your personal journal or blog.
My Life can be used as a one-column tumblelog, or it supports up to two widget areas for a two- or three-column layout with multiple sidebar positions. It also includes up to three custom menus and support for several post formats, making the theme incredibly flexible and versatile.
Read more about My Life on the Theme Showcase, or activate it on your site by going to Appearance -> Themes.
Silesia is a clean and elegant blogging theme with a twist: it features an expanding left sidebar for an additional navigation or other Widgets you find useful!
Designed by NattyWP, Silesia comes with two sidebar areas, custom gallery styles, support for the Aside, Image, Video, Quote, and Link post formats, custom backgrounds, and custom headers.
Find out more about how to get started with Silesia on the Theme Showcase, or activate it on your blog by going to Appearance -> Themes.

In the Silesia demo we can see chat posts, but in the theme we does not have them. Why is that?

If posts were marked with a post forma that Silesia does not support, the theme still honors them by displaying a corresponding icon and a link to that post format archive page. It does not come with a special way of presenting those post formats, though.

Thank you for the new themes! I am a newbie at blogging ……….. and it is great to see new and different options … now if I could only figure how to add “Pages” I would be all set …… My theme is Dusk to Dawn – and love the colour etc … just not sure of the layout.

I think I like Silesia. It is clean and looks fresh. “My Life” shows a gloomy life..

I have to say, I`m not really a fan of any of the simple themes. My favorite is still Something Fishy, and it boggles my mind that so few people use it! It is just too cute. Maybe the more intricate themes scare people off, because they seem to support very themed content of blogs? My blog really has nothing to do with fish or the sea, but I think the playfulness of the theme supports my more everyday content.
