New Themes: Spirit and Spun
Happy Theme Thursday, all! Today I’m proud to introduce two new free themes to the WordPress.com theme family.
Spirit
Spirit is a festive treat for your personal blog, complete with softly falling snow and a wintry color palette. Share past holiday memories or create a website to coordinate the next family Christmas party. Post formats allow you to highlight images, videos, quotes, and more, while the responsive design ensures your site looks great at any screen size.
Read more about Spirit on the Theme Showcase, or activate it on your blog by going to Appearance → Themes.
Spun
Next up is Spun, a minimalist theme that puts the emphasis on your content; extraneous navigation fades away to put your words and images front and center. Whether you’re a writer, photographer, or personal blogger, Spun‘s beautiful typography and responsive design showcase your creativity with subtle elegance.

I’m not a spiritual person, but I like Spirit’s fonts and its basic layout structure. Can we hope to see a season-independent variation of it in the future?

That’s a neat idea; we’ll keep it in mind for a future child theme. Thanks!

Ahh, you got me! 😉 It’s been on WordPress.com for several days, but we hadn’t had a chance to announce it ’til now.

Spirit seems to include all of the underlying structural elements I love about San Kloud. If and when the time comes for a change, it will be high on my list.

Caroline Moore: você é uma artista!
Sempre faço o possível para utilizar algum tema seu. Tenho dois blogs ativos e, no momento, ambos utilizam Spun.
Obrigada por existir!

I absolutely love the Spun design. I know that many of my friends could use this format to promote the art that they create, and I could even use this myself for my own business. In itself, the Spun design sort of brings the artist out of your inner self. It causes you to search for creativity in your head, and to put all your ideas into a collage of some sort. I love your methods of self expression through your designs, and I thank you for that!

I’m not saying that I don’t like the Spun theme (in fact I use it for my blog), but your official announcement of the Spun theme is relatively late, since the Spun theme has been here since November. (No offense.)

This is true! Sometimes we’ll launch themes ahead of their official announcements to get them to ya’ll quicker. Really glad you’re enjoying Spun!

Thank you for the new themes. I’d like to use Spirit over the Christmas period. Is it easy to go back to my usual theme after that? And how do I do that? Apologies if this is a silly question.
