Even More New WordPress.com Themes for August 2023

With a heavy does of minimalism and nostalgia, our latest batch of themes is sure to tug at your creative spirit.

The WordPress.com team is always working on new design ideas to bring your website to life. Check out the latest themes in our library, featuring beautiful new options for bloggers and creators of all stripes.


Negai

Negai (which means “hope” or “wish” in Japanese) is a bold blogging theme built on unadorned simplicity and minimalistic elegance. With monochromatic hues and oversized headlines, its straightforward and unapologetic style stands out in a world saturated with visual overwhelm.

Negai comes in nine color variations if blue/white isn’t the style you’re looking for.

Sten

Sten is a minimal blogging theme with a simple, straightforward homepage that displays a headline-only list of posts. Pages and posts are similarly spare, displaying a text-forward style that will appeal to writers and readers alike.

Overlaid

Overlaid is a theme that displays large titles and post excerpts that scroll over an image on the homepage. Text over an image doesn’t always work, but we solved that with large, center-aligned, and capitalized headings. Its blog post pages are crafted especially for users who want their writings to be simple yet beautiful.

Reverie

Reverie is a theme inspired by the work of Mark Rothko. It features four style variations, one for each season—Spring (default), Summer, Fall, and Winter. Use it to illuminate your prose, poetry, stories, photos, and more. Reverie is based on WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg’s site at ma.tt, which was designed by Joen Asmussen.

DOS

DOS is a blog theme designed for the nostalgic creators of the ’80s and ’90s, as a tribute to the folks who invented computing as we know it today. With its monotype font and contrasting hues of green or amber over black, you’ll be transported back to the early days of coding when anything on a computer screen was inviting and exciting.

    Reverie is intriguing. How are the shapes made – with CSS or something else?

    Wow! Thanks a lot on this. But I have a concern. I don’t understand why this keeps happening. Not only in my phone but even when I switched to my laptop, still I faced the same issue. I couldn’t just create any new blog and I don’t understand why. I wanted to write and article yesterday but it would not really bring for me the interface for writing, it often crashed down from there. Please could you fix it from somewhere?

    Anyway, I’m impressed by your new services and operations. Thanks for everything but I’m looking forward to that!
