Bring everyone together around your blog for the holidays, with Together. It’s a bold, one-column theme for your personal blog with a featured illustration by Mads Berg. Based on Eighties, its post formats highlight your web finds in colorful style, its large featured images put your work front and center, and the responsive design looks and works great on any device.

Post Formats and Sticky Posts

Post Formats and Sticky Posts are accented with larger images and different background colors to set them apart from the rest of your content.

Theme Options

You can choose whether to display a Featured Image or the Custom Header Image as a background to the site title area on single posts and pages by going to Customize →  Theme. By default, Together will display the Custom Header image.

Featured Images

Full-width Featured Images are displayed above the post content on the blog index and archive pages. If the “Featured Image” option is checked under Customize →  Theme, it will also be shown on single posts.

Widgets

Together includes one widget area behind an icon (located at the top-right corner of the header) and three widget areas in the footer. Both areas are configured under Customize → Widgets.

Social Links

You can add all your social links underneath the main navigation menu by following these steps:

1. Create a new Custom Menu, and assign it to the Social Menu location.
2. Add links to each of your social services using the Links panel.
3. Icons for your social links will automatically appear underneath the main navigation, which is accessed by clicking the menu toggle icon (three horizontal lines).

Custom Menus

Together includes one more Custom Menu in addition to the Social Links menu. The main navigation is located behind a toggle menu icon in the header.

Portfolio

Together takes advantage of the Portfolio feature on WordPress.com, offering unique layouts and organization for your portfolio projects. You can learn how to enable and set up this exciting feature here.

People love seeing full-size images of your work, so make sure the images you include are at least 1000px wide. Together displays these images at full width on larger screens.

Custom Header and Background

You can personalize your site with a custom header that will appear behind your site title and description, replacing Together’s illustration. Note: The parallax scrolling effect in the header is visible when Infinite Scroll is not active.

The background can also be customized by going to Customize → Colors & Backgrounds.
