Hi Friends, We are going to discuss the best WordPress themes for the blog. Blogging is a great way to express yourself and share your thoughts with others. If you use the popular website builder and optional web hosting solution WordPress, you will know that there are a variety of themes to suit your needs for this particular activity.
We picked five that we think are worth a visit.
1. Typology
If your just focus on writing and are not bothered with things like pictures or videos, typology might be the right topic for you.
Its goal is to create a minimalist website that puts your words above everything.
You can also add pictures and videos if you want, which will simply add to the look of the page instead of distracting it.
It comes with header options, multiple pagination options including infinite scrolling, and custom widgets (which can be found in the sidebar). The typology also supports multi-author posts, 404-page customization, and even e-commerce integration.
Pros:
- Clean
- Minimalist
- Good range of customization
2. Hestia Pro
It’s designed to work well with blogging. You can tweak the layout in no time, and one of the features we liked was the ability to add parallax images or videos in the header to make a website more visually impressive.
The customization is impressive. There’s a lot of versatility in your blogging options too. It’s compatible with other page builders and has more customization options.
Pros:
- Visually interesting options
- Support for a host of different types of sites
3. Baskerville 2
Baskerville 2 is a great place to start blogging. Even with standard settings, you can easily add text, images, and videos and create attractive pages. A custom menu is located just below the header so you can easily break your blog down into easy-to-navigate sections.
Of course, you can change the theme to make it feel more unique to you, change the background, change the colors, show the sidebar of the pages, and choose from three different widgets for the footer, including three-page templates. You can add galleries, resize the header, and add a site logo too.
Best of all, Baskerville 2 is free to use, which is perfect, especially if blogging is still a hobby for you for now.
Pros:
- Simple
- Easy to use
- Free
4. OceanWP
OceanWP is another blogging topic that is advertised as free, and in a way it is.
It’s a very popular WordPress theme.
One of the best things about OceanWP is the number of demos available. In a few clicks, choose the one you want to apply to your website … unless there’s one problem: the vast majority of them aren’t free. Weird free demo and all of them we’ve seen are very well done, but if you’re looking for a “pro” you have to surrender the money.
Pros:
- Core theme is free
- Loads of customization options
5. Hemingway
This is a very simple topic with only a handful of customization features, but its purpose is to display your blog cleanly and give the reader generous white space.
It’s responsive and retina-ready to ensure the best experience on any device, and it has a full-width customizable header with parallax scrolling support to keep your page feeling modern and fresh.
Four post formats are depending on the content of the post itself (one with a picture for the post and one for quick updates, for example), and you can adjust the accent color if you don’t like the default Green.
