WordPress Theme of the Month: Color Paper
November 6th, 2008 by MattThis month’s featured WordPress theme is Color Paper from Smashing Magazine.
Color Paper is the latest free WordPress theme from Smashing Magazine. It’s a two-column theme that feels fairly spacious and open.
The front page template looks great. The most recent post is highlighted nicely in a section that appears to be a piece of paper on top of the rest of the layout. Below that, the rest of the posts are arrayed, with little tab-piecing sticking out on the left for the timestamp. All of the posts are displayed as excerpts to conserve space.
The sidebar looks good, and has a width of 315 pixels, which is wide enough to fit a two-column block of 125×125 ads if you wanted.
Overall it’s a nice-looking theme especially suitable for a personal blog. The sidebar has room to display feeds from your digital life all over the web, which plenty of plugins will help you do.
The theme looks great, thanks for sharing.
