Title: Simple WordPress Theme (for personal blogging)
Post by: Afasoas on 04 March, 2014, 03:10:32 am: I'm on the look out for a recommendation on a simple light WordPress theme for a personal blog (http://www.dcadden.co.uk/).

I'm trying to keep things simple - I've lost days tweaking CSS for my business site, so I'm kinda after something that looks good straight out of the can.

I want it to be a clean and simple design. I'd like a nice sans-serif font and good spacing. Sort of like my business site, but less corporate.

Any suggestions?
Thank You

I like the themes by Elmastudio (http://www.elmastudio.de/en/themes/). Yoko is their latest free offering and Ari is its predecessor. They're both configurable for colour scheme and number of columns and they play nicely with plugins. White space and sans serif abound.
