Opaline: A Nice White WordPress Theme

I have a tendency to filter out themes that I couldn’t see a church or ministry blog using, even if they’re great for other purposes. I also have a tendency to spot themes made for other purposes, and visualize them being used in a ministry environment. That’s the case with Opaline, the newest offering from Viva Themes.

Yes, it features spa-like imagery on the demo, but there’s something about the typography and excellent use of whitespace I love about the layout. I can definitely see some potential for this one as a ministry blog or magazine… or even a blogazine!

Standard Newsfeed – A Minimalist Standard Theme Skin

Standard Newsfeed

Standard Theme is one of my favorite premium WordPress themes on the market, and one of the nice advantages is the child themes given away in the support forums each month. This month, it’s the Standard Newsfeed theme – ideal for writers and lovers of minimalism. Anybody can put out a whitened design, but it takes skill to balance all the elements and present content with a sweet typographical flare.

How do you get this theme?

  1. You’ve gotta buy Standard Theme
  2. Install it, but don’t activate it.
  3. Log into the Standard Theme support forums and download the Newsfeed child theme.
  4. Install it, and DO activate it.
