When building a personal blog, the theme you choose establishes your style as a blogger. If you think about it, your followers are there because of who you are. With WordPress, customizing the style of your site is easy, but you have to start with the right theme. If you were giving a speech to a large audience of professionals, you might not want to wear hammer pants. The same goes for your blog audience–make sure the style of your site is appropriate. Let’s look at three WordPress themes that offer unique ways to style a personal blog: Zennor, Inverto, and Jazzy.
When you need something elegant, Zennor is a great theme to start with. If you talk about fashion, lifestyle, food, or the like, and you have class, this theme gives you the tools you need. Choose from multiple layouts, use the featured content slider, and even integrate WooCommerce to make it a shop. Also, add your beautiful Instagram feed to your homepage to really show off your style. This theme lays back so you can be the center of attention and express your style with panache.
Sometimes minimal and cool is just what the doctor ordered. With Inverto you can express yourself more with less. This black and white theme has a sleek style that looks cool as a portfolio or photo blog. The animations and drag & drop page builder gives you a ton of flexibility, so you can build something bold and catchy that brings the focus to your content.
Jazzy gives you a colorful, eye-catching layout to start a personal blog that tells great stories. The featured slider and cool category navigation grid let your posts speak for themselves. The post feed makes every story look exciting and compelling. This theme is simple, easy to set up, and works great for travel blogs, outdoor blogs, and personal memoirs. Try out the demo, and you’ll see how it pulls you in!
You can build a blog quickly and easily and show off who you are. Just make sure you start with the right theme, or you’ll likely end up switching in the near future.
