New Theme: Modularity Lite
Grab your extra-large images and check out today’s new theme, Modularity Lite. If you want a photo blog or portfolio site our one-hundredth theme might be the perfect thing for you. Let’s take a look at it.
The Modularity Lite Theme
If you’re attaching large images (950 pixels by 425 pixels and up) to your posts you can turn on the optional home page slideshow in Appearance → Theme Options. Modularity Lite grabs the first large image attachment from your most recent posts and turns them into a dynamic, full-width slideshow.
Also available from the Theme Options page: a welcome message you can enable on the home page just above the slideshow and a checkbox for making Modularity Lite a full-width, no-sidebar theme.
Modularity Lite Theme Options
We’ve also made sure that Modularity Lite is really customizable. There’s a Custom Header (950 pixels by 200 pixels), Custom Background, and a fully-widgetized footer at the bottom of every page. Check out the Modularity Lite demo and take a closer look.
Designed by Graph Paper Press, Modularity Lite is now available for WordPress.com and, for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, from the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

This looks great! I need to experiment! Keep em coming guys!
June 24th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Hooray, a new theme again.
Like this.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
It’s really cool, I will use it for my photo blog
June 24th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Happy 100, WP! Another sleek design.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Awesome theme. I think this is almost what I have been looking for. Loving Twenty Ten but if I can’t sleep tonight I will give this one a try.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
100 themes but I am still addicted to iNove.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Another brilliant theme, will give it a try.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Looks very nice … so many fun themes. Thanks!
June 24th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Wow another new theme, awesome!!
June 24th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Now this i like! This will work like gangbusters for a unique ‘Business picture blog’ I’ve been ruminating on. Soon, with your help, I’ll rule the world of ‘Graphic Business Pictures for Education in Zimbabwe’. Ok, so maybe it’s a small niche, but still!
Thanks for making it possible!
June 24th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I really like the slide shows. I would like to see more of those. Are older themes typically updated? I like Vigilance which I am using and would love to see updates to it as opposed to switching around.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
We do indeed update older themes (Vigilance has customizable menus now, for example) but header slideshows will probably remain a theme-specific feature. That said, if you like slideshows you should check out our new slideshow shortcode for sharing photos in a post.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
I am really loving all the new themes! It’s getting really hard to choose between them all!!!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
That’s quite nice if you’re looking for a heavy image theme. Good work
June 24th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Nice theme. Doesn’t work for me, but can see this being popular.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
I tried it, it was nice but not for me I’m afraid.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Looks very nice : )
June 24th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
I love it. Keep up the great work!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Not for me, but still stylish.
Way to go on your 100th theme! Can’t wait to see the next 100!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
Yay!! The theme I’ve been waiting anxiously for every day!! I moved instantly from Duotone. As cute as the background colors were, sometimes they were horridly wrong…
Thankyouthankyouthankyou from the bottom of my photoblogging heart!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
That’s a very nice one with so many customizable features; I am still in love with 2010 and Koi for its neat and old- bookish look respectively. Though, I have checked the slide- show option and that’s wonderful..
You are spoiling us with choices.. Congratulations on exceeding a century.. Cheers..!!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
WOW. Very nice!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Awesome! Very crisp and clean my friend!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
This is your best theme ever!! I am going to try this one out. Thanks a lot. Keep them coming!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Not exactly what I`m looking for for my photoblog, but it’s a very beautiful theme!
Thank you all for providing us such lovely options!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Got to try this one later. Nice job.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Very nice guys!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Very nice indeed! Another “if I change from what I’ve got, I believe I’ll give that one a try!” types! Excellent.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Pretty simple but looks classy!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Superb…Very Nice….Clean & Simple
June 24th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
I can’t get enough new themes. Good work!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Wow! I like the slideshow!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
I love the look and feel of this BIG IMAGE theme!
Serving the wide variety of theme tastes is what makes WP.com so entirely special and unique in the content blogging niche.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Crisp indeed. Now you’ve got me thinking of changing mine.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Wow, there’s like a new theme every-other day! The slideshow option at the top is pretty cool, think I’ll try it for my art or photo blog. Keep up the great work!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
It’s amazing!!! I don’t have proper words to describe my feelings about it!
June 24th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Wow. I might have to tinker with this. LOVE.
June 24th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Congratulations on 100 themes! WordPress has come a long way!
I just don’t like the first picture of the post… I hate bugs.
June 24th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
THIS IS IT! I have waited for a theme just like Modularity Lite! I am crazy about the large header with slide show capacity. You hit this ball out of the park!
June 24th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Wow. Just wow to the 100th theme you guys have created. Thank you for all the choices! This theme is just awesome for mega images. I may have to start another blog just for the use of getting big time photos up. How much fun is this!!! Thanks guys!
June 24th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Keep the new themes coming! Super good job!
June 24th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
This looks great. I’m going to use this theme just for my photos and link it to my main blog. Congrats on 100!
June 24th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Awesome theme
!!!
June 24th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
This theme is really great. I mean really, really great. Good job
June 24th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Nice!! But for me Journalist that I am using now is just fine. Good for those who use photos more. Beautiful.
June 24th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
I think I finally got what I’ve been waiting for. Thanks.
June 24th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Photo blog? that’s wonderful!!! you know what? I have wanted to share my photos ONLY, and I think this is going to be my choice!
Thank you
June 24th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
It’s amazing. Thanks guys!
June 24th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
Definitely using this one. Looks great! Keep em coming.
June 24th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
Perfect! Exactly the kind of theme I was looking for!
June 24th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
I love that it’s really customizable!
June 24th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
you’re doing well lately….
June 24th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Too dark, nice hundred themes though
June 24th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
100 Themes! Awesome!
June 24th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
It’s good, but I still think TwentyTen is the One
June 24th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
I love the colors!
June 24th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
Perfect theme for photo blogs! Thanks
June 24th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Thank you. Best way to present photos.
June 24th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
This looks great – perfect for displaying photographs. Thanks
June 24th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Playing around with this theme now. And Graph Paper Press is known for it’s photo blog templates. Thanks WordPress!!!
June 24th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I love darker colored themes as they’re easier on the eyes and take less energy to display. My current theme (Motion) is very nice except that it doesn’t have a large photo header like this.
Very nice. Certainly one of the best recently added themes I’ve seen.
June 24th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
I’ve just realized fairly recently that I want to be a photographer, and this will be great for when I’ve started really getting going. Thanks.
June 24th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
this would be a great theme for artists I know and am working with!
June 24th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
This is fantastic for those with photo blogs. I love the features, especially the home page slideshow! This is not the theme for me, but it is great for bloggers that tell their story with photos.
June 24th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Cool theme…can’t wait to try it out.
June 24th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Love the theme, but if it is truly meant for photoblogging, then there should be an option for thumbnail images to show on the archive page.
June 24th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Ooh! Those are some large images, huh?!
June 24th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
OMIGOSH, COOOOL!
June 24th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
I love this theme and will most definately use it
June 24th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Perfect photo blog. It’s good for photographers or people who would like to share their photos on their blog. It’s a nice set up.
June 24th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I’m gonna give it a go, looks great.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Seriously love this option.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
What a terrific addition to the theme parade. I’m sure photobloggers will welcome it.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Congratulations on number 100!
June 24th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Wow, another really cool theme! The demo’s pretty nice. Thanks again, guys…
June 24th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
I like themes that give emphasis to images. Hoping themes for photo blogs would be coming soon. Keep it up, Theme Team!
June 24th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Very nice! Would be great to showcase my art and photography :3
June 24th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Love the slideshow.
Would have loved it even more if it was a bit smaller like the featured post in the Structure theme.
I am going to use this one, but want to see more smaller slideshows on the home page next time
June 24th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
I love the extra large photo box which would be great for my gardening blog, but the background looks dreary.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Luckily, the background is customizable.
You can set a custom image or color from Appearance > Background in your dashboard.
June 24th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
This theme is so nice! That’s a shame its fonts are too small. Maybe you should work on flexible-fonts theme, like Mystique from WordPress.org. Anyways, congratulations, wp!
June 24th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
This is what I have been patiently waiting for! Thanks guys!
June 24th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Congrats on 100th theme!!! You guys are doing great!!!
June 24th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
This is exactly the theme I’ve been looking for. Thank you!
June 24th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Cool theme…can’t wait to try it out.
June 24th, 2010 at 11:26 pm
This theme is extra ordinary. Normally I’m not fond of dark themes but this theme and settings rocks. Wow, what a great work. Thanks for all of your work and all the new themes. I have to say whole WordPress rocks. Thanks.
June 24th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
Wow! Really beautiful! =)
June 25th, 2010 at 12:17 am
Congratulations on hitting 100! I saw the homepage a while ago thinking “they need to update it from ‘over 60 attractive themes’” – the WordPress themes have been both quality and quantity, very much appreciated. This is really beautiful. I think I might start a blog for my hand drawn artwork and display it in this!
June 25th, 2010 at 12:55 am
How fabulous!!! Can’t wait to see it put into action!!!
June 25th, 2010 at 1:07 am
Another photo-theme-blog
But I love the modern design.
June 25th, 2010 at 1:23 am
I’m not really a photo junkie, so it doesn’t work for me at present, but it’s very nice. I love black or blue themes. Nice work!
June 25th, 2010 at 1:24 am
Wow that’s look so great.. I’ll try and hope will be better… thanks.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:29 am
At last I have found the perfect theme!!!! Thank you, WordPress. *bowing down towards my computer screen.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:46 am
That would be great for people who want to display their art. Good job!
June 25th, 2010 at 2:55 am
I always love it when we can display our big pics propoerly on our blogs, thanks for this theme!
June 25th, 2010 at 2:58 am
I don’t have any pictures cool enough to put that big on my blog. Yet. I have photoshop so watch out.
June 25th, 2010 at 3:05 am
Wow indeed! I’m so glad that you keep making such cool new themes. That slide show is so nice, i just need time to remodel.
June 25th, 2010 at 3:30 am
It’s so natural.. I like it.
June 25th, 2010 at 4:05 am
Awesome! I’ve been wanting a more “photo-friendly” theme that lets me post more than one photo. Thanks!
June 25th, 2010 at 5:18 am
Another nice new theme. Thanks again! ^^
June 25th, 2010 at 6:28 am
Love the colors…. maybe it’s just me and black
anything dark is good for the soul 
June 25th, 2010 at 6:50 am
I love it! Thank you, guys! Really
