New Theme: Liquorice
Add a dash of color to your site with Liquorice, a wonderful new theme now available on WordPress.com.
Gorgeous textures and smooth-as-silk typography make this a striking backdrop for your content. This theme’s design is light and airy without being too plain or minimalistic; it’s a great fit for any type of site.
Liquorice features custom subscribe icons for RSS, Twitter, and Facebook for your site header and built-in support for the bold and adventurous Lobster typeface. If you choose to enable Lobster via Appearance → Typekit Fonts you’ll add an extra touch of retro feel to your site. Lobster’s bold, calligraphic strokes make it perfect for calling out titles and headings.
Make this theme your own with the custom background feature, custom header image, and custom menu. Learn all about Liquorice on the Theme Showcase.
Designed by Nudge Design, Liquorice is also available for self-hosted WordPress.org sites via the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

It’s so nice!, but I think it will be nicer if it had some ‘steampunk’ touch.

This look great! I love how smooth it is – it almost resembles embossed stationary, like a wedding invite. Kudos!

Wow thatis so cool.

Why doesn’t the font show when I use it? It’s just the usual font for the header that shows up.

Uh, I get it. Must activate typekit font.

I love that font for the header. Really beautiful and it’s unusual. I haven’t seen it around. What a temptation !

Looks dull.

Ooo! I love it, I love it, i love it! Reminds me of a ’50′s diner/drugstore! Switching over… I LOVE IT!

It’s awesome.

Kinda sweet. Might change over but right now I’m too tired. I also must agree it does like fifties diner even though I wasn’t alive in the fiveties and diners are a rare site nowadays replaced solely by the ever-growing fast food industry.
Well for now.

Simple but nice… Wonderful!
March 27th, 2011 at 8:53 am
Look forward to more choices.

Yes, like diner.
