New Theme: Skeptical
Today we’re pleased to introduce the latest addition to our themes, Skeptical. Originally released by WooThemes for self-hosted WordPress.org blogs, Skeptical has seen great popularity as a blog theme. Now, it is available on WordPress.com.
The Skeptical Theme
The WordPress.com version is designed with Post Formats in mind. Skeptical supports nine post formats – standard, quote, aside, image, gallery, chat, audio, link, and video. Just by looking at the screenshot above, however, you can’t see all of the ingredients that make this theme sizzle. Now would be a good time to read all about Skeptical’s features on the Theme Showcase.

Beautiful. Couldn’t believe it’s free.

Nice and clear theme! Light colours make it comfortable to read.

Easily readable font, block quotes are nicely accented, wide photos are shrunk properly, lots of customization options! The main column width is quite narrow when using the three column format.

I think this is a stunning theme!!
Aug 23rd at 8:11 pm
it’s very nice! but the tagline is so small it’s virtually unreadable. I would say crank both the page title and tagline up a couple points
Aug 23rd at 8:23 pm
I think it’s the best colour theme.
Aug 23rd at 8:44 pm
A great theme, very pleasantly surprised it’s free.
Aug 23rd at 8:44 pm
Beautiful! just what I was looking for!

Wow! Really really awesome!

It’s very nice and clean. I love it!
Aug 23rd at 10:49 pm
More great themes! ^_^
Aug 23rd at 11:21 pm
Cool theme. Love the colour schemes! It’s good to bring out white themes! Hope you make more themes like this and “vigilance”!
Aug 23rd at 11:32 pm
This is beautiful. Just the kind of theme I was looking for.
Aug 24th at 12:17 am
Absolutely stunning. May be making the switch. Nice work on this one!
Aug 24th at 12:38 am

So beautiful. Thanks.
Aug 24th at 3:54 am
I have this uncanny attraction to black and white themes.
Aug 24th at 5:24 am
It’s a very nice theme… I like it.
Aug 24th at 6:01 am
Wow, love this! Will consider using this when I want to make a change. Thanks!
Aug 24th at 6:06 am
Nice one! Clean and elegant.
Aug 24th at 6:34 am
I’ve been looking for a theme to replace my much-loved Vigilance, just for a change. Skeptical has all the elements and options that I want in a new theme. I was surprised to discover that it is free. But, alas, the column width is too narrow. A lot of space is wasted on the first column whose sole purpose is to present the post title, date and number of comments. Also, tags can only be seen in a full page view of a post. But thank you, it’s still a very nice looking and functional theme.
Aug 24th at 6:35 am
Oh gosh, that’s really pretty!
Aug 24th at 7:38 am
Wow this is a very neat theme!
It’s cool to the eyes.!!
Aug 24th at 8:00 am
This theme is clean and wonderful.
Aug 24th at 9:17 am
Good contrasty. Easy on the eye. love it.
Aug 24th at 9:29 am
Looks wonderful, I’ve enabled the theme on my blog.
Aug 24th at 10:01 am
Thanks WordPress! I’ve wanted this theme for so long!
Aug 24th at 10:34 am
Nice and clear theme! Light colours make it comfortable to read.
Aug 24th at 10:36 am
Too good to be free!
Aug 24th at 11:11 am
Great theme – even gets nested lists correct, though it hides the text before the more tag in the actual post. A love/hate thing there. Would be great as a customization option (unless there is already is one).
Aug 24th at 12:27 pm
There was a glitch on more tag but it’s been resolved now. I hope you now only love the theme
Aug 24th at 12:05 pm
WooThemes are generally great. I just started a new second blog last week using their The Morning After theme; frankly I was surprised it was free. Skeptical appears to be following that tradition, and is tempting me to switch, but on balance I think Morning After still suits that particular blog’s needs better. But still, very impressed by the flexibility of all the different post formats.
Aug 24th at 12:26 pm
I really like this theme and I will try it, that’s for sure
Keep up the good work
Aug 24th at 12:43 pm
Hey Theme Team!
I just love it when you guys work with WooThemes to come up with amazing blog templates for WordPress.com bloggers. Here’s to hoping you would release more magazine-style themes . . . FREE!!
Thanks very much!
Cheers!
Aug 24th at 1:25 pm
Awesome when I know that free !! Thankssss…
Aug 24th at 1:58 pm
I am totally psyched about this theme! I’m already playing around with it to see what it can do.
Aug 24th at 3:23 pm
Ooooh, I like this one a lot! If I can figure out how to convert my blog to it, without losing any of my current widgets, I’ll give this one a try.
Aug 24th at 5:40 pm
Clean, simple and very cool-looking. Nice features, too. Thanks!
Aug 24th at 7:28 pm
Great theme! i would pay for it…but thanks for keeping it free!
the Bozo.
Aug 24th at 9:36 pm
Wow… I like it so much…….. I have to use it.
Aug 25th at 1:29 am
Really focuses attention on the content. I love it!
Aug 25th at 3:49 am
It reminds me of all the other ones……

Is there a way to change the fonts used in this theme without spending a dime?
Frankly, I feel the the fonts on it don’t belong there.
Aug 25th at 11:54 am
I’m afraid you need Custom Design upgrade to change the fonts on Skeptical.
Aug 25th at 7:20 am
I think, I’m a bit skeptical about Skeptical.
But it’s so simplistic I kinda like it.
Aug 25th at 7:31 am
I like this…very simple and lovely!
Aug 25th at 8:59 am
Is this for free? Wow.
Amazing job! Thank You for the theme so much. 
I think many of bloggers from WordPress.com is glad to use the theme for free. 
Aug 25th at 4:34 pm
This is a pretty nice one. I am currently using Two Thousand and Eleven.

Aug 29th at 3:00 pm
I dig it. it looks great!
Aug 29th at 9:51 pm
I find this quite easy on the eye. I know it won’t be to everyone’s taste, but hey, that’s the point of themes.
Aug 31st at 5:00 am
I love, love, LOVE this theme. Please update so that the HTML links are clearly visible – the black and grey are nearly indistinguishable at the moment!
Sep 3rd at 2:35 pm
I like it very much. Clean and simple!
Sep 3rd at 5:54 pm
A really lovely, clean, bright theme (the best yet). I agree with the last poster: please update the links, they are hardly visible at all. Thanks!
