New Theme: Chunk
We are launching another theme for you which goes by the name of Chunk. It has a straightforward look, with bold typography and a well balanced layout. The theme also offers content variety with post formats.
A view of Chunk
Chunk was designed by Tran N. It comes with support for an optional custom header, background color, and a footer widget area that appears when you populate it with widgets. Check it out at the Theme Showcase or activate it right away in Appearance → Themes.

Wow! Yet another tumbleblog themes that’s equipped with all these posts formats: Standard, Aside, Gallery, Image, Quote, Link, Audio, Chat, Video.

I really like the simplicity of the theme itself. The footer widget area is an awesome addition!

Nice. I’ll have to use this one!
August 24th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
This is one of the rare neat and solid themes!
August 24th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Big and Bold Title and headings! Blockquotes look great. Photos are handled nicely. Clean and simple!
August 24th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
Wow… very nice. I like it.
August 24th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
The flexibility of having different post formats for different content is certainly growing on me; seems like more themes are now supporting this feature, and this is a good, simple theme to use them in.

This theme looks awesome! I just wish it had an option for a sidebar.
August 24th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
Awesome!! Might be the time of some change again.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:54 am
Yo! Another new free theme for us.
August 25th, 2011 at 1:41 am
It looks quite simple!
August 25th, 2011 at 1:51 am
Interesting, I love the boldness!
August 25th, 2011 at 4:10 am
OMG, if my husband ever starts a blog, he will have to use this theme. It is him personified (or perhaps blogified).
August 26th, 2011 at 12:05 am
Tell him to sign up and start blogging. We’d love to see that!
August 25th, 2011 at 4:36 am
Stop making good themes! I’m having nightmares trying to settle on one.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:47 am
I have activated this theme and I like it.
August 25th, 2011 at 6:05 am
The simplicity of this theme has impressed us.
August 25th, 2011 at 6:14 am
Distinctively fresh and bold theme… kudos.
August 25th, 2011 at 6:43 am
Awesome, I really love it! But would it be possible to have a side widget area please?
September 6th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
It doesn’t fit that well with the design — hence the footer widget area.
August 25th, 2011 at 6:46 am
Cool. But it’s too simple.
August 25th, 2011 at 7:23 am
Real chunk!
August 25th, 2011 at 7:46 am
A really bloggy one. 8)
August 25th, 2011 at 8:57 am
Simple, but pretty.
I like it a lot.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:28 am
I like this one.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
I love it!
August 25th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
I may be sold on finally changing themes. Been thinking about switching things up for a while and I really like the simple clean look of this one.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Great Chunk! I like its name and the great font style! Thanks!
August 25th, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Cool theme!
August 25th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
I am now using this theme!
GREAT! Thanks WordPress!
August 25th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
I LOVE this one. Very modern and solid. Seriously, I would love to see more themes like this one.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
I love love love this theme.
August 25th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Wow, nice theme!
August 25th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
A very nice and elegant theme.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Totally random,
but for some reason I thought of the character from The Goonies when I saw this theme name!
August 25th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Solid layout. Very bold, perfect for getting the point across.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
Looks a bit like Tumblr. Clean and easy on the eyes. Nice theme!
August 25th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Does it have a sidebar?
August 26th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
No sidebar, there is a footer widget area.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:36 pm
Awesome theme! Perfect for those with eye issues or just a flair for the dramatic. Thanks!
August 25th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
Wow. That is one of the most good looking WP themes I’ve seen in a while. Good job, guys!
August 26th, 2011 at 12:36 am
& …it’s FREE -sigh-!
August 26th, 2011 at 3:24 am
I love the site description on the demo site. Made me laugh
August 26th, 2011 at 10:26 am
This theme really impressed me, truly clean.
August 26th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
You say Chunk I say Choclate!
August 27th, 2011 at 4:13 am
If it weren’t for my arduous eenie-meenie-miny-moing before I decided on my current theme, I’d have snapped this theme in well, a snap! Love!
August 27th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Ι’m switched to this finally!
If it had a twitter and a rss icon on the header would be almost perfect!
And if you could add a colour change option.
August 27th, 2011 at 10:08 pm
I love the blog but I would like my widgets on the side.
August 27th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
The very first thing I thought about when I heard about this theme is the name of that weird guy kept in a basement named Chunk in the 80′s movie Goonies! hahahahaha.
August 28th, 2011 at 11:15 am
Will you release a version of this on WordPress.org Theme directory?
September 6th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Sure thing.
August 28th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
This theme is simply simple and non distractive. Bravo!
August 29th, 2011 at 6:30 am
Great theme! Is there a version for self hosted wordpress blogs?
September 6th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Hopefully it will be available for .org soon.
August 29th, 2011 at 9:55 am
I love the theme so much, I fell in love with it the moment it opened.
August 29th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Sometimes a theme just needs to be plain and bold. “Chunk” does this admirably.
August 29th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Very simple and clean. Nice job!
August 29th, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Oh I quite like this. Might take it for a spin myself.
August 30th, 2011 at 6:40 am
I love it! Take you so much I´ll use it for my portfolio
August 30th, 2011 at 9:36 am
Good theme !!
August 31st, 2011 at 7:48 pm
I love it except for the “chunk” part. Thank goodness for the custom design upgrade!
September 1st, 2011 at 9:23 am
Thank you for sharing my Tumblr theme on WordPress.com
And thank you everyone for your positive comments! Enjoy!
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:36 pm
Yep, very minimalist… I like it…
September 4th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
Thanks Tran for a great theme. Question: Can I remove the huge area where the word “CHUNK” lives on the demo page? I want to use a custom header and delete the default one above it. Thanks!
September 6th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
You can’t currently choose to hide the header text without using CSS.
September 6th, 2011 at 2:39 am
Aaaarrrgh! Why do you have to put out a theme that’s perfect for my blog except not having a sidebar? Now I’ve got a real painful decision ahead.
September 6th, 2011 at 11:26 pm
Really like the simplicity and crispness. Shame I host my own wordpress sites and can’t seem to get this one for one of those journals.
September 7th, 2011 at 3:59 pm
It will be available for self-hosted blogs too.
September 7th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
This is a wonderful theme one I have always dreamt of.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
I shall have to keep my eye out for it then. I really like this theme. Thanks, Matias.
