New Theme: Selecta
Today we’ve got a treat for you — a new theme called Selecta. This might be the theme you’ve been waiting for if videos or images will be the primary focus of your blog. The design, originally created by Obox Design, fuses the modern with the retro — a bold, striking color palette (in six color schemes), rounded edges, and wider-than-usual frames around content.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Selecta is loaded with elements that highlight your images and videos. First, there’s the featured slider that showcases your sticky posts at the top of the front page. Next, there’s the “Latest Posts” row that places your four most recent posts in fun, rounded boxes, also on the front page. That’s not all — if you create a post with the video or image Post Format, Selecta will display your content in a wide, one-column template on the single post view. This ensures that your images and videos receive your readers’ undivided attention. Talk about showing off!
I certainly haven’t revealed everything this theme has to offer. Click on over to the Theme Showcase to read more about Selecta and all of its great features.

A very nice theme full of new fun things. Like it.

I love the smooth look! My blog is mostly about writing, so I don’t showcase my images so much. I’ve been thinking about giving each post at least one major image, though, and this would definitely be a theme I’d look into should I do that.

Good theme, great for videos.

A beautiful feminine theme. That’s what we are looking for. Love it.
September 1st, 2011 at 2:00 am
love it! i’m using it now!! ^_^
September 1st, 2011 at 2:32 am
I like the rounded edges and how each post has its own box.
A good theme for when you don’t want your blog to look so much like a blog.

Another beautiful theme. That’s what we are looking for. Love it.

I like this theme selecta.
September 1st, 2011 at 4:09 am
I’ve been using the Choco theme since it came out, but I am tempted to switch to this new theme. I like the way it treats photographs and blockquotes.

As you know some bloggers have been looking for a theme with a slider and here they have one. This interesting and colorful theme with cool features doesn’t appeal to me but I know it will appeal to others. Thanks for ensuring we have a such a wide variety of themes to choose from.

YES! A perfect theme (or from what it seems) for my music blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
September 1st, 2011 at 4:59 am
Wow that’s so beautiful! I’m planning to start a photo blog of some sort soon, can’t wait to give this theme a try!
September 1st, 2011 at 7:27 am
A special theme. It is nice, but I do not like it.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:47 am
Currently I’m enjoying Manifest more than any other theme. I believe this theme is going to fill the needs of many bloggers out there, and yes please get us some more variety in slider themes.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:43 am
One of the best!
September 1st, 2011 at 10:07 am
Cool theme. Thanks!
September 1st, 2011 at 10:16 am
It’s really really awesome! I think that I’ll make a photolog with this template.
September 1st, 2011 at 11:04 am
Wow, it’s very nice! An ideal theme for my drawings
September 1st, 2011 at 11:15 am
Nice theme. Will give it a try.
September 1st, 2011 at 11:58 am
Kind of like this theme. Thinking of switching to it. Thanks.
September 1st, 2011 at 12:51 pm
Wow! I like the blue, and the red too!
September 1st, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Wow, too good!
September 1st, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Wonderful theme.
September 1st, 2011 at 3:15 pm
Super-interesting theme. Can the rounded edges be toggled on and off for certain posts?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Hi there. That’s not an option, however, you might be able to achieve this with the Custom Design Upgrade, using CSS.
September 1st, 2011 at 4:00 pm
Love it! Just activated it for my photo blog. Thanks so much!
September 1st, 2011 at 4:01 pm
Oh I shall keep this theme in mind as I’ll have a new photo blog up and running soon.
September 1st, 2011 at 4:55 pm
This is the theme I was waiting for since one year! Thank you!
September 1st, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Very nice!
September 1st, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Brilliant! So much so that I could not resist an immediate activation to my blog. Now to look into the nitty-gritty details…
September 1st, 2011 at 6:19 pm

Ohh it’s really nice. I don’t do photography but it’s nice and colourful.
September 3rd, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Even though it wouldn’t work with my blog, I like it! I love the color themes as well. This is so much more fun than boring white/black themes!
September 3rd, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Definitely gonna try this out on my photography site.
September 3rd, 2011 at 9:30 pm
Nice. I like it.

Wow, this is original, cutting-edge, different. I’ve been thinking about trying video blogging, and if I ever get around to it, this looks like the theme.
September 4th, 2011 at 8:29 am
Great Theme!
September 4th, 2011 at 2:04 pm
A nice theme! I’m using it now.
September 4th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Highly colourful and engaging in a way that makes people pay closer attention to a brighter message. I do hope the spirituality set will be quick to use it.
September 5th, 2011 at 3:32 am
It’s beautiful and free. Thank you very much WordPress.
I’m using it now.
September 5th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
So cute. I love it.
September 5th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
Great theme this, simplistic and functional with cool colourings, just what I need for an audio/visual blog, thank you!
Oh and love the font that has been selected, I can’t stand Ariel and the likes, ha ha

Looks good! Thumbs up for the rounded edges.
September 7th, 2011 at 6:41 am
I’m surprised that this theme isn’t premium. Love this!

Thinking about adopting this theme. I’ve been using the current one for years.

I love the colours.
September 9th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
I love the many different options for colour. Bravo!
September 10th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
This would totally work for the new blog/site I’m planning to put up, dedicated to island civics of SXM. Especially for incorporating Youtube videos about government history.
I absolutely adore the look!
September 11th, 2011 at 1:23 am
tempting me to change!! I look forward to seeing this around the bloggosphere!
