New Theme: Fresh & Clean
Today we’ve got a new theme for you that is so fresh and clean that it’s called…Fresh & Clean. Designed by AJ Clarke, Fresh & Clean is a responsive, spick-and-span theme that lets you put your best content forward with minimal frills.
Fresh & Clean utilizes Featured Images to help you to easily transform your blog into a stylish online portfolio. There’s a featured slider on the front page that highlights Sticky Posts that have large Featured Images. All other Featured Images appear as prominent thumbnails next to their respective posts.
Not looking to build an online portfolio at this time? No problem, Fresh & Clean is great as an all-purpose blogging theme! Take a moment to read more about Fresh & Clean and its features on the Theme Showcase.

Hooray! Two new themes to play with this weekend.
I really like the featured posts appearance of this one and I also like the font. Hmmm … I’m off to play again. Have a great weekend Theme Team.

I am so impressed by your team’s ability to constantly create new, cool themes. Thank you!
January 13th, 2012 at 1:06 am
This is a very nice theme. There are so many new ones y’all are coming out with that are great. It’s hard to choose!
January 13th, 2012 at 1:11 am
Wow, another great theme! Keep it coming, WordPress!
January 13th, 2012 at 1:21 am
Whoa! Nice theme…. I could put up a new, NEWS blog with this. Is it included in the theme line up in wordpress.com blogs?
January 13th, 2012 at 1:46 am
Yes, you can activate Fresh & Clean on your WordPress.com blog today under Appearance → Themes in your Dashboard. Enjoy.

Love the simplicity and elegance of this one! One trend I’ve found is that most of the clean and simple themes don’t have bottom widgets (like Clean Home, Oulipio, and others). I would love to see more clean and simple themes with bottom widgets! I know there are a few that do have them like Chateau but then there’s some little problem like the column width! Thanks for considering this. I appreciate all the themes you are rolling out to us in such a consistent fashion.
January 13th, 2012 at 2:31 am
Thanks for pointing this out, we will definitely keep this in mind.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:05 am
Love it! I’ve already activated it and am so happy with the look. It’s what I’ve been trying to find for some time.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:19 am
Lovely theme! I like its simplicity
January 13th, 2012 at 3:30 am
I’m taking it for a spin! Thanks!

I love that you guys keep rolling out these new themes and they’re all really really cool, but there have been quite a few minimalist themes in a row now. Would love to see a fun quirky theme for those of us weirdos to whom “minimalist” is a scary word.
January 13th, 2012 at 6:15 am
We hear you, thank you so much for the feedback.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:38 am
This is a great theme! Thanks for pointing this out.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:39 am
Very fresh and clean.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:47 am
Great post, it means we can enjoy new and fresh themes.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:56 am
This is a gorgeous theme and I’ve just activated it for my writing blog. It displays the text and images beautifully and so clearly. Well done.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:42 am
I love the way you are dedicated. If we all had such dedication in all our endeavors. Keep it up, WordPress crew.
January 13th, 2012 at 6:46 am
Really like this one, although it looks like the premium theme I’d bought (Delicious Magazine), which bums me out a bit as it sucks to have paid for a design that is similar to a free one. Will keep this one in mind as a theme backup/alternative.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:29 am
I ilke it, I’ve been swapping and changing for a few days, trying to find a clean cut theme, might try this later. Thanks very much.
January 13th, 2012 at 11:20 am
I’ve been quite happy with 2011 for sometime now, but Fresh & Clean looks good enough to make me want to switch.
January 13th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
I do like this theme, I’m counting the days for the super duper wuper WP Theme Twenty Twelve! Keep up the good work, I’m proud for being a WordPress Enthusiast and Blogger too.
January 13th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Just when I thought the Forever theme you released yesterday was just what I was looking for, this comes and trumps it.
January 13th, 2012 at 2:24 pm
Loving all of the fantastic themes, WP! Keep up the great work!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Whoa this is impressive, and it’s not even a premium theme! Nice!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
i like it
January 13th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Simple and strong. A beautiful sight! Best wishes.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
I went straight to the Theme Showcase and to much surprise NO “Premium!” I still cannot believe it. The fonts and readability are great. Thank You all.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Wow, thanks! I will try it ASAP!
January 14th, 2012 at 1:27 am
Wow, it’s very beautiful !!!!!
January 14th, 2012 at 2:27 am
I’m using the theme now!! I love love love it! It’s so clean and minimal but with just enough detail to showcase my posts. I love the idea of the featured photos too that appear next to the posts. Thanks!
January 14th, 2012 at 5:18 am
I love it. Got it on my blog now. Thanks!
January 14th, 2012 at 8:10 am
Nice
January 14th, 2012 at 9:12 am
Love the clean look of it… this a really cool theme!
January 14th, 2012 at 10:48 am
Like this, i want to change my blog with your theme
January 14th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
absolutely love this – it’s intuitive, clean, orderly and so very visitor-friendly. I’ve just changed my blog over to it, after plodding along with a heavy $70 theme. This theme slips on and over content in the most beautiful way. Thank you!!
January 14th, 2012 at 2:11 pm
love it! I love wordpress
January 14th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
I absolutely love this fresh theme! It is what I have been looking for, though it’s too bad it does not show full blogposts on the homepage.
January 14th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
Very nice lovely, just, no Post Formats function?
January 16th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Right, at this time, Fresh & Clean does not support Post Formats.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
This is a lovely theme – thank you. I’ve just implemented it as I was looking for something “Fresh & Clean” ahead of Spring! Great timing
January 15th, 2012 at 8:45 am
Looks very nice and elegant. More suitable for a multimedia oriented blogs
January 15th, 2012 at 9:57 am

January 15th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
Nice, I like this very much. WordPress themes are awesome
January 15th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
I love it…thanks for the update.
January 15th, 2012 at 9:15 pm
Fresh & Clean looks like a fantastic theme. I so adore the WordPress team’s ability to constantly develop high-quality themes in such short succession. Keep up the great work!
January 15th, 2012 at 9:57 pm

January 17th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Almost tempted to switch.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:57 am
This one’s for free, right?
January 19th, 2012 at 4:06 am
That’s right, Fresh & Clean is a free theme.

I love your themes!! When I am updating my blog I have a hard time deciding which theme to use!
I am wondering if you have any “sports” themes. LIke maybe a theme with running shoes on it or something! That would be cool for those of us who like to blog about running!!

Beautiful theme, but it would be even nicer to see a full post option, not just the mandatory Excerpts format.
