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!

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!
Jan 13th at 1:11 am
Wow, another great theme! Keep it coming, WordPress!
Jan 13th 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?
Jan 13th 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.

Thanks for pointing this out, we will definitely keep this in mind.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th at 3:19 am
Lovely theme! I like its simplicity
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th at 6:15 am
We hear you, thank you so much for the feedback.
Jan 13th at 4:38 am
This is a great theme! Thanks for pointing this out.
Jan 13th at 4:39 am
Very fresh and clean.
Jan 13th at 4:47 am
Great post, it means we can enjoy new and fresh themes.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th at 2:24 pm
Loving all of the fantastic themes, WP! Keep up the great work!
Jan 13th at 3:05 pm
Whoa this is impressive, and it’s not even a premium theme! Nice!
Jan 13th at 3:41 pm
i like it
Jan 13th at 4:25 pm
Simple and strong. A beautiful sight! Best wishes.
Jan 13th 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.
Jan 13th at 8:25 pm
Wow, thanks! I will try it ASAP!
Jan 14th at 1:27 am
Wow, it’s very beautiful !!!!!
Jan 14th 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!
Jan 14th at 5:18 am
I love it. Got it on my blog now. Thanks!
Jan 14th at 8:10 am
Nice
Jan 14th at 9:12 am
Love the clean look of it… this a really cool theme!
Jan 14th at 10:48 am
Like this, i want to change my blog with your theme
Jan 14th 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!!
Jan 14th at 2:11 pm
love it! I love wordpress
Jan 14th 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.
Jan 14th at 5:12 pm
Very nice lovely, just, no Post Formats function?
Jan 16th at 7:40 pm
Right, at this time, Fresh & Clean does not support Post Formats.
Jan 14th 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
Jan 15th at 8:45 am
Looks very nice and elegant. More suitable for a multimedia oriented blogs
Jan 15th at 9:57 am

Jan 15th at 12:47 pm
Nice, I like this very much. WordPress themes are awesome
Jan 15th at 9:08 pm
I love it…thanks for the update.
Jan 15th 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!
Jan 15th at 9:57 pm
Wow! Good, really good.

Jan 17th at 4:37 pm
Almost tempted to switch.
Jan 18th at 6:57 am
This one’s for free, right?
Jan 19th 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.
