New Themes: Ari and San Kloud

Today, I’m excited to introduce the latest additions to our ever-growing collection of free themes.

First up is Ari—a responsive and minimal blog theme designed by Elmastudio. This theme is beautiful out of the box but it’s also packed with cool features including two color schemes, three custom color options, a custom header image, a custom background, and a custom menu. With all of these features, the Ari theme will be suitable for a wide range of blogs. Yes, for yours too! So be sure to read about it on the Theme Showcase page.

Next up is San Kloud—a bright, colorful theme with a playful feel—perfect for a tumblelog or journal. It features three color schemes, fun post format icons, and support for a custom header image and custom background. See more details on the Theme Showcase. San Kloud is designed by Theme.fm.

    I do like both themes, the Ari theme is good, it is a three column theme and it is well designed, the San Kloud theme, I think it looks best on its orange view, well both themes are too great, new themes, new inspiration, keep up the good work :D

    I have just changed the look of my blog with San Kloud. I found it the easiest one to use as regards changing the background colour. Thanks,

    I like the san Kloud , I have been watching thems for a long time and it is the 2nd one I approve , becaause it is soft
    to the eyes And the riting is easy to see , for example naerly black font on a black background would be hard to see ,
    black on white is also hard on the eyes , my first choice is andreas 4

    I like the them both but I’m gonna have to stick with my old theme. I’ll change it when I get some followers and have some posts. :)

    Like them both .. thanks for given us something new and fresh. Have tried quite few out – but so fare I will stick with “forever”. Like simple themes that don’t take to much away from the written word – and both here is just perfect. Thanks!

    Cool themes. I like Ari better because it’s more minimalist. San Kloud’s cool too. It might be better for a kid’s or a game type of blog.

    I like the way San Kloud displays all posts on the home page as distinct pages – very clear, yet a little whimsical!
