New Themes: Standard and Chalk
Today I’m happy to announce two great new additions to our collection of premium themes.
First, we have Standard, a sleek, exacting theme designed by 8BIT for professional blogging with an emphasis on contextual display of your content.
Your content, in each of its various forms, deserves to be presented with unique distinction. Thanks to Standard’s support of post formats, it can. Image, video, quote, status, and link posts all receive a beautiful visual treatment.
If your visitors are browsing on a mobile device or tablet, Standard has got you covered. Its responsive layout adapts gracefully to smaller screens. View it in action on the demo site, or head on over to the Theme Showcase to read more about Standard and its features.
Next, we have Chalk, an innovative theme designed with a strong focus on online educators by The Theme Foundry.
Posts containing to-do lists, chats, links, podcasts, photos, and video are beautifully styled. Chalk comes equipped with a responsive layout allowing your blog to look great on screens both large and small. A custom options screen is also provided enabling you to change colors, add social media links and much more. Want to discover more about Chalk? Head on over to the Theme Showcase and read all about it or take it for a test-spin in the demo site.

We’re so pumped! Thanks WordPress! We can’t wait to serve more publishers!

Not quite my style, but great themes! I’m sure plenty of people will want to use those. Thanks for continuing to make new themes!
Mar 22nd at 10:46 pm
thanks for the look! we appreciate WordPress and their continued support of offering the highest quality goods to their community! what fun, right?

Standard is just perfect, its a pity that it’s an expensive premium theme.
Mar 22nd at 8:49 pm
Standard is a good standard! Love its sleek, elegant design. I could see trying this one.
Mar 22nd at 10:48 pm
Sandra,
Thanks for your consideration! I love how you consistently use the same “style” of your posts, with an image left-justified and then content formatted around it.

Diggin’ the style of Standard — especially the quote post format. My blog color scheme is red/black, but I’m looking at the possibility of a daring departure — this might do it!
Mar 22nd at 10:45 pm
we’d love to have you try it out mikalee! we built it for publishers like you in mind, who love to showcase their content (in many varieties) first and foremost!
Mar 22nd at 9:12 pm
Cool themes, but they cost money, darn.
Mar 22nd at 10:44 pm
there are definitely more than just these premium options – enough to find one that might work for your needs: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/premium/
The cost covers some great features and the work (and heart) invested in them! we love what we do!

I’ve got to admit. I was really excited about the Standard theme, and then right when I was about to get it, I realized it was $69! I’m so sad now…
Mar 22nd at 9:50 pm
The adaptability feature (to a small screen) of Standard has to be a massive plus! Great layout too.
Mar 22nd at 9:53 pm
Wow, cool! The theme designs just keep improving. Thanks for your hard work!
Mar 22nd at 10:17 pm
thanks! us online educators and educators who use new technologies really appreciate something like this in order to serve diverse student needs.
Mar 22nd at 10:19 pm
Both of them interesting, but a way too expensive…
Mar 22nd at 10:42 pm
Standard is awesome!

As always your WordPress themes look great! I just wish there were more free themes that had the 2 column option similar to that of the “Duet”. premium theme By 2 columns I don’t mean widget areas but actual 2 column format option.

Chalk looks gorgeous. I wish there were other themes though that were similar to my blog (WP 2011 theme), just like one single stream of content with one simple navigational bar at the top.

I like the Chalk one, but sadly cannot afford to buy one until I get good at this. For now I’ll just stick to the free ones. Thanks for all the great ones you provide.
Mar 24th at 5:10 pm
Chalk looks pretty nice, for simple blogs.
Mar 24th at 11:22 pm
Very cool. Both are slick and nice.

Standard seems sleek and gorgeous, good work!
Chalk is fun and bright, I think I’ll try that out a few days later when I post some stuff . . .

You guys are doing an awesome job. You make blogging easy and lovable with all your creative theme work!!

I like Standard – nice, crisp, clean – Home page shows each post clearly & distinctly. For now, I’m happy with my free setup ant its features, but do I like this one, too.
Mar 25th at 6:39 pm
Wow, I thought they were free.
Mar 26th at 12:59 pm
Standard is really wonderful. If I ever made a blog more serious than my current one, I’ll definitely buy it.
Mar 26th at 2:28 pm

Oh, I love these! I am going to preview the book of alice in Chalk right now… a change might be headed my way…

Far too expensive and nothing special, thank goodness I paid for the HTML upgrade.
Mar 29th at 4:16 pm
Wow! fantastic. These themes will go a long way toward boosting the overall morale of bloggers.
Mar 29th at 9:42 pm
A 3rd Theme that I like , Because black on white is hard on the eyes also 2 pale colors !
Mar 29th at 10:25 pm
Standard is the theme I was looking for, but only if it is free. Hope WordPress would get inspiration from this theme to build their next free one.
Mar 29th at 11:12 pm
