New Theme: Linen
Today’s latest theme is as clean and fresh as you’d expect a theme named Linen to be. It’s also an impressively adaptable theme with an array of options that make personalizing it simple and easy. If you’re publishing articles in a magazine, pages for a business site, or your own personal blog, you’ll find Linen’s elegant style perfect for you. And it’s yours for the lifetime of your blog for only $68.
The Linen Theme
Just like the other premium themes from The Theme Foundry Linen is packed with features. Linen beautifully highlights posts with featured images by sliding them across the home page. You can add thumbnails to each post and upload your own logo or custom background. You can even customize the typography with a selection of seven accent fonts and eight different body fonts!
Read more about Linen’s features on the Theme Showcase and preview it right now, live on your blog, from Appearance → Themes.

I like the lighter themes – I find you have too many dark themes. But something with a unique header space and small-print fonts are nice. Something classy.

Is there a way to see what you mean by sliding posts and thumbnails (and the different fonts) without buying this first? I have tried previewing it, but I don’t know what you mean by these terms.
