The DailyNotes WordPress Theme by ElegantThemes

DailyNotes is a theme designed for personal users that features a very casual and fun interface. Its design is more oriented toward sharing tidbits of information than extended posts, though it can be adapted to the standard blog format, if you prefer. The theme offers quite a few features that make it easy to set up and easy for anybody to administer, whether or not they have any design skills to speak of.

Tech Specs

You'll find it very easy to get going with DailyNotes. The theme is provided with an ePanel that allows you to make any changes you want to the theme. It is also provided with some advanced features that should be very useful to bloggers who like to take advantage of the fact that they can reach out to a huge audience on the Internet. For example, the localization feature allows you to translate all of your posts and the theme's text so that you can reach an audience that speaks a language other than your own.

The small format for the posts also allows you to display images very easily. The thumbnail resizing feature included with the theme makes this very simple to take advantage of. You simply upload one copy of the image that you want to feature on your site and the theme automatically resizes it for you so they can be included in your posts at any size without you having to do that work on a photo editing program. This can save a tremendous amount of time that would normally be spent on this tedious web administration task.

Look and Feel

Tumbler-style posts are supported by this theme, and the small and efficient format allows you to share information easily and in a way that is inviting for people who don't like to read long, drawn-out blog posts. As the name implies, DailyNotes is an excellent format for featuring short updates and engaging in a sort of Internet scrapbooking that has become very popular in recent years. If you want to format your interior pages in a different way, you will find a collection of page templates included with the theme that allow you to do so. You will also find a collection of shortcodes that make it easy to make layout changes to the theme without having to redesign anything.

For a blogger that wants to add a lot of personal information online, this is a great choice. It will display correctly in any browser and is fully compatible with the WordPress 3.0 platform. There are four color schemes that you can choose from, allowing you a lot of flexibility in setting up the look and feel of the site and the design doesn't make use of tables, so you can be certain that it will always be fluid and that it can accommodate any browser size.

The theme is able to accommodate advertisements, however, so if monetizing your blog is something you are interested in, this theme will also prove suitable for that enterprise.
