Read WP – Minimalist WordPress Blog Theme

Read WP gives bloggers and creative publishers a restrained layout designed to keep attention on their content. The theme supports different post formats, so articles, videos, audio, and galleries can fit within one blog. Choose a sidebar layout, a no-sidebar layout, or a masonry grid to shape the way posts appear.

For creative work, the theme includes portfolio and gallery displays with AJAX-powered load-more browsing. It also supports self-hosted HTML5 audio and video, and provides widget locations in sidebars and the footer. A custom settings panel lets site owners adjust the theme’s appearance and functionality without coding.
