An interesting. After trying so many, I still don’t feel like I’m runny my ideal theme, I’m going to look further into these.
These themes are all new to me, so I’m happy to check these out and see if I like anything. Thank you x
These are all awesome! I super like the enfold one, super clean, love it. Thank you for sharing.
These are really pretty themes. Thanks for sharing this
I love this. I will utilize these sites for my wordpress blogs. Do you know which ones work for blogger? I’m wanting to find one that is compatible with blogger. My site is https://www.sarahafshar.com and I use blogger and godaddy.
Hi Sarah,
The themes in this blog post are all for WordPress.
However, there are Blogger Themes on Themeforest.

Sadly I’m not on WordPress but these designs look really interesting and fits different personalities. I’m sure there’s something for everyone out there.
Great themes for WordPress. I am actually looking for a theme for my blog, I haven’t yet settled on one I like. I have been trying out some free versions before I can settle and purchase one. These are very helpful.
I used the Ocean theme and I am ok with me. I check out what you recommended, especially the Newspaper one.
The ones listed are just the best sellers from Themeforest. Yes, Ocean is a quality theme. I use Elementor quite a bit and while it’s got its own minimalist “Hello” theme, I see many combining it with Ocean, Astra or GeneratePress themes.
I use one of these themes and I love it.
Great themes! I’ll consider them when I start premium in WordPress!
These look like great themes. I need a new blog theme myself this year.
