Themes Review WordPress Personal Blank - Elegant and Minimalist Wordpress Blog



Blank is an elegant, minimalistic Wordpress theme with ultra-clean design and strongly focusing on content. It’s a good choice for blogging with all standards: Responsive, Retina-ready, Translation ready, Simple, Clean and Effective. It’s also easy to setup and you can publish your content right after installing theme. No need more coding or something else.

Wordpress 3.6 ready

Blank has been updated and tested with Wordpress 3.6 and was totally compatible. It’s ready to use for all WP 3.6 features including self-hosted video.

Ultra Fast

Tested with Pingdom Tool, it loads about 2-3s. Awesome? ;) We DO NOT use any caching plugin. Why it’s so fast? Because every Javascript file is compressed and loaded only when it is needed, codes are also optimized. Test it yourself.

Seo Optimized

Blank is good for SEO by reasons:
  1. It’s light-weight and super fast. Of course, Google and your audiences like fast websites
  2. Content is always loaded first, sidebar is later.
  3. HTML5 ready, all HTML5 tags are used strictly
  4. Heading tags are used in order. H1 for post/page title. H2’s come after H1. H3’s come after H2 and so on…
  5. All images come with alt attribute.
