This time I’m trying the latest WordPress.com theme: Pilcrow by Automattic – Pilcrow’s 5 different layouts, with multiple sidebar configurations, four default color schemes, custom header images, and a customizable background, make personalizing your blog a snap.
It’s a home-run! The ball’s out of the field! I love you team Automattic! Of course, I’m being facetious! Why do I like this newest theme?
PROs
- Time-date stamp for single view of each blog entry.
- Templates for “Archives” and “Links”. Bigger bragging rights for blog-rollers!
- Custom menus.
- Backgrounds.
- Headers. I choose the yellow-tile pattern.
- Feature widget, like the Coraline theme.
- Five-layouts. I choose the feature-widget on the right.
- Two footer/bottom bar wide enough for longer text! Whoo! Hooo!
CONs
- I’ll get bored again, of course. It’s my mutable sign – always changing.

Other notables are:
- Blockquotes – normal font and set against light gray background.
- Caption for images spaced nicely and easy to read. But squooshed slightly to the left!
- Horizontal bar viewable.
- Links in blue color.
- Header size in darker color.
- Readable fonts.
- Sidebar element wide enough to accommodate “image widgets”.
- Footer bar, dark and unique. Captions for “image widgets” not readable.
- “Jump to comments” feature.
- Automatic width to smaller screen size! (So, I could “hide” my weblog while at work! Ssshhh!)
