3 Great Single Column WordPress Themes

I’ve been doing some tinkering on my site that’s caused me to search for a few single column WordPress themes that are distinct in design, yet consonant in functionality. When I began my search, I was surprised to see just how many themes are out there. It took quite a bit of time to sort through the masses and find the themes that would meet the criteria for my ‘meta’ blogs. In doing this, I’ve cataloged what I thought were the best ones, both presentation and code-wise, in an effort to maybe shorten somebody else’s search.

Kubrick on Crack!

Kubrick on Crack! — I’m note sure why the use of crack is a selling point for a theme (anything that make me paranoid and impotent, give me more of that!), but anyway. This is the favorite theme that I came across. It’s perfect for medium sized posts. The layout of the main index is colorful and presents the content well. It also utilizes the a thumbnail script, quite cleverly, to generate separate size images for both a thumbnail ‘teaser’ and featured post image. The theme was very well made and very easy to customize.

Vostok

Vostok — A fantastic theme. Perfect for my tumblr style Off The Couch microblog. The dark colors add a nice contrast to lighter content. The spacing and padding of the theme allow me to just post a Youtube video or image without the post feeling ‘empty’. I highly recommend it as a theme that puts the emphasis on media content.

Manifest

Manifest – Manifest is one of the better single column themes out there. It has a very clean presentation perfect for those who can produce a sufficient amount of content to make use of it’s generous margins. It’s design is almost understated, leaving your content to stand out even more. I’m also a big fan of its typography style. This is a good theme for text-centered content.

There are much more out there, but I found these to be the best… or at least my favorites.
