Essentials Theme

“The freedom of every artist is essential”.

A blog can be many things: a journal, an art portfolio, a window to your corner of the world… but in all cases, the central part is always the content. Essentials Theme allows a wide range of customization, but always focusing and enhancing the audience’s experience of your content. Particularly strong at showcasing photos and art, Essentials displays photosets completely in the home page, and also allows an ultra-minimalistic design so there is nothing distracting your visitors.

With almost 60 unique customization options, you can tailor this theme to fit your taste. Show your photos on the header carousel, or remove it from sight. Add a lateral menu, or hide it. You can also turn off notes, tags and customize almost all posts designs. Essentials will also support all posts types.

Essentials can also be used by Group Blogs, and includes options to list the group members, and more. All of these, with full localization support.

Features:

Completely localized theme. Display it on your language of choice.

Full support for group blogs, with dedicated features.

Easily add or hide Disqus comments for your posts.

Responsive and fluid design for a perfect visualization in all devices.

Effortlessly create a navigation menu with your tags of choice.

As Joseph Rain said, “Balance is everything and is essential to everything”.

Our lives go by in our own minds. The war is inside our heads and only we can return the peace. It is essential to remember that in one sense we are always right. If we say, we can, we can. If we say we cannot, that’s how it is, we cannot.

A villa was originally an ancient Roman upper-class country house. Since its origins in the Roman villa, the idea and function of a villa have evolved considerably. After the fall of the Roman Republic, villas became small farming compounds, which were increasingly fortified in Late Antiquity, sometimes transferred to the Church for reuse as a monastery. Then they gradually re-evolved through the Middle Ages into elegant upper-class country homes. In modern parlance, 'villa' can refer to various types and sizes of residences, ranging from the suburban "semi-detached" double villa to residences in the wildland–urban interface.
