Hi There,
Great collection. I need a simple theme for my new blog which WordPress theme you would prefer? I’m not an expert in this subject. Can you help me out? Suggest me a theme which suits for a technical blog.
Hi Abdilash,
that’s a hard question which relies very much on taste…
I’ll give it a shot for you:

for a tech blog: https://wplift.com/go/elegantextra
Good luck!
Awesome cool designs for WordPress lovers!! Google’s material design has given a lot of inspiration for newbie designers.
Best of Minimalism after Minimaluminism and Naut. Nice! I like it!
I am yet to come across a collection like that. Material design aims to bring more consistency in the multi-device environment we are increasingly adapting to. Considering that Google now has a presence on almost all these platforms it was very crucial for them to come up with something like this so that the experience is not just beautiful but also predictable and effective. It’s really unfortunate that some developers/designers quickly skim through and just decide that it’s a copy of Microsoft’s Metro UI.
