This week we launched a new theme named Martial on ThemeFurnace, it’s a clean blogging theme with a nice “Hero” header area and some custom widgets we built for the sidebar. There is an author widget which let’s you add a photo, some text and links to your social media profiles. We also added a popular / recent posts widget to let you draw visitor’s attention to your top posts.
You can download a free version from the WPLift themes section here.
