Glider is an understated theme that offers an elegant place to locate your blogs. It’s most visible feature is the wide left-hand navigation menu. The theme is simple and there should be no problems with users finding their way around your site with this theme. The fonts are very easy to read. The article text is black on white, with a grey background offering some contrast that makes words very easy on the eyes.

The Glider theme includes a gallery on the bottom of the landing page. The thumbnails are ideal for showcasing your photography, visual arts or for providing art and images from other sites. This theme provides a nice blend of personal and professional, in this regard, as the thumbnail gallery is suitable for hobby photographers or pros, with the simplicity of the theme having the potential to project an attractive corporate image for the professionals who choose it. Thumbnail resizing is fully automated, ensuring that your pictures are always resized in a way that allows them to be seen clearly while still saving on that all-important bandwidth.

The Glider theme comes with the standard package of enhancements offered by Elegant Themes. The shortcodes collection allows you to alter the layout easily and to change the way users interact with it. The ePanel provides a convenient way to change the settings on your blog without having to directly touch the code. This is an excellent feature for those who know what they want but who don’t necessarily know how to set that up from scratch.

The five color schemes provided with Glider allow you to change color and feel, with choices such as “stone” and “wooden” being examples of what’s available. Changing the color scheme most visibly changes the left navigation background. The color schemes are neutral and attractive enough to fit in with most any corporate color scheme or to offer a professional, but warm, look to a personal site.

The Glider theme is completely localized, extending the possibilities where reaching a broader audience is concerned. Support and updates are provided by Elegant Themes. This theme offers an excellent choice for those who want something professional but simple and for those who prize usability over intricate design. Advertising management is included and it makes monetizing even a personal blog a very easy affair for anyone, even if you have no programming skills.
