LightBright from Elegant Themes emphasizes color and function. Provided with a dramatic background that draws the user in, it also has great readability. This theme is suitable for general blogging, including blogging images and video. This theme is flexible and powerful enough to keep advanced users happy, but has enough features that simplify the process of blog administration that new users should find it intuitive.

LightBright shows off any of the four color schemes available by making the entire background a gradient of that chosen scheme. The sidebars are also colored, with slightly lighter versions of the dominant color being used for the text links and other widgets. Despite this, the blog is surprisingly readable around the margins. The abbreviated theme helps to set the posts apart.

With easy integration of pictures, video and other media, the LightBright theme is ideal for those who like to offer a lot of variety on their site. The tumblr-style posts make it easy to share your posts with your friends, and for your visitors to share them with their friends, as well. This enhances the networking features of this site, making it a good choice for the social blogger.

Thumbnails can be resized automatically. This allows them to be shown off within the posts without eating up bandwidth. The advertising management feature allows you to add pay-per-click or other ads to your site without fighting with formatting or placement. The sidebars are widget-ready, offering another way to make sure that your blog has the right look and feel, as well as functionality, for your users.

If you need to change some of the functions of elements of the layout on LightBright, Elegant Themes provides the ePanel and shortcodes features. You won’t have to dig through any code to make the most common changes to your site. This also makes it easier to revert to the way the site looked prior to the changes if you find that they didn’t provide what you wanted.

Localization is included with this theme, making it easy to reach a larger audience. The LightBright theme also comes with support and updates from Elegant Themes. This theme is eye-catching enough for very cutting-edge sites, but the different colors allow for a more conservative look, if you prefer. Elegant green and black options give a serious look, while purple and turquoise provide a lighter, more fun-loving web presence.
