Just as the name implies, the PersonalPress theme by Elegant Themes is designed to feature your life. The theme has an innovative layout that makes your posts very visible and easy to read. It can use either this abbreviated format or, if you prefer, you can switch it over to a traditional blog layout. Either way, a broad selection of color schemes and a fun layout make this theme a good choice for personal blogs.

PersonalPress, when set up to use the abbreviated post format, places your posts within frames that look like they’re hanging from a gallery wall. These aren’t frames in the programming sense of the term but, rather, are images designed to look like picture frames. The date is bold and visible on the upper left of the frame and the text is very readable, being featured in a white background that makes the letters easy on the eyes. Thumbnails for each post can be automatically resized from the original images, providing a fast and convenient way to make your posts more visible.

While PersonalPress is designed for individual users more than corporate users, it does have the capacity to be monetized. The advertising management feature allows you to add the most common sizes of banner ads to your blog with little effort. The ePanel feature and shortcodes collection allow you to make changes to your blog with minimal risk. If you don’t like something, you can simply change it back without ever having to touch the code directly.

The PersonalPress allows you to choose between four different color schemes. The schemes change the color of the accents on the page and include blue, purple, teal and red. The PSD files for the site are included with the product. This allows you to alter any element of the theme to your liking directly in your photo editing program. The PersonalPress theme is also completely localized, making changes to other languages very easy to implement.

The PersonalPress theme also comes with support and updates by Elegant Themes. Between being easy to customize, easy to read and having powerful features like automatic thumbnail resizing, this theme is perfect for those who want a personal web presence that is easy to use but that also provides the capacity to turn your site into a another source of income via the advertising management features.
