Lap of Luxury is a stylish two-column WordPress blogging theme with a bit of bling courtesy of its gold logo.
I’m not a fan of the spotty background, which makes reading a little harder than it should be, but it would be extremely simple to change the background to a flat colour, which would make the text very legible.
The right-hand sidebar allows for an ad at the top, with two columns of navigation below that.
The headlines are big and eye-catching, and the theme works very well with large photos used to accompany each post.
