Lap of Luxury

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.

DePo Square

DePo Square is a beautiful, simple WordPress theme that provides Tumblr-like capacity to post photos and videos in the stream of your posts.

Designed by well-known web identity Derek Powazek, DePo Square is a minimalist-looking theme with elegant typography and effective functionality.

To use the theme ala Tumblr, you simply map your categories so as to allow you to use five pre-defined post types — Post (default), Status, Quote, Link, or Photo — and your content will be displayed in a format special to those types.

Just select your category mappings by visiting the “Current Theme Options” under “Appearance.” No CSS or other formatting is necessary.

The theme also has a neat widget space in the top header, allowing site owners to mix navigation with updates from Twitter and Flickr.
