Blogitty – Premium Magazine/Blog/Business Theme

May 18, 2011 | Blog / Magazine, Business, Creative, Personal, Picks

Blogitty – Premium Magazine/Blog/Business Theme is a new, modern and elegant theme suitable for any Blog, Magazine, Business or Personal site and comes with several skins to choose from.

Our 2 cents:
Had a good look through this theme, and must say it is very appealing, straight forward and unassuming. If you know nothing about WordPress and have been afraid to try it out, this is a great theme for you. It is very versatile. Everything you could think of to change, they have made possible and simple. The portfolio page, I admit, is not the most glamorous when you get there, but click on a photo and arrow left or right and it becomes a lot better. Nobody’s perfect right!?
If you are looking for a new face for your blog, do yourself a favor, take some time and walk yourself around this one.
