Blossom Pin Theme Review

General design

As I introduced above, this WordPress blog is reputed for having a sweet and girly style. It's light, vibrant and clear with the masonry structure and bright color. The design is also based mainly on curved lines, and sometimes it has some short straight lines to decorate, making the appearance so soft, gentle and catching.

Other elements

The white background and black texts are the safe choices to make a website site readable and bright. But the most noticeable element is the small pink highlighted parts. That's so matched with the feminine style of this theme.

In the demo, the author uses Nunito and Cormorant Garamond. They make a good combination and their curved and shapely designs also coincided with the general design.

Moreover, when you use this WordPress blog, you can change the color and typefaces to make it fit with your style.

The header is super simple. But I think its airy and well-organized design is a good idea because simpleness means cleanness and less distraction. Notably, the header switches to a sticky menu on single posts.

In the first screen area, you can add a static banner or header slider to prettify it. I think that it'll be much more attractive with a slider. This style of the carousel can allow people to contemplate up to four images at one time.

Slider

There is no other style and structure for the header, slider, archive post, but you can choose the different positions for a sidebar. On the archive page, the three-column masonry structure will change to the two-column one if you choose to show a sidebar. That wise design effectively keeps the prominence of the body content.

Responsive

Even when you use this blog on different devices or viewports, the design is still very beautiful and reasonable. You can see the responsive design I checked by ami.responsivedesign.is here.

This free WordPress theme isn't compatible with the one-click demo import. But if you already have content and data on your website, you just need some more step to completely make it look like the demo. You need to set up the sidebar, footer and install the recommended plugins to have the Newsletter and Instagram Feed. All these manipulations are very simple and easy.

Along with the common features for a blog, the author gives you more extraordinary ones like Featured Slider, Social Linking or Related Post. Especially, there are some suggested plugins from the author to help you have Instagram Feed, Email Newsletter, Advertisement and so on. That will definitely make your blog become more awesome.

There is an unlimited number of colors for you to choose from. And just by the two sections, your website can be recolored and changed considerably. If you want to take it to a new extreme, a background image can make your page much more creative.

Customizing color

It's so good to see how the typography can be modified. You can quickly find a new font in the dropdown menu here and change the font size. There are numerous standard typefaces to apply to the heading and body texts. And as you can see, the page title stays unchanged, but it doesn't bother me anyway.

Besides a slider, you can showcase a static image, or even hide it in the first screen area. As for the slider, you are given many options to customize it. If you choose the one category in the dropdown menu, it will automatically display all the posts in that category. But when selecting the latest post, you are able to manage the number of posts to show here. That maximum of the post is up to 20, quite many for you to use.

Customizing slider

The number of social icons is up to 10 and it even allows you to add any URL and any icon from the icon repository. Thereby, you can freely add any social site to connect with people.

The symbols in the Layout setting will help you visualize each layout style. But you can see that the layout is only changed depending on the position of a sidebar like the left sidebar, right sidebar or hidden sidebar. On different kinds of pages, you are able to select a different layout. All the layout can be applied properly.

Other than these vital sections, there are a lot of minor things to let you carefully restyle your website. They are also easily editable without any mistake.
