Extended Theme Description:

Modmat is a free theme designed by Chris Chrisostomou, suitable for personal blogs or any site that wants a simple, but effective theme without the need to do any additional styling.

One of the only elements that I would change is the link/post title color, as the light purple doesn’t quite suit the theme appearance, in my opinion.

Other than that minor detail, the theme is well designed, with integrated posts and comments subscription links/images and several small features (listed below) that help make the theme a viable option for bloggers that need a simple theme.

Note: An additional image preview of the smaller post size is available for viewing on the release post.

License: The theme has been released under the GPL, so it is free to use and customize.  You are allowed to remove the footer link.

Additional Features:

  • Three column layout.
  • White and black/gray color scheme.
  • Subscription images/links to posts and comments.
  • Integrated Flickr photo stream.
  • Gravatar support.
  • Add Google AdSense code (not styled/integrated, but wide enough).
  • Tested in several popular browsers.
  • XHTML and CSS2 compliant.
  • Based on the Sandbox template.
  • Easily switch between a 775 pixel and 975 pixel width.
  • Options page for changing the header (specified or random).
