Today we are introducing a clean and minimalist theme, Blogum.
Designed by WPShower, Blogum has a grid-based layout and is designed in a modern style. This very clean style allows your reader to precisely focus on your content.
Blogum has a widget area in the right sidebar. It also includes a full-width template to hide the sidebar. You are able to customize even more with a header image, background, and custom menu.
Blogum also supports three post formats, Aside, Image, and Gallery. Read all about Blogum’s features on the Theme Showcase.

Nice and tidy!
I already got my favourite theme :D. Such themes are simple and offer a good overview, but I like more colours, more functions and things to change, how I am like them! 😉
Cool, welcome Blogum. You are so fresh and clean. I highly appreciate the Theme Team, you guys make it difficult to chose which theme to use. hehehe
It’s a good problem to have 🙂 I’m glad you liked it.
The beauty of simple! Perharps I should try this theme
Very nice. Cleanliness personified.
Again, this one also is great… Good work!
A very nice clean theme, though the type seems a bit small. I prefer more color, which is why I use Choco!
Sleek and clean, I like this.
Very clean and modern. Very cool.
nice one , tidy , calm and elegant
you have a good taste
i like it
Probably going to try this. Love it over all, but that Heading Six feature really nails it. Looks like just what I’ve always wanted for pull quotes.
Hmm, I like that the columns aren’t in a normal pattern
Oh that is nice and tidy 🙂
Neat. I liked it from the very beginning. The option I lacked earlier was thet the photos I add are the same width each. This makes it even more tidy and well-organised. I’ll sure be using it for a looooooong time. Thanks for it. It’s exactly what I needed.
You are more than welcome!! I’m glad you like the theme!
I like it, I might switch when I get bored with this layout.
Cool, a new theme each day. That’s a win!
Just the theme I have been waiting for, and I have tried many. Simple, clean lines, and best of all it didn’t delete all my post photos; I have many photos and to lose them in the changeover would have been a nightmare. Therefore, smooth transition for me and I love the modern-look cloud widgets!
Perfect for a site owner
Cool theme!
sweet! it’s free.
that’s always a plus.
I love you, WordPress, but it took you guys long enough to publish some good minimalist themese. THANK YOU.
I’m a fan of minimalist themes and this one is very appealing. It also has some nice features as well that are very useful. I like the a nice styling feature for Heading Six. Thanks for introducing it.
You are very welcome and thank you for your help in the forum!! I’m also a big fan of minimal theme and this is a neat and timeless one.
I like it but I think I’ll stick to my current theme. Thanks for coming up with new themes 🙂
Crisp and clean theme…very nice.
Nice and clean. Keep up the great work!
Simple and clean. But I prefer Chateau. 🙂
Beautiful layout. Good job!
Thank you WordPress for all the minimalist themes.
I personally like this theme. With a white background it is clean and simple. I think it is important that a site isn’t too cluttered and places emphasis on the content.
Nice theme.
Very nice! I’ll use it.
I always appreciate the team for releasing new themes. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Clean and organised. Reminds me of laundry starch in a good way 🙂
wow – another free theme. Look like wordpress.com like to introduce free/paid theme alternately…
The theme is clean and very nice. I would like a background color in the header though 🙂
Thanks for this new theme. I like its name. 🙂
Image-wise this is one very well-behaved theme!
Well done 🙂
WPShower is very elegant, I love all of their themes, blogum included, simple for a not so troubling blogging experience.
Cheers 🙂
I agree. Many themes from WPShower are under our rader and hopefully to be available on WP.com soon!
Love the look of this clean & simple but intelligent. I am on Coraline just now. Is it easy to switch? Should I take it off line to do so?
simple and nice ❤ I like it
How interesting theme is.So cool!
Very nice !!
Like a superb stage for the coolest ballet 🙂
What a clean theme! Nice work…
These days, there are a lot of better themas for almost every weeks and always change my theme and confused which one I should choose.. Can you stop creating new please? 😛 Thanks for amazing theme WordPress !
Warning! More and more themes to come 😀 It’s a good problem to have 🙂 I hope Blogum suits your blog. Thanks!
Nice work ! Nice theme !
Nice theme!
This is the kind of theme that I like: clean, minimalistic and stylish.
I like the tag feature!
Good job!
I am going to try it
Nice one, Takashi – the first theme I thought about switching to in a while. The font integrates nicely.
Instead of a white background, I wonder how a light grey would look?
Thanks, John. You can change the background color in Appearance → Background. Go ahead and try to see if Blogum suits you 🙂
Very nice! Every time WordPress comes out with a new theme, it’s like getting an early Christmas present. 🙂
Good .. worth trying
Minimalist, simple yet formal. Allows the reader to concentrate on every entry a blogger posts… 🙂
Great new theme! I love how the font is bold! Easier for me to see! 🙂
Absolutely love the possibility to use marginalia with . Any change this feature will be available in older themes? Like “Manifest”, for example?
I like this theme – very simple and classic! 🙂
Nice and clean! Now, what to do with it? -John
Nice work, once again! Great layout and easy to read posts. 🙂
Nice Theme…. thanks..
Good job 😀 It’s pretty.
Thank you,
Theme Team for introducing this new minimalist and clean theme! Might consider it in the future. Keep them coming!
Cheers!
Admittedly, I’ve been very frustrated with the latest WP themes, however this one is just lovely. I’m not going to switch because I’m in love with my current layout, however much kudos to the designer here, and kudos to you, WP! I agree with several others above me in that I appreciate your minimalist themes… I feel that what would be uber helpful at this point is more customization for each individual existing theme…but I’m getting away from my compliment here – good job!
That does look very nice indeed.
Nice Theme!!!
Looks classy and clean! 🙂
Totally awesome!
This theme looks great indeed. I am sure people will be able to use it to enhance the creativity in the blogs.
This is nice. The uncluttered look of each page does make your text stand out more.
Nice! Everything looks really compact. Nice work.
Nice I guess, but I think there are several quite similar “whiteandblack” themes out there already. Good with so many new themes though!
I love this theme; I’m using it right now, and it’s already one of my favorites! 😀
Nice, but I really wish you had a nice theme with drop-down category boxes at the top as well as a custom header — I seem to have to select one or the other!
Cool theme. I will switch to this theme on next month.
Wow..cool. I love it
Love it! :0)
Thanks you guys!
Very clean. I might try it!
Clean, crisp, and nice theme!!!
A nice addition to your line up.
Very nice but I like more colours and more functions. Your idea is welcome.
Really clean, I may try it when I get home and have some time to play.
Very nice and clean. I like it!!
Nice! Good job!
Crisp as a winter’s day.
Another clean style WordPress theme, excellent, it is like Twenty Ten / Eleven, simple, clean and functional. 😀
Nice and simple. Great.
Really ready to change themes. This one could be It!
The simpler, the better.
Blogum??? Hemm, it’s nice to try!!!
Nice theme.
Cool! I might choose this for my site. New WordPress theme, more to come!
Really great theme, nice and simple … congrats on being showcased for WP.com
Very fresh yet light. Nice one!
Very good. I like it!
Sorry I just realised the pages appear at the top instead… guess not! Thanks though for this briliant, clean site.
