We’ve added a user showcase where you can view stunning customizations made by people just like you. From complete redesigns with CSS to adding pizzazz with Custom Fonts to clever use of options like background and header, this showcase will spark your imagination and inspire creativity.
Discover details about what each showcase blog is doing with WordPress.com themes and customizations by clicking a thumbnail to see a colophon-style list of credits on the left.
We’ve also updated footer links so blog owners can show off the types of customizations they’ve made and visitors can learn more by clicking the “Customized” link in WordPress.com footers. A “Customized” link will appear next to the theme name for blogs that are using Custom Design tools like fonts or CSS.
Things we like to see when looking for showcase-worthy customizations are blogs with good traffic, beautiful design, well-written articles or stunning images, recent content updates, and involvement helping out in our CSS Customization forum.
Be inspired, customize your blog and make it that perfect place for your creations.

Ditto on the gorgeous! Absolutely phenomenal!
Very cool! I love to see the creative custom changes people make to their blogs. I’ll enjoy this.
Oh wow..those ARE lovely, each of them looks so fun and creative..deciding if I want to go back and pick out a couple to visit for a closer looksy 🙂

Creativity unlimited! I use and greatly appreciate Custom Fonts.
Amazing!
I love this feature since I am always looking for ways to “freshen up” my blog! Thanks WordPress!
Is very nice!
Great idea! I’m always looking for new and different ways to improve my blog.
Love this….you’ve hooked me….Now to try to make this happen in my little WordPress corner of the WP World. Thanks WP!!!
This is great! So many beautiful blogs out there. How can I put my blog on this showcase?
There isn’t a way for you to add your blog directly. Blogs are picked based on a number of factors including things like good traffic, beautiful design, well-written articles or stunning images, recent content updates, and involvement helping out in our CSS Customization forum.
Like they used to say, you could get (the first mass-produced car, the Ford Model T) in any color as long as it was black. That was a plenty good start, but we’re even more glad that they didn’t stop there! Well, except maybe for the Secret Service, but who’d want to keep their blog a secret?
Very nice, I’m a sucker for exceptionally creative fonts; these blogs really do inspire.
Some real awesome themes….Have a great day on purpose!
Erm….I noticed that my site wasn’t listed….was this an oversight : ))
Your blog looks great! However, not every blog will be included in the showcase. 🙂
So Many options ! wow!
Inspiring – WordPress you never fail to further impress!
Outstanding, I’m always looking for new things.
Very cool shares. Thanks!
Very interesting and creative!
Sheri, Sheri, quite contrary, I’m going to use these tips to make shaferpower.com look just scary!
Sorry. It’s getting late. Time for bed. Thank you Sheri for the insight 🙂
Nice example(s) to start patterning over!
Real help for starters like me… Thank you…
Nice!
It’s very good.
WordPress inspires me in all ways!!!!
Thanks.
Very gorgeous and elegant! Thank you for all that!!!
Great blog design, and prove that the theme is not the most important factor making a blog, add your own style, write about interesting things you know well and use 2 hour more research on your post before posting. But when it come down to it, content is king. Looks awesome. Con grat. Kenneth
Awsome customs
Oh my.. that blog was made with the default Twenty Eleven?! Unbelievable, so cool!
It is so nice and eye catching.
Great ideas.
Nice designs… refreshing.
Awesome.
It’s the real deal.
This was very good.
Thanks
Love the new features…
amazing at all
Some really nice ideas there. I just started my blog, but I hope to be able to make it look at least half as nice as some of those!
Love your site and great tips. I’m new to blogging and find this most enjoyable and easy!
Very cool shares. Thanks!
This is brilliant bar one thing – would it not be a good idea to say beneath each which theme it is? Please do that, it would be so helpful! 🙂
We’ll look into it. Thanks for the feedback!
I have one quick update: we are planning to add filters to the sidebar so you will be able to filter by theme. We’ll also see if we can find a way to note the theme name in the showcase grid somehow too if we can.
It’s interesting to see the blogs.
@sheri – sounds great. Thanks. 🙂
very nice indeed
Great idea! I’m always lookingfor new and different ways to improve my blog.
Any chance WP gives away fonts for free for deserving bloggers (you know, like a scholarship) 😉 ?
We don’t have any scholarship options for fonts at this time.
Gave me huge inspiration for my blog, thank you very much x
Awesome! At least some of customized themes are free!
Love you WordPress…..
Amazing. This is the dream I will be chasing for my own blog one day!!!
Great!!!
Love! Working on some of my own as well ❤ Love seeing other artists in action.
Hi
Really nice collection of stunning presentations – I am investigating new themes for my Photoblog and have found some really great ones with WordPress! Thanks for sharing!
Erik
Very Nice ….
Very gorgeous!
Looks really nice. Congrats…
I really enjoyed this! How exactly did you choose the blogs you featured? Mine isn’t totally -amazing- as I don’t have even a basic understanding of CSS or HTML or anything, but I’d at least like to be in the running lmao. 🙂
The blogs in the showcase are ones that have crossed our path while reviewing popular sites or by involvement helping out in our CSS Customization forum. Not every blog we find will be included in the showcase, but we love seeing everyone continue to work on site customizations!
