  Hi, I’m starting a blog and feel like I need a recommendation on a good theme to use. It’s going to be a series of short fiction pieces that are illustrated. I won’t be blogging in the traditional sense, but posting new pieces over few weeks. I’m looking for something very very simple, one or two columns, responsive, and with the ability to add one or two other pages –an about me, a contact, and a page for the illustrator’s bios. I’ve tried the Manifest theme, but feel I want something a little different.

  Any good ideas would be much appreciated.

  Thank you. – Rob

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  The Themes Showcase has a searchbox with filters so have a good time using it to search for themes that meet your needs. http://theme.wordpress.com/

  responsive layout themes http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/search/responsive%20layout/
  2 column themes http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/two-columns/

  You can create static pages on every theme here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  I’ve just purchased the React theme, and like it, but have found that to change the font size in certain places, i need to know HTLML code. is this true?
