  Please suggest me best themes to run a collective blog (a multi-author blog) that showcases authors in a unique way. It’d be better if the theme is responsive.

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

  A quick update to add that I do not want help for the blog linked above. This enquiry is related to a blog that’s just an idea at the moment :)

  Hi there,

  You don’t really need to choose your theme based on whether it was created for multiple authors or not, as all WordPress.com themes include support for multiple contributors. There are also two widgets (Author Grid and Authors) you can use to further highlight the work of separate authors on your site.

  My recommendation is to start at the link below to find a responsive theme you like that has prominent widget areas.

  I hope that helps!

  Hi. Thanx for the reply but I am specifically looking for themes that display ‘about author’ section under the post. There are a few with this feature and I I tried some of them but they are all old themes. :(

  I’ve done some research on this and found a couple more themes that might work. Let me know if any of them strike your fancy.

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/responsive/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/themorningafter/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyfifteen/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/imbalance2/

  These are all free themes. If you are interested in premium themes as well, let me know and I’ll send you some additional options.

  :) Thanx. So far I’ve tried almost each available theme to check whether it shows ‘about author’ widget at the end of the post and I’ve settled for ‘Magnate Express’.

  IMO, this is an important feature for blogs with multiple authors and it should be available/optional in most themes, whereas it’s there in only a few themes. Please pass this suggestion on to the themes department.

  I’ll pass your recommendation along.
