8 Best Personal Blog WordPress Themes for 2021 and Beyond

I’m adding a compilation of best personal blog WordPress themes with their individual details in brief.

So if you were looking to start your own website where you can tell your story about your life along with details of kind of professional you’re in then you just need a website driven by WordPress which is further masked by personal blog theme.

To begin with, you need to be aware of certain facts. You can off course skip these parts if you’re known webmaster or aware of all the facts about internet marketing, particularly WordPress. For all others, it is recommended to pay attention to what I’m coming at.

Facts to be taken care of

I had covered in past, the things you need to consider checking before buying a premium theme but still there are certain additional things as per this unique requirement.

The theme you’re looking for must have a simple layout focusing mainly on the readability you’ll publish over there. If the focus is anywhere else then this isn’t going to bring the kind of readability you’re expecting.

Always look for themes with bright colors as for professional first impression, since dark theme won’t bring the kind of sense you’re thinking to generate unless you’re a gamer blogger.

In short, look for professional, simple looking theme with bright color layout and background. Don’t opt for heavy themes at all since readers may get annoyed with long page load time.

Let’s start with the themes now. I hope you’ve noted down the important points I’ve mentioned above. Fortunately, there are plenty of options available in this niche.
