The 100 Edublogs Themes Separated Into Categories To Make Choosing Your Next Theme Easier

Given there are 100 Edublogs themes available for you to use ranging from themes that can’t be altered to themes that are “extremely customizable” you can spend quite a bit of time testing themes to find the “perfect theme”. So I’ve decided to help make your task a bit easier (I hope) by categorizing the Edublogs themes based on:

1. Layout – number of columns
2. Color Scheme
3. Ability to upload own image header
4. Presence or absence of page links in blog header
5. Presence or absence of tagline in blog header
6. Ability to customize theme

One Column Themes

Single Column themes have a central post area with no sidebar. These theme appeal to people who like to keep their theme simple by preventing the clutter often created by sidebar widgets. All widgets are located at the bottom of the blog on one column themes.

1. 72 Classes – Minmalist white theme with black trim
2. Ambiru – light grey theme and able to upload your own custom image header (500 x 225 pixels)
3. Day Dream – offers four different headers to choose from pink with flowers, blue, grey or green leaves
4. GreenDay – Olive green theme with content located on left of page; doesn’t look anything like supplied screenshot in theme selection area
5. Roundflow – Extremely customisable theme. Able to change width of column, type of font used on blog and colors of header, background & text
6. Simplr – This theme allows you to configure some variables to suit your blog such as font size, font type
7. Striped Plus – Extremely customisable theme that allows you to change width of blog, type of font used on blog, colors of header, background & text and upload own images to use for header and background

Two Column Themes with Left Sidebar

1. Anarchy – Black theme with red headings and white text.

3. Borderline chaos – Theme has funky modern color scheme
4. Fauna – theme has a light grey background image with patterns and allows you to upload your own custom image header (780 x 200 pixels). Posts have a white background.
5. Pink Kupy – Very pretty in pink with pink patterns in the header. The post column is really narrow with the post background color of pink and the text written in darker pink.

10. WordPress Silver II – Clean white theme that allows you to customize your image header using a Flickr tag.
11. Heminway – Black theme that can be changed to white. Technically speaking it is a two column theme but is unusual in that it columns display posts and the widgets are located below like a one column theme. Didn’t partially like this theme because it displays the latest post as a partial post and you have to click on a link to read the full post.

Two column themes with left sidebar additional features:

1. Links to pages in blog header – Fauna, Suhweet, Tarskei and WordPress Silver II
2. Includes tagline in blog header – Pink Kupy, White as Milk, Suhweet, Tarskei and WordPress Silver II

Four Column Themes

1. CommentPress – Incredibly unusual blog theme. It offers two skin options:

   • CommentPress Skin – provides readers the ability to comment paragraph by paragraph in the margins of a text.
2. Fjords – Bluish grey tone theme with all four columns the same width which means that the post column is excessively narrow and not well suited to lengthy content. It does allow you to upload your own custom image header ( 900 x 200 pixels ).

FINAL THOUGHT

With 100 Edublogs themes there is a chance I accidentally made a mistake like missed your theme, got a color wrong etc. I’d really appreciate it if you could check the information I supplied for your theme and let me know if I need to make any corrections or missed a theme off the most customizable list. Would also like to hear which theme(s) you like/dislike and why.
