So, I was browsing around and I found this free theme, miniBlog and I was absolutely thrilled with it. Here's the link for the demo http://forthelose.org/themes/miniblog/

Why do I like it? We'll, I am truly impressed with its potential, it satisfies all the requirements I find important in a blog; It has a very clean look, with a beautiful and clean design and solid structure. Good font and colour palette choice. which makes it easy to read and pleasant to view.
But, definitely, the thing I like the most about this theme is for being customizable. I believe it does make a huge difference for bloggers and I'm very glad that the Theme Team is taking it in consideration.

Here's the link for the blog's features: http://forthelose.org/themes/miniblog/miniblog-a-premium-wordpress-theme/
And here's the link for the theme's customization options: http://forthelose.org/themes/miniblog/images/miniBlog%20Theme%20Options.png

There are also post examples in the theme's demo page.

Why would I love it to see it in WordPress? Well, besides all the remarkable things I stated above, I think this theme is also very functional and I believe it will please the users' demands and mainly boost their experience with its customization and simplicity.
