Una is Dino Latoga’s first free public release WordPress theme. It is a fantastic new 2 column theme which is divided to give the sidebar a lot more room for you to use. It’s a great looking theme and the proportions of this theme make it a nice theme to view on a widescreen monitor.
The front page shows the latest post with an accompanying large graphic image which helps attract readers more than the usual large text titles. Below the latest post is a list of the 3 other recent posts with each post accompanied by a thumbnail image. Also, the comments and trackbacks are divided to produce a clean and organized look.
According to Dino; “this theme was inspired by a lot of great blogs out there like Web Designer Wall, Matt Brett, Avalonstar and 5 Thirty One to mention a few “.
