My Pen - Minimal Blog WordPress Theme 1.0.1

My Pen (by Wedesignthemes) is a sleek, content-focused WordPress theme tailored for writers, lifestyle bloggers, and life coaches. It emphasizes a "minimalist but creative" aesthetic, balancing high-resolution imagery with clean, legible typography to ensure your stories take center stage.

Unlike "multipurpose" themes that can feel bloated, My Pen is lightweight and purpose-built for high-speed storytelling.

📊 Free vs. Commercial Version

💡 Pro Tip: Customizing Post Styles

My Pen allows you to set "Per-Post" color schemes. This means you can have a "Dark Mode" aesthetic for a serious life-coaching post and a "Bright/Airy" aesthetic for a lifestyle travel post, all within the same blog. Look for the "Pen Options" box below your post editor to toggle these settings.
