Sometimes less is more and for regular internet users who consume so much information on a daily basis, clear and concise language is appreciated.
Micro blogging has risen drastically in popularity in the past 5 years. There is still a place for long, detailed and informative blog posts however micro blogging offers the chance to provide information in just a few lines. Twitter is obviously one of the main micro blogging platforms on the internet at present and there are quite a few micro blogging WordPress themes that offer their own designs and methods of putting information into the public domain.
Indeed, there has been a rise in the number of niche micro blogging sites as of late. Rather than general ‘talk about anything’ platforms like Twitter, some people want to narrow down their audience and appeal to those in one particular niche. This is why we have compiled a list of effective micro blogging WordPress themes.
The emphasis in an effective micro blogging WordPress theme is on the blog posts themselves. So it needs to be a theme that relies on content rather than aesthetics. While a good, clean and minimalist design is fundamental to the site the real draw for visitors will be in the content that is published.
Also, many micro blogging sites can now incorporate video, pictures and audio into their updates. This provides a whole new level of interactivity between users and allows updates and posts to come to life.
Finally an effective micro blogging theme for WordPress should be able to respond to mobile devices. Most new themes these days come with responsive features and the template can adjust itself if viewed on a mobile or tablet device for example. To reach as much of an audience as possible then responsive designs are a must.
Micro blogging is the new way in which people are conversing, breaking news and providing information on the internet. The themes that are in this list are specifically designed for micro blogging and come with a variety of features and designs for sites who treasure simplicity and succinct information.
Enjoy!
