Our latest WordPress theme, Verbosa, has been available on our site for quite some time now. But since the theme review process over at WordPress.org took a little longer than expected you weren’t able to install it automatically from your dashboard, and had take a couple of extra steps with the manual install. Well, you don’t have to do that any more.
Verbosa theme is now LIVE on WordPress.org, ready to download, install, review, preview and pretty much anything else you can think of. You can find all useful links, latest news and more info about our free theme on Verbosa’s theme page.
Verbosa is a free WordPress theme mainly aimed at authors and other users that create content like writers, bloggers or photographers although, in true Cryout Creations’ spirit, the high level of customization makes it an all-round, versatile, multi-purpose theme. Go check it out!
