== Description ==

Start Blogging offers you an exceptional style that is designed for personal and business blogging websites. With clean lines, open space, and features like Unlimited Colours, you can easily personalise your website using the powerful built-in theme customizer that lets you see live results as you make changes. This theme focuses more on simplicity to ensure you can maximize what is important - creating content for your blog! To list a few of many key features, you get mobile responsive viewing that includes Responsive Font Sizing, a layout that takes advantage of the ever popular Bootstrap grid, 20 sidebar positions with dynamic sizing, a theme that is Page Builder ready, Font Awesome icons, a Banner sidebar for images or Sliders, an information page in the Admin area to give you access to setup tutorials and support, and much more. And, then there is the pro version with lots more!
