Alo Blog — a quiet theme for people who write
Summary. Alo Blog is my first free WordPress theme — a lightweight personal writing theme. Single-column reading list, right sidebar on blog and single posts, threaded comments, translation-ready and RTL-friendly. No page builder, no slider, no upsells.

What is inside
- Accessibility-first: skip link, visible focus, keyboard-operable menus, screen-reader labels
- Reader-first typography: 720px measure, 17px system-font stack, generous line-height
- Writer-friendly details: sticky featured posts, author box with avatar, tag pills, reading progress bar
- Block-ready: editor styles that match the front end, accent quote style, three starter patterns
- Privacy-respecting: zero external requests, zero tracking, zero bundled scripts
A few options, not a second dashboard
Appearance, Customize, Theme Options holds exactly four things: footer credit text, page sidebar position, excerpt length, and author box visibility. That is the whole settings surface.
