Meet Myrtle. It’s the first Wordpress theme we’ve at Fletcher/Giglio developed since our launch, and it’s completely free to download and use on your own Wordpress site.

Simplicity and flexibility is key in Myrtle. We designed the theme to be fast, readable and eminently usable. Myrtle goes beyond a blogging platform to become basic content management system, giving bloggers a way to easily feature content on the home page. Want something in the featured box at the top? Simple - add it to the “featured” category. Have a popular post you want spotlighted? The three most recent posts in the “popular” category are always on the bottom of your home page. And you can include as many recent posts as you like in between. Plus, the sidebar at the top is widgetized, giving you added flexibility.
