New Theme: Matala

Today we're excited to launch Matala, our newest theme. You might recognize this one — it was once the primary theme for ma.tt, Matt Mullenweg's blog. Last year, Matala was released to the WordPress.org Themes Directory, and now we're thrilled to bring it to WordPress.com.

The Matala Theme

Originally designed by Nicolò Volpato, Matala's bright colors and dynamic shapes are suggestive of designs seen in Talavera, a pottery tradition common in Puebla, Mexico. Grungy textures, hand-scribbled icons, and whimsically titling text in the main navigation menu join the colors and shapes to give your blog a bright, playful look.

You can use Matala's fun design as is, or create a look of your own with a custom background image and custom header image.

Matala comes with three widget-ready areas: the right-hand sidebar and two columns at the bottom of your post content column. In addition,  there is a full-width page for single-image pages, an option to display a small "Random Photos" gallery on single-image pages, and support for six post formats — aside, status, quote, video, image and gallery.
