Micro.blog Themes Designed for Simplicity

I design Micro.blog themes like Tiny, Sumo, and Bayou to be fast, simple, and easy to use. Each theme is built with care to help people share writing, photos, and ideas — without getting bogged down in technical details. Whether you’re new to blogging or have been publishing for years, my goal is to provide tools that are lightweight, flexible, and approachable.

All of these themes are free to install and customize — by design. I believe good design should be available to everyone, not just those with big budgets or coding skills. You shouldn’t have to compromise on quality just because you’re running a small site or personal blog.

Support the Work

If one of my themes or other projects has helped you, there are a few ways you can support the ongoing work:

Supporters also get access to a custom GPT assistant designed to help troubleshoot and customize these themes — like having direct support on demand.

A Personal Project

These themes aren’t backed by Micro.blog or any company. I’m not on a payroll or part of a team. I’m just a regular user who cares about thoughtful design and the open web.

I created these themes because I needed them for my own site — and I continue maintaining them because others find them useful too.

Theme maintenance takes time:

  • Testing updates when Micro.blog changes
  • Fixing bugs and refining features
  • Writing clean, accessible code
  • Helping users customize their setup

Every bit of support helps offset that time and keeps these themes well-supported, fast, and free for everyone.

Thanks for using them — and for being part of a community that values simplicity, independence, and good design.
