I’ve been a WordPress fan since 2015. I have two WP.com blogs. One is for poetry, which is simple with a black background (I love black backgrounds because it adds appeal to certain types of literary works.)

I have another blog, where I run a weekly prompt. Once weekly prompt posts gain momentum, the blog host has to find ways to maintain and hold their participants. This is where a theme with a few extras wins the blogger’s attention.

I’ve tried many of the WP.com Premium themes and finally found one that addresses pingbacks and actually lists them all in one area. I love this feature because I can avoid using Mr. Linky to present a wrap-up post to my participants. Yes, I feel locked into this theme and hope it continues to be updated (Opti). I miss some of the themes that were not updated because they were unique by design. Thank you for all you do WordPress.
