Today, we’d like you to meet the two newest themes added to the WordPress.com collection: Ecto and Coherent.

Ecto

With a light color scheme, bold typography, and full-width images that draw readers straight to your content, Ecto is perfect for blogs of all kinds.

Inspired by the Casper theme, Ecto lets you add a personal touch to posts and pages with large featured images in the header area. Ecto also includes these features:

• Social Links Menu
• Featured Images
• Site Logo
• Post Formats
• Custom Menus
• Widgets
• Custom Background and Custom Header

Read more about Ecto on the Theme Showcase, or activate it on your site from Appearance → Themes!

Coherent

Meet Coherent, a simple theme with a robust structure. An optional full-screen featured image lets you give posts visual impact; without one, the theme is more subtle and keeps the focus on your words. An elegant sliding panel houses navigation, social links, and widgets, keeping things streamlined.

Coherent supports:

• Social Links Menu
• Featured Images
• Site Logo
• Aside Post Format
• Custom Menus
• Widgets
• Custom Background and Custom Header
