Dear Diary is a super simplistic theme for WordPress. It is best suited to a basic journal or diary where content is king and the theme should stay mostly out of your way.

What’s it great for?

With its ruled-notepad styling Dear Diary is perfect for a simple online journal or diary. Of course you can still posts images and videos etc, but simple text is what Dear Diary does best. You can check out a full live preview here.
