<p>NewBlue dominated the final voting round, and since a lot of our staff voted for it too, it was a clear winner.</p>
<p><a title="BlogDesignStudio" href="http://blogdesignstudio.com" target="_blank">BlogDesignStudio</a> described this amazing theme as &#8220;simple&#8221;, and we all agreed that this is why it was such a popular choice &#8211; easy to use, easy to view, and easy to enjoy! This theme is sleek, a little bit techie, and very concise.</p>
