I’m happy to share that the Chronicle Journal theme demo site is now live at chronicle-journal.rollybueno.com.

Chronicle Journal is a modern, editorial-style WordPress theme built for writers, storytellers, and publishers who want a timeless and focused reading experience. It’s designed around clean typography, balanced layouts, and subtle spacing that lets your words take the spotlight.

You can now:

About the Chronicle Journal

Chronicle Journal was designed for readability and structure — the kind of theme that feels right at home with essays, feature articles, and journal-style posts. Every element is intentional, from font pairing to line height, ensuring each paragraph is easy on the eyes.

It takes advantage of WordPress’s Full Site Editing (FSE) features, allowing you to customize templates, adjust layouts, and design pages directly in the Site Editor without touching code. The theme also includes clean editor styles, so what you see while writing closely matches what appears on the front end.

So.. What You’ll Find in the Demo

The demo site highlights how Chronicle Journal handles a variety of post formats — long-form articles, image-heavy layouts, and editorial-style homepages. You can browse through sample posts to see how typography, headings, and spacing come together in real-world context.

It’s a simple showcase, but it reflects the heart of the theme: clarity, consistency, and content first.

Download and Explore

Chronicle Journal is now available for free on WordPress.org.
You can install it directly from your WordPress dashboard by searching for “Chronicle Journal,” or download it from the theme directory.
