Blaskan Theme Demo

The homepage in Blaskan uses a single column flow for the primary content area with an optional sidebar. Posts display as stacked entries with clear typographic hierarchy: the post title in the display serif, a compact byline, a measured excerpt, and a category label. The vertical rhythm between entries stays consistent regardless of whether featured images are present.

On narrow viewports, the sidebar drops below the content column. The reading column stays between 55 and 68 characters wide at standard text sizes, which keeps paragraph readability high without forcing users to track long horizontal lines.

Category archives in Blaskan display a filtered view of posts within a single taxonomy term. The archive header shows the category name, an optional description, and a post count. Each archive entry uses the same stacked layout as the homepage but omits the sidebar by default to give the filtered list more room.

Tag archives follow the same pattern. The difference is mostly editorial: categories tend to be broad buckets while tags pick up specific topics. Blaskan does not force a visual distinction between the two, which keeps the archive behavior predictable.

A single post in Blaskan places the full article content in the center column. The title appears at the top in the display serif at roughly 2.25rem. Below it: the byline with the published date, the category, and optionally the author name. Featured images span the full content width.

Heading hierarchy inside the post (H2, H3, H4) uses the same serif family with descending sizes. Body text uses the sans at 1rem with 1.7 line height. Blockquotes indent left with a green border accent and shift to italic. Code blocks use a monospace face on a dark background. Lists maintain the same vertical rhythm as body paragraphs.

Below the content: a post navigation strip links to the previous and next entries. Comments, if enabled, appear after the navigation and use a nested indent structure.

The sidebar in Blaskan occupies the right column on desktop viewports and stacks below the content on mobile. Widget blocks include: a search bar, recent posts, categories, tags, and a custom text widget.

Each widget has a small heading in uppercase sans with tracking, followed by the widget content. The sidebar stays narrow enough to avoid pulling attention from the main reading column. On screens below 960px, it collapses gracefully.
