A fast, Pinterest-ready blog theme with card grid, pin board, list and classic layouts, dark mode and tall 2:3 images.

== Description ==

PinBoostr Blog is a lightweight classic theme for bloggers who get readers from Pinterest and search: food and recipes, DIY, home decor, travel, beauty, parenting, lifestyle, or any other topic.

* Four post layouts: card grid, Pinterest-style pin board (masonry), list and classic.
* Image shapes made for Pins: portrait 2:3, tall 4:5, square or landscape.
* Welcome box with your photo, title, text and a button.
* Featured posts at the top of the blog: latest, sticky or from a category.
* Light and dark mode, with an optional switch for visitors.
* Nine font styles that use fonts already on the visitor's device (nothing is downloaded).
* Two header layouts, optional sticky header and search.
* Sidebar left, right or off; a centered reading column for posts.
* Author box, related posts, previous/next post cards and reading time.
* Social menu with brand icons (Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and more).
* Three footer widget columns, footer menu and a back-to-top button.
* Full width page template, wide and full blocks, editor styles.
* Accessible menus with keyboard support and a skip link.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I show icons for my social profiles? =

Create a menu with custom links to your profiles and assign it to the "Social links" location. The theme picks the right icon from each link.

= How do I get the Pinterest-style layout? =

Customize › Theme Options › Post lists › Layout › "Pin board (masonry)".

= Does the theme load Google Fonts or other external files? =

No. The font styles use fonts that are already installed on the visitor's device, and the theme makes no external requests.

= Does the theme need the PinBoostr service? =

No. The theme works fully on its own. PinBoostr is an optional, separate service for scheduling Pins.
