Longhand

Longhand is ink-blue on cotton paper: Literata for reading, handwritten margin notes in Caveat, and a numbered journal index instead of the usual grid. It is built for people who write about more than one thing.

• Posts with extras (with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin; one click installs it): subtitle, header layout per post (standard, cover, split, minimal), series in parts with navigation, sponsored/affiliate/gifted disclosures, key takeaways, photo stories (carousel, stack or masonry), hand-picked related posts, recipe cards (ingredient groups, servings scaler, print, nutrition, Google rich results) and trip itineraries (day by day, places, a map that loads after a click).
• Author profiles: tagline, portrait, location and links on author boxes and author pages.
• Save for later: bookmark buttons and a reading list kept in the visitor's browser.
• Filters: keyword, topic, series, kind of post and sort on the journal, archives and search.
• Forms: contact, newsletter and request forms with a Messages inbox in wp-admin, spam protection and privacy tools.
• Galleries and video: masonry and carousel galleries with a slideshow lightbox, featured video, click-to-load YouTube and Vimeo.
• Light and dark: a "Night ink" scheme with a switch in the header, and five style variations (Sepia, Sage, Berry, Night ink, Modern type).
• Demo content: Appearance → Import demo creates a home page, posts with recipes, a walking itinerary, two series, photo stories, About, Contact, Series and Reading list pages and a menu.

No page builder needed. Everything is made of blocks and patterns you can edit in the Site Editor.
