Recently updated, Media is a simple yet solid multipurpose theme. Elements like the header can be extensively customised to include your own images. Media features several theme width settings and sidebar options, making it easier to build a site around existing content. A couple of advanced features are included as standard, including support for 8 Extra Content containers, a search bar powered by RapidSearch (not included) and a date-time function.
