Create a truly unique design with Magazine Basic, a lightweight and fully responsive
HTML5 theme based on the Gridiculous boilerplate. Use the Customizer to add your
own background, page layout, site width and more. Distinguish each post with one
of the eight supported post formats, such as: Video, Image, Aside, Status, Audio,
Quote, Link and Gallery. Install JetPack to display each of your galleries through
a tiled view and jQuery carousel. Compatible with bbPress & BuddyPress. Built using
Bootstrap. Magazine Basic uses Google Fonts for improved typeface readability and
works perfectly in desktop browsers, tablets and handheld devices. For a live demo
