Ryu is a clutter-free theme for personal bloggers. It has great readability with
a large font size, and the one-column layout is perfect for displaying large images.
Optional widgets are located at the top panel with social media links and a search
field. Background color for an image post will automatically match the uploaded 
image in the post.
