A clean, modern block theme for writers and content-focused sites, with excellent typography and a warm editorial feel.

== Description ==

Marginal is a lightweight, accessibility-focused block theme built for blogs and other content-first sites. It pairs a warm editorial color palette with a wide, comfortable reading column and fluid typography, so long-form writing stays easy to read on every screen size.

Marginal ships with a small set of block patterns (a featured post hero, author bio, pull-quote, call-to-action, and page header) so you can build a polished homepage or About page without writing any code, along with two alternate color style variations for a different visual mood.

Built entirely as a Full Site Editing (block) theme using theme.json, block templates, and template parts -- no Customizer, no widget areas, no page builder required.

== Installation ==

1. In your WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes > Add New.
2. Search for "Marginal", or upload the theme .zip file directly via Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme.
3. Click Activate.
4. Go to Appearance > Editor to customize colors, typography, and templates using the Site Editor.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this theme support the Site Editor (Full Site Editing)? =

Yes. Marginal is a full block theme built entirely with theme.json, block templates, and template parts. All customization -- colors, typography, layout, and templates -- happens through the Site Editor at Appearance > Editor.

= How do I change the color scheme? =

Marginal includes built-in style variations. Go to Appearance > Editor > Styles and choose from the available options, or create your own custom palette using the Site Editor's color and typography controls.

= Does this theme include page-building patterns? =

Yes. Open the block inserter and look under the "Marginal" category, or search for patterns by name: Hero / Featured Post, Author Bio, Pull Quote / Testimonial, Call to Action, and Page Header.

= Does this theme support widgets? =

No. As a block theme, Marginal uses block-based template parts instead of traditional widget areas. Any content you'd place in a widget can instead be added directly to a template part (such as the footer) using the Site Editor.

= Where can I report a bug or request a feature? =

Please use this theme's support forum on WordPress.org.
