easily be customized for any purpose. The theme has inbuilt slider
which can be used to highlight some of your posts. The theme is white,
neat & clean. Powen theme is well documented so there is very less
chance that you will be confused on using any of the theme features. The
theme also supports RTL, you just need to install the theme on RTL
WordPress blog (WordPress in different languages which has RTL as
default writing mode) and the theme will adjust automatically. I really
find this feature fascinating.
