“Salju” means “snow” in Malay. And this new free tumblog WordPress theme from WP Charity seems light as snow. Or maybe it’s free, like snow is. Oh, I see: there is a steady stream of Javascript snow streaming down the theme. Now it makes sense.

The Salju theme is a minimalist one column theme with three footer widget areas, and a number of tags specific to tumblogging. The tumblog types supported are text, photo, chat, link, quote, audio and video.

Salju is entirely free, so give it a demo and grab it if you’re interested. It is a child theme of TwentyTen, so you will want to make sure that theme is installed when you go to activate Salju.

Do you run a tumblog using WordPress? Why or why not?
