Lyra mixes streamlined elegance with a more personal “hand-drawn” look and feel. This is accomplished with it’s pastel colour palette accentuated by paper and pen backgrounds and icons.

All you would expect from a blog. On the homepage there are featured blog posts, RSS subscriptions, a bit about the author, recent headlines, comments and category listings, your twitter and flickr feeds and a large tag cloud. Lyra also offers you the opportunity to change/rotate the header image between 4 different options.
