Astro blog templates suit writers and editors who are comfortable maintaining content files. Think about how readers will find older pieces before choosing a design: a personal journal, an issue-based magazine, and a guide library need different kinds of indexes.
Open Tabs (Astro) is coming soon with a panoramic lead story and month-by-month Journal. The Dispatch (Astro) is coming soon with a full-bleed cover story and numbered contents. Field Manual (Astro) is coming soon with a numbered library and guide outlines.
What to look for in a blog theme
- An archive organized around your publishing rhythm: months, issues, sections, or practical guide topics.
- Article openings that give readers a useful title and enough context before the main text begins.
- A content format that the person responsible for publishing can edit and validate reliably.
- Clear expectations about comments, forms, and newsletters rather than assuming a static template includes them.
- Locally served fonts and a repeatable build workflow, with publication settings checked before launch.

FAQ
Are these Astro blog templates available to purchase?
Open Tabs, The Dispatch, and Field Manual for Astro are coming soon. These previews let you compare journal, magazine, and guide-library structures while choosing an editing workflow for a future site.
Can I edit these templates in the WordPress Site Editor?
No. These are Astro editions, not WordPress themes. Follow the edition’s file-based content workflow and rebuild the site; do not expect WordPress menus or assume that a hosted CMS is included.
Can I use an edition for a client site?
WordPress editions are GPL-2.0-or-later. The Peachfin Themes Astro License allows unlimited personal, commercial, and client sites, with no resale of the template; see licensing for the terms.
What does a purchase include?
An available edition costs $47 once, with instant download and 180 days of downloads. Payment is handled securely through Stripe, and unused purchases have a 7-day refund window. Coming-soon editions are not available to purchase.
