Post Formats is a WordPress theme feature that enables the writer to change how posts look by choosing a post format that corresponds with the content. The Gee theme supports the following post formats: Standard, Aside, Gallery, Link, Image, Quote, Status, Video, Audio, and Chat.
Post formats are a great way to add visual variety to your blog, as well as introduce new types of blog content to your site.
