8 Fresh Wordpress Themes
March 29th, 2007 in Design Showcase | 89 Comments
Nice Wordpress Themes are quite hard to find. Particularly if you don’t know where to begin your search from. Google returns literally thousands of results, but not all of them offer what you personally consider to be quality material.
Some useful references are therefore always useful to have nearby. In fact, some beautiful designs are always useful to get inspired - i.e. if you are going to develop your own theme.
Our collection of 83 Beautiful Wordpress Themes might be a good starting point. And some fresh Wordpress Themes released recently can be helpful as well. Every once in a while we take our time, search around, select most beautiful releases and present them to our readers in our posts.
Let’s take a look at 8 Fresh Wordpress Themes.

Why aren’t there any templates for Blogger/ Beta Blogger ? Any resources ?
Wolf (March 29th, 2007, 8:19 pm)
The FFF one is pretty pretty!
Brutal (March 29th, 2007, 8:23 pm)
Great! Thanks.

Andrew Faulkner (March 29th, 2007, 8:59 pm)
Surely the title of the post gives you a clue to this?
Thanks for the mention, guys.

Ved - WordPress is by far the pack leader in blogging software, hence all the themes that are available for them. I use blogger for one of my sites, I’ll be moving it sometime this summer to WordPress (it has nearly 11k posts so it’s gonna be a bit tuff, even though it’s on my own server), my other blog is running WP and I’ll tell you it is MUCH better in every aspect.

blogging pro is pretty good, like it.
Hans (March 30th, 2007, 4:15 am)

Only the 1st and the last one agree with me. Perfect for technological blogging, plus some personal dirt.
Jermayn Parker (March 30th, 2007, 12:20 pm)
Teh first two are good but the others lack imho. I think the best link however is the link for the blank WordPress templates, so thank you for them :)
Carlos Eduardo (March 31st, 2007, 5:04 am)
Very good examples!
I like the sixth very much :)
Jakob (March 31st, 2007, 10:12 am)
Click on my name to see the theme I just recently released. Since I am not that much of a CSS guru, you have to do some editing before the images work, though. Anyway, check it out.
fishee (March 31st, 2007, 10:51 am)
thanks for the BLANK templates!
