Now i can one theme a every day :D

wow,thanks smashing for this pretty good wordpress template. can you give the info beside the wordpress template like popular plugin component wordpress.thanks

Thank`s a lot!!!

Regarding the Xyberneticos file, I really appreciate their effort, but after waiting forever for the file to download and the contents to unzip, one sees that it is not possible to preview the themes. In my honest opinion, I find it more comfortable to go to themes.wordpress.net and play round there.
Thanks for the info anyway.

The Hello Wiki theme is partially ripped from Dan Cederholm’s Link [www.simplebits.com] site. The header graphic and navbar look to come straight from his site. I’d probably remove this one…

Rick, i see what you mean but i think its different enough to constitute as a different theme seeing as how it might have been inspired but the graphics they used we’re all theirs and the layout changed a bit so i dont think its the same code.

Great collection!

hey whats Happening to smashing magazine this post looks More like a rip off of.

Link [www.clazh.com]

Well our theme certainly isn’t on the other list and given how weird it is (in objective, not design) I was kind of surprised to see it on the list.

Coincidently it was just really released (like 15 minutes ago) so great scoop Smashing Magazine!

Gotta agree with Rick; the “Hello” theme is very obviously a rip of Dan Cederholm’s site, with just a few elements tweaked. Compare the color of the header areas, the type of pattern lurking just above the header, the placement of the navigation with the extended bar beyond the last tab…

It’s a rip. It did change a few things to not be a direct copy, but there’s little to no actual originality or creative design work going on in that theme.

This is fantastic! We need more list of the best blog CMS themes.

really is vrey nice

Hey guys on the smashing web leading magazine ^_*

I really adore your work all over the time .. but excuse me this time .. I can’t find the real beauty with those themes and with this post this time :(

They’re simply ordinary and some below basic themes .. and without the real sense of innovation except couple of them or something ..

I really believe there are hundreds of themes that look much more attractive, simple and innovative than those ones ..

Sorry for being disappointing .. But I love you Smashing Guys :)

Hm, to me first 3 themes look like wordpress adaptations of (top down respectively) 1. bartelme design; 2. centrigy 3. iconshoppe or bunch of similar sites. I.e. looks like people behind these sites leave their skin like snakes…

Thank you so much Smashing, I may just use of these for myself!

Finally a good breakdown! Great pics!

Hey there Thank you for the link back and I apologize if I was too harsh.

I keep on top of the new releases quite well, but you’ve managed to bring a couple that I’ve never laid eyes on…nice ones too.

God job guys!

Wow, very nice collection of themes. I would advise your readers to steer clear of the giant zip file though…Most of the themes in there are crappy. Stick with the 10 listed and customize from there.

Link [hellowiki.com] looks strangely Link [simplebits.com]… Not cool.

Thank you very much to include one of my subjects, all the others are really wonderful, I feel pleased :$

Why why why … aren’t there good themes for Blogger ?

Amazing List!

I gotta love iTheme (simplicity rocks sometimes). I haven’t seen all of these but very cool stuff.

2410 themes in a single archive is not impressive, it’s a total waste of time, space and bandwidth. Who wants to dig through such a number of themes, which has to include anything from top notch to super ugly ?

I’ve just found some blank templates to create my own themes, they’re very good for a starting point!
use them to create your own layout and design. A fantastic resource!

Link [www.blankcss.com]

Is there any way to submit one’s own theme to such round. I’ve released one, previously called Link [blogosquare.com]. Pretty light minimalist though. I thought it fitted the description of clean wordpress themes, that’s why I’m asking :)

I was getting a little bored with K2 modifications and now You’ve listed the best of the best for me :-) Thanks sooo much for this list.

You guys really should get rid of #3. It’s quite obviously a cheap rip-off of SimpleBits. Just admit you made a mistake and take it down.

I love this collection!

Thank you for this list…

These are totally cool !

Ah, I’ve been on the lookout for a cool 3-column theme. Thanks for pointing me to Digital Pop - it will work well for my new blog on Link [www.informedvoter2008.com].

Of course, now I’m back to square one, but I was only at square 1.5 anyway :)

I really like those. Thanks!

now only miss 1 plugin that display allways a random theme and your blog will allways look diferent…!!!!

Or you can have a dark theme at night and a white theme during the day ;)

would be nice if you post also some nice compatible themes for Drupal..
thx anyway!

Hmm. Cheers but maybe you could explain what you like about these templates. In anycase, the designs look fine.

Excellent stuff guys - as usual! I think my personal fave has to be the iLEMONed bartleme theme. :)

cheers mates :)

any effort from sm to look for clean joomla template?

The website hosting ‘iTheme’ seems to have gone down! Anyone got a mirror?

Like them all however the iTheme… that background… just seems like I’m seeing that too much these days…

Hmmm,nice list. I’m considering a new theme for my blog. This surely will help. Thanks!

Great list..

What about this theme:

Link [themes.wordpress.net]

How do you think, is my wp-theme good enough (http://blog.micromarketing.ru)?

Here is a neat black wordpress theme by Link [www.dezinerfolio.com].

Once again, another awesome post. This makes me want to start a blog! But I dont have anything to post.

And navdeep, thats a nice design!

Cheers,
Jack

iTheme is superb.. i really like it

Fine collection. In the beginning of wordpress it was easy to find good themes,… now there are so many themes,… thats why its very useful to find your list.

Thank you!

Thank you for featuring my theme (esn studio - Golden Green). That made my day. :)

oh this file is very big for me.

thanks for spotting us , the zip of all those cute and great wordpress themes .
thanks and it was really helpful rather than collecting them , individually .

Thanks for this list. I have already translated in french the dark thème : Link [wordpress-tuto.fr] et aussi le ithème : Link [wordpress-tuto.fr]
Je me demande quelle sera ma prochaine traduction en français ?

Very nice theme.

The only similarity I can see between SimpleBits and Hello Wiki is the header. Oh right, nobody else has ever made a header like that before. Dark background with menu underneath. Get real.

good job
thx u

Thanks for this great list. I have finally found a theme that I actually really like.

I’d really like the Minyx theme if available in english

iTheme and iLemoned are the best of the lot.
I guess the future belongs to themes with Ajax supported sidebars now….as in iTheme :)
Thanks for the compilation

nice themes

I have found great collection of free templates Link [www.flexibul.com]. Some of them are quite nice :)

Theme: High-Rise v1.1

I thought the themes were very original and sleek looking. I should try them on my original nintendo blog at Link [classicvideogamereviews.blogspot.com]

I enjoyed your post. Have a great day.

I think I might have to give Wordpress a go, they really seem to be getting it right design-wise. I’m going to be checking the other articles on these now!

Please don’t forget mine 1stTheme

Thanks ..!!!

I would also check out Link [new-wordpress-themes.net] for new wordpress themes…

Whoops…for some reason the http is showing odd. Here’s the link…I hope it shows ok this timeLink [new-wordpress-themes.net]

why is it when i goto that link all i see is spanish? no one else said anything about it being in a different language so maybe im missing something

I’m really enjoying a new clean theme just released by Todd Hiestand. Theme’s at Link [], and my implementation is at Link [patloughery.com].

I’m not a bot, just a satisfied user of a clean 3-col theme.
