Love that “Irresistible” theme. Nice post.

Wow, thank you a zillion ;)
It’s neat to have quality free themes gathered in one article…

Good job, once again !

Nice List Paul !!

Here’s one more magazine style theme http://www.instantshift.com/2009/01/02/wordpress-christmas-v11-a-free-wordpress-theme/

Thanks for that! I’ve been planning to change my blog design for a while now, but could not decide on the design, an this has brought me even more headache… Thanks a lot! It’s exactly what I needed ;-)

Thanks for that awesome collection!

Great collection! Thanks! ;)

Found this nice apple style one: http://demo.ikreativ.com

WoW… Nice One.. !

Good selection!

Two themes are the same (Meta-Morphosis)

Colonthree~! :3

Some nice reposts, some nice ones I haven’t seen, but sadly a lot of mediocre… Colourise is still beautiful, though. :’3

Sweet, Thanks guys! :)

Really great !
Quality investment !

Nice collection. I especially like the City Dreams theme, any theme which features a topless chick has to be good!

Nice, nice. But why titled “2009″ as it is a long way until the end of the year. As most of these designs were done in 2008, I would better say 2008/2009 or 2008. However, really great article. Keep up the good work.

thank you so much… some themes are very amazing

Nice ;)
More themes ;)

Very nice collection! I always get inspiration by the themes you collect and publish. No question about it, the WOO themes are really the best free themes!

I love the Scarlett theme!

Thanks so much great work

Wow! What an awesome collection! Can never have too many!

@Tschai: very funny

I’m using Irresistible on a couple of sites right now. It has some nice features but some quirks too.

Thanks for adding Absynthe and Gallery to the list.

great list, good job smashingmagazine :)

Best freebies post I’ve seen

Magaling is my favourite! :-)
Many of those themes are somehow “over-designed” in my eyes. But I suppose this is more or less a matter of taste! ;-)
Thanks a lot for this smashing overview anyway! :-)

Some great themes there and some nice ideas too. Keep them coming!

I love One Room (the Second in the List) Theme and used it (modified by me) on my Site.

Smashy M., I love you so much.

Thanks wow

Nice, quite a few I haven’t seen yet. I really like the simplicity of the 5Thirtyone theme. Thanks SM!

wooow, wonderful theme.
thankyou so much.

hello wordpress addict !

I’m looking for a good plugin for autocomplete search but by title. Do you know one like this ?

To have all these great (and free) themes in one place is both exciting and inspirational for a WP newbie. I’ll definitely bookmark and refer to often!!

Very nice. Wordpress Rocks!

Thank you for the post

Very nice collection

I was waiting for this post!!! Thank you SM!

Great post! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for putting together this great collection. We use IsoTherm News and have really enjoyed it.

I wish you could put nav links for each section of the huge list. Otherwise, terrific.

Great selection – several that I would consider, and easy to compare when all in a list – thank you!

Great post! Thanks a lot!

thx 4 sharing these r great!

I love Manifest! Great work all round though.

My portfolio is based on Sharpfolio :) sweet collection!

Another great list from Smashing Magazine. Every time I need to look for free themes, your site is the first place I go!

Nice one

Thank you for including 3 of our best WordPress themes in your collection. It’s an honor!

Magaling
Masinop
Matatag

Tanks for add my themes :)

Great collection. Irresistible has been one of my favorites. some more good themes can be found here

Kind of disappointing to see WP SMASHING not in the list. It is after all a Smashing Magazine theme…

I can see this article topping web hit ranks for a long time to come!

Thank you, I’m trying out some of them now…

A great set of themes, I keep coming back for another and another and……

Thank you!

Jamess

great list :)

Thanks guys, great useful post!

Thank you for this entry, i’ve chose miniblog themes for my blog ;)

Some great themes, Good source, only downside is no mention of WPMU themes, or at least compatible themes.

I have tested Masinop for my blog

Thanks for this! I just re-launched CreativeXpert using Viewport, and I love it!

gergous themes
thanks a lot for this collection!

crazy question….
First day this list was out there was a design with a plaid background. The link was not set correctly and it linked to the designer – not the template in demo. Anyone remember the theme name or designer? (I should have copied both down) Humpf….

Yet another great list, very timely too!

wOw! superb collection.

thanks for the themes! Really amazing work.

I just installed the “Gamezine”

Really good! Don’t forget to download the theme called “Cellar Heat”. It’s fantastic, and inspired by my web site actually. ;) Bye from Sweden!

thanks for the another awesome collection,

:O woow… amazing.. tnks a lot

ha ha ,a lot of thems !!

Great Word press themes list. Thanks for sharing!

thenx

its amazing themes. thanks for sharing

City Dreams is a copy of http://www.ringvemedia.com/ -the third link in the theme is a testament to that. It seems all the developer can do is rip other people’s designs: http://digitalmash.com/journal/articles/ripped .

Goodness Gracious.

Paul if you can share the process of writing such a post that would help me understand you are able to find the sites and the themes. It must be lots of hours of work.

Thank you for the effort.

How are the free themes found for inclusion? I would like to see what people think of the one I created. It is on Wordpress right now. THAT Simple Any comments would be appreciated.

i am newbe, for me this is great colletion from wordpress themes

looks like premium templates…
