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 !

Simply stunning list!!
Can’t wait to change mine, but I don’t know which one to choose now..

Great article! Just for your information, the link to Speckyboy is not correct…

great list!!!!

100 more reasons for SMASHING MAGAZINE.
Great article.

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

Wow, really great collection.

once more, lovely post

Good stuff, nice to see a lot of ones suitable for portfolios/photo blogs.

This is really cool

Nice themes selection.

Wow great collection. Thanks!

Sketchy theme had an error in it that did not allow it to be used. I wonder what the general quality of most of these templates is (behind the glossy looks)!

Thanks for including my Minimal theme in your list!

I’m pleased that the guys at Woo Themes have featured because not only are their designs great, their support is fantastic and Gazette must be one of the best magazine themes ever.

Nice List..Thanks

Cool selection, good for design inspiration too!

Very impressive collections and I like the fact that is hows how much vareity of deisgn you can have using one syste.

Tanks for add my themes :)

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”

thanks for the another awesome collection,

ha ha ,a lot of thems !!

Really awesome list! There are some very premium-isc free temps here!

TYVM!

I’ll be using this more for inspiration to design my own blog rather than using these templates.

Brilliant never-the-less.

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…

Your themes are absolutely beautiful. I am new to the internet scene. I have to say that finding your site might not be such a good thing for me, trying to stay focused on one thing at a time. You see when I see each theme I become inspired to create a different kind of site. FREE??? Really??? or am I confused?

wew..nice template…

thanks for shared..:D
