Think back to three years ago and to the standards of blogging platforms and to the power of the then themes. Wordpress and its community changed all that, the blogging platform has evolved into an industry standard power house CMS, yet it is still easy to use and build upon. That is why it is so popular.
Theme design has matched the WP CMSs evolution step for step, thanks to the many talented designers and developers, we showcase the best free, and the relatively fresh themes the Wordpress community has to offer.

These are all nice but, they are pretty much the same theme. Doesn’t anyone notice that most wordpress themes available today follow that same format, style, and design?

It’s getting boring.

Thanks for featuring two Obox themes on your list!

For anyone who is interested, Smoke & Tumble is in fact a Tumblr / Posterous theme. It will link up to our upcoming Smoke & Mirrors Wordpress theme.

Thanks again, great collection :)

@ Micheal – I have to agree with you there, there is a widening gap between free themes and premium WP themes. and rightly so! but if you want quality – you must pay

Sorry guys. This is nothing new. Everyone does the slideshow magazine now, but I must admit that I do like the App Cloud eComm theme- a nice package as a whole.

a lot of these have logos that look just like the Vimeo site…tsc tsc…where is the originality in graphic design, people? Or is design today all about styling – all surface and no depth, no vision…
