Gridline Magazine

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, Wordpress Blog Themes by admin
From the same maker (Graph Paper Press) as Visualization, this minimalist theme itself has a number of variations — Gridline Lite and Gridline News. This theme is similar to Visualization, except the 2nd tier of featured stories are adjacent to the main story instead of beneath them — a layout I personally prefer. The main [...]

Revolution News

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes, Wordpress CMS Themes by admin
The Revolution Wordpress Theme series (comes in different flavors, Revolution Magazine, Revolution Tech, Revolutions Sports, etc) is a nice jumping off point for anyone interested in content-rich sites. Standard mag-style features include two-tiered top-nav: page-based for the first tier and category-based for the 2nd tier (with subcategory drop downs). Touches which distinguish this theme from [...]

WP Magazine Theme 1.0

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
This Wordpress theme by Solostream offers critical magazine-style features with some emphasis on community. A big check to my #1 must-have — a category-based nav — as well as a large and potentially auto-scrolling main feature. But prominent too is the “most popular”/comments/tags/etc block on the HP; recent comments and gravatars get play as well. [...]

Mimbo Pro

April 7, 2008 in Corporate Wordpress Themes, Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
What I like about this paid theme is the great job it does showcasing a lot of content very effectively. The HP manages to squeeze in 13+ article options (1 main well, 5 recent stories, 4 secondary stories with image (in slider), and then 3 more articles (with 3 links each!), yet maintains a clean [...]

Live Wire 2.0 / Style / Edition

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
Overall, I think the Live Wire series does a good job of presenting a lot of information with balance. Critical items like category and page-based navigation are taken care of (though I would prefer that colored portion of the menus highlight the categories rather than the pages). I love that they all come equipped with [...]

News Press

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
NewsPress defies the logic that columns must be differently sized. The theme manages to present two columns of equal width on the HP and it works well. I also like that the featured stories on the HP are not just the latest stories but the latest story by category. A++ for that. Not a huge [...]

Premium News

Flash News

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, Wordpress CMS Themes by admin
Among all of PremiumNewsTheme’s themes (See the Live Wire series, for example), I’ve got a soft spot for Flash News. I like the auto scrolling main feature (which runs a touch too fast, but that can be changed), I like the look-and-feel, and I really like how the two nav menus are separated. I also [...]
