Elemental Theme

November 2, 2009 in Wordpress CMS Themes by admin
By the creator of Mimbo Pro, the Elemental framework is well thought out and a good choice for a content-heavy website. The homepage retains a typical blog format, however, unlike Mimbo Pro – one main story is featured, with posts organized chronologically. I almost prefer the category pages, where snippets of posts are listed. The [...]

Mortar Theme

November 2, 2009 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
The Mortar wordpress theme strikes me as pretty flexible, though its not as content-heavy on first glance. It’s more of a traditional blog theme, except arranged to look much more visually striking. For instance, the homepage posts appear to be in chronological order, but because the posts have thumbnails and are staggered, you don’t think [...]

The Journal Theme

November 2, 2009 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
The Journal is a wordpress theme that looks to be designed to showcase a lot of content and provide a lot of ways of providing editorial control. Highlighted articles are given top billing throughout the site in a pleasant shade of yellow reminiscent of a Post-It note. Recent articles are also squeezed in above the [...]

Daily Edition Theme

November 2, 2009 in News Website Themes by admin
This is a great example of a clean, minimalist Wordpress news-theme with a nice emphasis on images. Could see this being used for a recipe or food site. Homepage uses  a slick featured content well, and stays uncluttered by employing two top menus – the supernav for the less-accessed things like “About Us”, etc, and [...]

The New Yorker

November 17, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
Somewhat of a misnomer, as this theme clearly resembles the New York Times (the New Yorker is a separate magazine), but in any case, this theme gets a resounding thumbs up. Not for the fact that it’s so similar looking to the NYT, but because of it’s heavy widgetization. Check out their widget map (on [...]

Proximity News Theme

August 16, 2008 in News Website Themes by admin
This straightforward theme is probably a good choice for someone who doesn’t know how to do tons of customization. One of the most common questions when implementing a theme is inevitably “How do I change the logo/header”? This developer has thought of that. Advertising in also integrated, as is the popular most commented and most [...]

News by Quommunication

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
Gorgeous and clean Wordpress theme with a two tiered-navigation menu — page-based and category-based. The majority of the homepage is taken up by the featured story (appears to be the latest story). Nice features include a slick “most popular” sidebar with popular, comments, latest and tags. Another unique feature is the robust footer which manages [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Gazette Edition

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
No, the screenshot you are looking at is not CNN. Can’t tell whether it’s the font, the red or something else, but this theme certainly lives up to its name. Gazette is a solid mag-style (or should I say, news-style) theme in a three-column HP design, with some standout features, such as the arresting auto-scroll [...]
