Platformate has a clean and well-organized look, all while showcasing a lot of content. A news or magazine would probably find good use in this theme. Posts by category are featured in the right sidebar, while conversation is encouraged and prominent with recent comments, posts and tags are featured in the left sidebar.

Although Wellblog is touted as a Wordpress theme for a recipe or food friendly website, we could see it also being good for anyone looking for a slightly different take on the standard blog format. Would be nice to see category-based navigation integrated into the sidebar. The theme comes with three skins, one yellow, one black and one grey.

ArchiePlus is an impactful theme probably best suited for those looking to build a corporate website or a product website with emphasis on photos, but still want the blog functionality.

Another good use would be for a design company, which is the way the demo is structured. The theme’s homepage features a prominent slider, with a page-based-navigation. Blog categories are featured in the extra wide footer.

Michael Oeser aka DER PRiNZ, whose theme Branford Magazine was, as far as I could tell, one of the earliest and most popular free magazine-style Wordpress themes, is back with another free theme, this time called Wynton Magazine.

I’m digging the addition of the category-navigation sub bar, as well as the built-in advertising. The homepage very elegantly highlights the lead story, with three supporting stories. The bottom is similar to the robust footer concept where two rows of third-tier stories reside. All in all, a nice job, though I would have liked to see a bigger call out to RSS/subscribe/newsletters and a slightly bigger search box.
