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 [...]

Tauren

December 22, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
Categories are given left-hand menu treatment in this theme from ThemeSpinner. The HP does a nice job of featuring stories in three separate ways – through the flash slideshow, through three more featured articles and five more articles in list form below. Recent articles, comments and most recent (unclear how recent articles and most recent [...]

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 [...]

News Plus 1.0

November 16, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
A unique looking magazine/news-style theme with many of the features that any robust WP theme hunter is looking for, including a well-thought out header (categories, pages, RSS and sign in box — would have liked to see newsletter on here) and category-based navigation. What I really like about this theme is that a lot of [...]

Papercut

November 11, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
A place for everything and everything in its place. This Wordpress theme does a nice job of bridging the gap between a blog and a full-blown magazine-style site. The look has a lot of personality, some might say on the crafty/feminine side, which could either be a great thing or a bad thing depending on [...]

Open Air Theme

November 11, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
An elegant and appropriately named magazine-style theme (that also comes with an alternate more bloggy template) from the folks over at WooThemes. Category-style navigation is nice, but the top menu (with image gallery etc) is implemented cleanly. Downsides: a little too much white-space for my liking. Upsides: image & video gallery. More image-oriented instead of [...]

Gabfire Suvi Magazine

August 16, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
This theme has a nice approach to video, incorporating it in an ajax tab on the HP as well as, at least in the way the demo is set up, as a category. Comes equipped with a lot of visual variety on the HP, showcasing a ton of content through the main well, and two [...]

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 [...]
