WordPress Themes Roundup

Posted by Steven Swafford on June 23, 2010

If you’re looking for a theme to refresh that tired look of your WordPress blog then take a moment to look at these resources. While there are a number of different theme flavors out there both free and commercial only you can decide what best suits your needs. I must say if you find a commercial theme please purchase it and support the theme owner. While many if not all theme owners work out of love they still must eat. I have tried a number of themes myself and I keep coming back to my personal favorite Hybrid and the child themes. The author of this theme is very responsive to the community and continually is making improvements.
