We all have different taste on choosing a WordPress theme. When I started The3dtechnologies my first Wordpress themes was a Newspaper/magazine Template, for three primary reasons:

• Save your time because will work as a guide, you can built-In banner ad blocks, upload Main Logo, and so on.

Frugal Theme

Probably you know the blogs template in the traditional sense, but what about the magazine style some blogs are turning towards. Frugal is a new WordPress magazine theme designed by my friend Eric Hamm. Compatible with Wordpress 2.8 is a fully customizable theme for the non-coder.

The better thing is that it free to download. There is also a premium version that goes up to $79 for a single user license, while the developer license goes up to $199.

I can’t tell you how many websites use the Ithemes Wordpress theme series, but are a lot. iThemes makes website templates to be used in the free WordPress software platform, but compared to other themes out there, you are able to find your theme on based your Industry. For instance, if you are an Real Estate Agents you can choose between latest iReal Estate, Essence, or Colonial Real Estate Wordpress theme.

Each Wordpress Ithemes allows you to upload, resize, and crop your own custom header image. They are able to widgetized the custom sidebars from your dashboard, as well. All these themes cost just $29.95 which is much cheaper than the most of Premium themes out there. Download Ithemes

As you can seeon my blog, Arthemia Premium isn’t as common theme out there, with an ordinary blog’s layout, but it’s similar an magazine style theme. This theme will take care of everything for you. For instance, once wrote your better post the auto thumbnail features allows you to assign a specific image for every post on a separate field without ask you to add it.

This features you can not find on other themes. Download Arthemia Premium

Wp-Glory Wordpress Theme

Michael also created another newspaper theme layout called “WP-Glory“. The layout is a liquid-width that resize itself with the window size, which to me is not very professional. Is a 3-column, built to work with WordPress versions 2.2. But this theme has a lot of nice features:

Brian Gardner Wordpress Themes

Why I Think These Guys Are A Good Choice For Your Theme Needs

There are a lot of Wordpress templates on internet for you for free. But like these is very hard to find. I think, a lot of people will pay literally something if they think their website will be more professional and unique than others out there. I like the design of all these newspaper themed layout, and because they offer a series of features that you may not find on another free website templates.
