Just Another WordPress Weblog
September 8th, 2006 at 9:45 am
YAY!!! I’d like to see something similar to blogger’s “Minima” in black and white. THANKS SO MUCH for asking!!
September 8th, 2006 at 9:49 am
WordPress.com is getting better and better! Here goes my favourites’ list:
Delicate Dreams
Greenday 1.1
Noir et Blue 1.5
for now.
September 8th, 2006 at 9:49 am
yeah, one that can match http://www.the-deen.co. uk please with two sidebars (one on left and one on right) and the main body is the middle column.
September 8th, 2006 at 10:00 am
I’d love something based on comic books, pulp fiction sort of stuff!
September 8th, 2006 at 10:32 am
Maybe something techy/geeky will do..
Well, I’ll post again later.
September 8th, 2006 at 10:33 am
Barthelme
Stunning.
September 8th, 2006 at 10:37 am
if it’s not too much to ask… how about K2 v1.0 when it’s finally stable?
K2’s from the creator of WP’s default theme: Kubrick! Michael Heilemann himself! XD wewt!
September 8th, 2006 at 10:40 am
“The Cabinet” theme by EVOK (http://www.evokinteractive.com/) would be great! I would also like to see some customization options and sidebar widgets support for the “Fauna” theme.
September 8th, 2006 at 10:41 am
Something red/silver
September 8th, 2006 at 10:42 am
IM box theme.

September 8th, 2006 at 10:45 am
something colourfull?
September 8th, 2006 at 10:51 am
I just found out that the EVOK Interactive site is down. You can find the IMO great EVOK theme here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2005/12/12/wp-theme-the-cabinet/
Would be great if you could add it to the available themes.
September 8th, 2006 at 10:51 am
Some thing funky, cos the current ones are good but need a bit more spread of colour. Oh and a nice techie one. like that one with the city skyline but a lil more electronic…
September 8th, 2006 at 10:51 am

Fauna, fauna, fauna, fauna, fauna, fauna, fauna, fauna!!!
http://www.noscope.com/fauna/
September 8th, 2006 at 11:20 am
something very clean (ie white background) but with all other functions like header, links above header
September 8th, 2006 at 11:21 am
Something like the Theme “Quentin” or “Jentri” coloured like the Theme “Banana Smoothie”?
September 8th, 2006 at 11:24 am
Something neat, clean and chic. With all the sidebar widgets and customizable headers.:smile:
September 8th, 2006 at 11:28 am
Matt there are some excellent themes here http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/ In particular the following would be good:
fGrey: http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/index.php?wptheme=fGrey
and
fSpring: http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/index.php?wptheme=fSpring
fUnique http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/index.php?wptheme=fUnique is an excellent 3 column layout as well.
Regards,
Rushi
September 8th, 2006 at 11:28 am
maybe with flash header allowed?
September 8th, 2006 at 11:31 am
Hi,
What about something like Unsleepable or K2. Something web 2.0ish looking.
That would be great.
September 8th, 2006 at 11:33 am
What about something like:
Unsleepable: http://openswitch.org/extras
or
K2: http://getk2.com
Kind of a clean, web 2.0ish kind of thing.
September 8th, 2006 at 11:38 am
http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/blogtxt/
It’s very simple, but I’d love to have it on the list.
September 8th, 2006 at 11:43 am
Unsleepable
Dang, I forgot the link
September 8th, 2006 at 11:49 am
Simplr. Single column minimalism at its best.
September 8th, 2006 at 11:50 am
definetly something dark/black/silver plzzzzzzzzzz
September 8th, 2006 at 11:54 am
Hmm…How about some Sleek ones with Bikes/Metallics/Cars as the backgounds?
September 8th, 2006 at 11:59 am
I woul dlike to see tabs on the sandbox theme.
September 8th, 2006 at 11:59 am
I think I’ve suggested this one before… hope you take a look at it if you guys haven’t yet…
It’s called freshy. It’s a very flexible template – from a small palette of colors for a quick theme change to a big big selection of great headers.
And it looks techie, too
Hope you take a look at this one. It’s at:
http://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/template-freshy-wordpress/
This site itself is on the freshy theme (as of now)…
Thanks!
September 8th, 2006 at 11:59 am
I am waiting for something for photobloggers (clean black or white design, layout support for bigger images), like Nishita http://tinyurl.com/rgc7t or Polaroid http://tinyurl.com/ruvmd.
September 8th, 2006 at 12:03 pm
In any case – something which has no fixed width! I need a theme were I can post long URLs and long lines of source code, so the most themes width a fixed narrow do not fit my needs.
September 8th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
I can suggest these:
SweetBuzz Green
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=927
Blandy
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=952
Minimalist Fever
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=931
Living OS GAMMA
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=906
Indigo
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=906
Tree
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=890
Easy White
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=877
September 8th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
come on guys, before you start on a theme adding spree again, why dont you widgetize and custom header-ize all the existing themes ?
or am i being an ignorant prick and is that not possible due to the way they were coded ?
September 8th, 2006 at 12:33 pm
What about True blue? http://stevelam.org/projects/trueblue/
or Binary blue? http://www.4null4.de/wordpress-binary-blue-theme/
September 8th, 2006 at 12:37 pm
Sorry i don’t need a new theme right now… just changed the whole appearence… but could you make Ambiru more editable? I can’t edit the side(bottom)bars…
thanks again!
September 8th, 2006 at 12:38 pm
Nice idea! I miss trying out templates on my own domain before. I have used Squible Theme. Or anything that has drop down menus for Blogroll links, Archives lists, or a theme with a Threaded Comment plugin.
Thanks in advance.
September 8th, 2006 at 12:44 pm
An upgraded version of Fauna.
September 8th, 2006 at 12:49 pm
Blue Moon?: http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=479
September 8th, 2006 at 12:55 pm
An upgraded version of Ambiru I really love it.
Please Phu Ly give it to us, pleeeeseeeeee
September 8th, 2006 at 12:58 pm
I want to cast a vote for Barthelme too.
September 8th, 2006 at 12:59 pm
An upgraded version of Ambiru, I really love it.
Please Phu Ly give it to us, pleeeseee…
September 8th, 2006 at 1:00 pm
The very very very very best is
http://www.solutionwatch.com/305/newsvine-seeding-the-vine/
Dario
(please look at that)
September 8th, 2006 at 1:02 pm
that’s too bautiful… is moving….
remember http://www.solutionwatch.com/305/newsvine-seeding-the-vine/
September 8th, 2006 at 1:14 pm
Something more open, with a nice font and a simple feel. Some of the current themes feel too cramped. More space to write in?
September 8th, 2006 at 1:23 pm
As a coder who posts random code bits, a theme that truly understands code snippets. Mark’s Freshy Theme seems to do that in old linebar-themed style. Past that, I really like that theme (Freshy) except that it’s fixed width. If you could customize the %-width or span it 100%, that’d be a slick theme.
Also a Technorati widget or something… since we can’t post the code directly into the site.
September 8th, 2006 at 1:30 pm
I’d like “Connections” in a few different colours, preferably teal. I love teal
September 8th, 2006 at 1:40 pm
I really like these two:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/790/wucoco-two-column-0100/
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/479/blue-moon-10/
September 8th, 2006 at 1:43 pm
i like dario’s suggestion. it’s wide enough to fit all our thoughts as well as the side columns. very sleek! i also was thinking of something that looks like a notepad? something contemporary and simple?
September 8th, 2006 at 1:45 pm
I like this one:
http://www.monetizingtheweb.com/wordpress-theme-mw/
September 8th, 2006 at 1:52 pm
I like Mark’s suggestion.
Mark Says:
Hope you take a look at this one. It’s at:
http://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/template-freshy-wordpress/
September 8th, 2006 at 1:57 pm
I want GreenTrack!
September 8th, 2006 at 1:57 pm
I just hope Regulus starts allowing modifying the font you use for posting as well as its color. That would be an awesome addition. Also, I hope there’s a crystal/glass, clean look. Mac OS X-ish?!
September 8th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
Something right-to-left-ish. please
September 8th, 2006 at 1:59 pm
Black minimalism:
http://www.cinexl.net/blog/
September 8th, 2006 at 2:00 pm
freshy will be perfect:
http://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/template-freshy-wordpress/
September 8th, 2006 at 2:01 pm
Something in dark tones.
September 8th, 2006 at 2:02 pm
I was thinking something maybe a little more fantasy like or some underwater theme or like an egyptian….
just something more visual. please
September 8th, 2006 at 2:05 pm
More with customizable headers, please.
September 8th, 2006 at 2:06 pm
Freshy please add
.
Available on WordPress Themes pages.
September 8th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
I’d like some reddish theme colors for autumn like:
China Red
Red Train
Dark Maple (has a nice size for header image) This is one of my all-time favorite themes.
AND:
Coffee Cup which has a nice BIG header image for those of us customizing the header.
All these themes (and many others!) can be previewed and downloaded at: http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php
(Naturally, I’d like customizable headers and sidebar widgets for all new themes introduced.)
September 8th, 2006 at 2:14 pm
I agree with Andy. Barthelme is beautiful.
September 8th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
I’d like a comic book theme too.
September 8th, 2006 at 2:23 pm
I like the theme that Warren Ellis is using on his blog (http://www.warrenellis.com/), it’s a nice use of space.
September 8th, 2006 at 2:31 pm
something with the x factor
September 8th, 2006 at 2:39 pm
In my opinion, freshy will be good for many users… It’s for everything, he can be as well template for blog as for website and other…
September 8th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
My vote is with everythingelse’s suggestion, “…why dont you widgetize and custom header-ize all the existing themes.” As well as liquidat, “…something which has no fixed width!” Oh and I’m a big fan of all things Googie. http://www.spaceagecity.com/googie/
September 8th, 2006 at 2:52 pm
Something very functional
must haves:
- no fixed width
- sidebar widget support
- page templates
September 8th, 2006 at 2:57 pm
I like Mark (http://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/template-freshy-wordpress/) and Dario (http://www.solutionwatch.com/305/newsvine-seeding-the-vine/) suggestions.
And I also like WP Binary Blue (http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/388/wp-binary-blue-101/) and Vistered Little (http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/701/vistered-little-1/).
September 8th, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Ive been searching the net for templates, and onthis website, I like the city templates and the rain and wolf in midnight templates
http://blogspottemplates.blogspot.com/
September 8th, 2006 at 3:11 pm
How about s.th. like this:
http://soomah.weblogs.us/
or that
http://diejumis.de/
or
http://www.steinis.ch/
http://www.law-blog.de/get-the-theme/
… but none of the I would call the ultimate theme …
September 8th, 2006 at 3:18 pm
I’d like to be able to customize the header of Kubrick with a picture, or to change font size in Regulus or other themes (most of the fonts are too small, Kubrick reads fine)… That said, here are two themes I like:
Misty Look:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/831/mistylook-101/
Letoprime:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/506/letoprime-091/
September 8th, 2006 at 3:22 pm
Go here for all the themes you could ever want. You can sort by color, column number, width, etc.
http://themes.wordpress.net/?
view_type=thumbnails&item_type=latest&page_number=1&count_per_page=12
September 8th, 2006 at 3:23 pm
I really like Tarski.
September 8th, 2006 at 3:25 pm
s.th. simple like this
http://www.kmcmalachi.org/bradlaurel/index.html
September 8th, 2006 at 3:33 pm
something to match http://www.the-deen.co.uk ? as i the green, black and white and silver of http://www.the-deen.co.uk/home.htm
we need to be able to customix more, change more colours and the width etc.
please
September 8th, 2006 at 3:34 pm
Barthelme, very very nice
September 8th, 2006 at 3:36 pm
I like Mark and Dario suggestions.
I would add WP Binary Blue (http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/388/wp-binary-blue-101/) and Vistered Little (http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/701/vistered-little-1).
September 8th, 2006 at 3:40 pm
I’d like a theme where there is a creative background (with pensil stripes or cicles or something like that) and where the blogpart and the sidebar are two seperate things, they don’t hang together. Know what I mean?
Well, it’s just a thought.
September 8th, 2006 at 3:42 pm
I’d like to see K2 when it reaches v1, and also Subtle (http://blog.gluedideas.com/downloads/subtle/)
Ben
September 8th, 2006 at 3:47 pm
I’d like to see more themes with left sidebar.
Also, WoWza is a nice theme
http://codamon.com/2006/08/wowza-world-of-warcraft-wordpress-theme
September 8th, 2006 at 3:48 pm
Some themes from disney movies are always fun and different. I mean who doesn’t love at least one disney movie or character.
September 8th, 2006 at 3:52 pm
Something Black… Something Metal \m/
Also, why don’t you run a competition wherein people from the wordpress.com community submit themes and the community votes for the best themes which would then be available for all to use.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:04 pm
Reflections ( I like the girly themes), Narnia, Landzilla, Jakrata (love this), FAlling Dreams, DAisy Rae Gemini, Blue Bye You.
on this page : http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php
September 8th, 2006 at 4:08 pm
The most important is to be able to change the header on the new theme too !!
September 8th, 2006 at 4:18 pm
Hemingway with more customization — for instance, size of excerpts, multiple excerpts on the front page (4 instead of 2), custom options for the bottombar, etc.
Check out Origami for WordPress 2.0 at http://www.leevigraham.com/. This is BRILLIANT and the customization options on top provide the reader with more power.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
Hi,
My comments don’t seem to post…
I’m going to try one more time:
K2 at http://getk2.com
Unsleepable at http://openswitch.org
True Blue at http://stevelam.org/projects/trueblue/
Binary Blue at http://www.4null4.de/wordpress-binary-blue-theme/
Something Web2.0 ish.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:24 pm
And how about removing some themes that may not be used at all? I don’t know if there’s any that is not being used currently, but some of the available themes must absolutely go out in my opinion.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:25 pm
I’d love to have one based on the benevolence theme I’m currently using that has two columns.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:30 pm
sorry, I forgot to give an example…
similar to this redux of K2 for instance:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/849/3k2redux-klein/
September 8th, 2006 at 4:33 pm
I want a theme for automobile purpose.
My current theme is Dusk. I choose this because of its fix width 500px and support unicode for my language.
bmw7.wordpress.com
September 8th, 2006 at 4:36 pm
Blix in different colors …
September 8th, 2006 at 4:37 pm
Tarski would be wonderful.
http://www.tarski.com
September 8th, 2006 at 4:48 pm
I’d like to see some more themes that use as much of the screen space as possible. All in CSS, not static, plenty of widgets, 3 column, tabbed “pages”, cross browser compatable, less fancy more funtional AND…..(drumroll) a Footer!!!
In the footer we could place widgets like counters and copywrights and powered by wordpress…stuff like that.
And maybe better widgets (like the del.ico.us widget isn’t so good because you have to name the tags that you want to show, what if you want to show all of them??). We just plain flat out need a Creative Commons widget.
I hope I’m not asking too much. I hate to be a bother. But I think these additions would be very useful to everyone.
Thanks for all your hard work,
therealdonquixote
September 8th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
how about the theme that i am using that i had made which is a modified version of silver is the new black.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:52 pm
actually i rescind my offer. i like being unique.
i do really like barthelme above. wow.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:53 pm
I’d like a theme in which the archives are better organized, like by year, and then if you click on that year, then subsequently by month, etc. Currently my archives take up half of the page.
