April Showers Bring A Fresh New Theme
Automatticians in the Bay Area were convinced it was summer this past week, when it rose above 90 Fahrenheit (about 32 Celsius) and we headed to the freezers to stick our heads in. Now it’s back to something much more reasonable and the northern hemisphere is happy to proclaim that it’s spring!
To kick off the season, we’re bringing you a fresh new springtime theme for your blog: SpringLoaded by The 449.
It’s got all the standard features you love, plus a few fresh touches that make it perfect for the fairest season, like a striking green background and sprigs of grass near the search.
You can find SpringLoaded in your dashboard under Appearance > Themes (which is arranged in alpha order).
Spring on!

April 27th, 2009 at 4:18 pm

April 27th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Damn not my style, but pretty theme.
April 27th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
This theme looks really nice. Love the springy look!
April 27th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Great. So sweet, so clean, so modern… but there is one sidebar only, isn’t it? Could you add a bottom-bar or another sidebar?
April 27th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Correct. There is only one sidebar.
April 27th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
i like the date display on left side
April 27th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
OMG! It’s awesome! Unlike any other theme for free WP so far. I just tested it and I felt like I got an external theme installed!
Thank you. Will surely consider it for one of my blogs!
Please introduce as many themes as possible and as soon as possible!
April 27th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
So pretty!!! I am going to use it. Nao.
April 27th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
I’ll have to go check it out!
April 27th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
I can smell the cut grass and gasoline.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
not for me… but still it looks great
April 27th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Yeay, a new theme! I’m not ready to change mine yet, but it’s nice to see the themes collection growing, and to have a wider variety to pick from.
Nice job, and happy spring!
April 27th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
That summer head-fake got me to finally clean the yard!
Now for some spring cleaning of my blog themes.
Thanks
April 27th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Very nice. And it’s green! <3
April 27th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Clean and green and lovely all around! This theme has got my top vote.
Thanks for bringing it in!
April 27th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Immediately switched themes on both my blogs to this. Much obliged!
April 27th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Any chances of designing a theme based on Coffee?
April 27th, 2009 at 6:01 pm

It’s a good reality!
April has the most delisious weather of the year.
April 27th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
I would love to used this new theme, but I can’t because the main column is too small for the pictures posted on my blog using the “rounded” theme which has a big main column.
For the next new theme, could I suggest you to offer a theme like “rounded” in dimensions ?
Sorry for my approx english, I hope you’ll understand.
Thank you

April 27th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
ok. nice theme
April 27th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Nice (though my current theme is so good I probably never will change it).
April 27th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Very nice modern theme thank you. = )
April 27th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
This is pretty but I like bigger pictures.
April 27th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
This is a fantastic theme! Thanks!
April 27th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Oh, wow. Thank you so much! I needed a change. ^^
April 27th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
i like it.

April 27th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I LOVE IT! Green is my favorite “not black” color!!!!!
THANK YOU!
April 27th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
in this period with all this rain I think that some grass is really ok for a theme ^_^
April 27th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Thanks. I kinda like this. It’s spunky.
April 27th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
It’s very amazing theme
April 27th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Changed…activated!
Love it!
April 27th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Nice Theme.But So sad cant use it.Does not support the styling of some widgets.
April 27th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Send in a Support request and let us know which widgets you are having a problem with. We’ll get it fixed.
April 27th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
I like the dark background–it really makes the theme pop. Also, I am enchanted by the use of Georgia or similar serifs.
Thanks WP!
April 27th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
cool Theme! but not for me, thanks wordpress! you’re really hard workers!!
April 27th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
Awesome! WOW!
April 27th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Nice, needs custom header. Other than that… Bravo.
April 27th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Hmm.. nice theme, Ilike it.
April 27th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Hmm.. nice theme, Iike it.
April 27th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I changed my background with DIV TAG in widget but the border of widget’s box not transparent
April 27th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Where’s the juniper pollen?
April 27th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Beautiful. Although I notice that if I haven’t titled my widgets, the “box” surrounding the widgets doesn’t display correctly. If not for that, I think I would use the theme.
April 28th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
We’ve put in a bug ticket to have our designer work on this.
April 27th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
that is really nice !
April 27th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I love themes…
April 27th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Very nice, I love it!
April 27th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
wow cool ideas!!!
April 27th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Awesome theme…
I gotta change it NOW. And I have changed it.
Thanks for this beautiful theme.
April 27th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Finally! Thanks for the theme
April 28th, 2009 at 12:00 am
it’s very themes man
April 28th, 2009 at 12:31 am
Nice one, I have a garden and houseplant blog that I just started, this is perfect for now:) Thank You. Maybe after spring i’ll go back to the theme I downloaded.
April 28th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Marvelous.
April 28th, 2009 at 1:18 am
nice juga…..
April 28th, 2009 at 1:37 am
very beautiful and fresh, I love the themes that you have , keep up the great work
April 28th, 2009 at 1:54 am
So cool theme. I like it.
April 28th, 2009 at 2:15 am
it’s so fresh and green! <3
April 28th, 2009 at 2:18 am
Cool very spring feel to it.
Would love to see more free themes
Can I be a little greedy and ask for white, minimalistic theme with arial/helvetica/verdana font, customer header & support for all widgets? That would be perfection
April 28th, 2009 at 2:21 am
I liked the part where it showed blog archives circa 1982!
April 28th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Woww… Very nice, calm, comfort theme..
Thank’s for the good work and design..
I like it very very much
April 28th, 2009 at 2:53 am
Nice.
April 28th, 2009 at 2:53 am
That’s beautiful!
April 28th, 2009 at 3:19 am
cool theme’s. thanks
April 28th, 2009 at 3:20 am
fantastic
April 28th, 2009 at 3:34 am
Nice…!
April 28th, 2009 at 3:38 am
Great: Now I can change mines too!
Thanks
April 28th, 2009 at 3:44 am
wow,
great themes!
i like the layout for the date and the search bar
and it’s really fresh!
April 28th, 2009 at 3:46 am
It is very eye-catching / pretty. Unfortunately I really need the 3 column functionality, and there are only 7 3-column themes, which are mostly very boring….
April 28th, 2009 at 4:05 am
The theme has a lot of pros and is highly recommended. I activated it on my primary blog.
Here are some cons that I could find on a quick assessment:
1. The name/link of the commentator is in very small font size (but the comment page looks great just the same). Also the comments link is in small font size but okay.
2. If you don’t give a heading to the text box in the widget it appears slightly cut out and abnormal towards the upper end (I guess some people are facing this problem as is clear from comments above)!
3. The image in the text box widget must have some text after it or else it becomes messy!
It’s a great theme just the same and will find many converts just like the Vigilance theme!
April 28th, 2009 at 4:12 am
Thanks. I am using it.
April 28th, 2009 at 4:27 am
wow cool. please create more theme, as I really love WP’s!
April 28th, 2009 at 5:06 am
green but clean, well done…
April 28th, 2009 at 5:20 am
Please keep the themes coming, I’ve yet to have a theme I like.
April 28th, 2009 at 5:20 am
I mean, the themes that’s available now are okay but its like they are missing something
or something is in the wrong place that would make that theme perfect for me.
April 28th, 2009 at 5:26 am
I like the cooler temps as well. Nice theme!
April 28th, 2009 at 5:42 am
OK – I am giving it a whirl on my SJQCoachingResearch blog even though we are going into winter down here – looks very natty
April 28th, 2009 at 5:48 am
more themes!!!
April 28th, 2009 at 6:01 am
Nice theme! Going to test it later!
April 28th, 2009 at 6:15 am
Awesome
April 28th, 2009 at 6:17 am
I like the colors.. “Fan tas tic “
April 28th, 2009 at 6:31 am
Really nice, I’ve just changed my blog to it!
BUT…. it’s another green theme. WordPress loves its blues or greens. Sorry to criticise but I would love more colour choice. (Or just a tad more colour customisation in the current templates perhaps?
)
But other than that it’s a lovely theme. Thanks
April 28th, 2009 at 7:01 am
I love wordpress..
April 28th, 2009 at 7:26 am
This has an e-blogger like look to it. I like this, more please.
April 28th, 2009 at 7:48 am
it´s neat, but the backg looks like courtains on a stage to me.. rather have it without or with more natural structure..
cheers
April 28th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Degorgeous.
April 28th, 2009 at 9:11 am
verry fresh wheen i looked at it
April 28th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Awesome theme! Hope the team add some header-customizable ones that looks not too minimal and lonely
April 28th, 2009 at 10:41 am
This looks really refreshing, but it’s too faddish for my taste. Please keep new themes coming.
April 28th, 2009 at 10:58 am
dude, what about page navigation??!! and custom header??! cool theme, but it’d be cooler if user could personalize it more…
April 28th, 2009 at 11:06 am
so clean and fresh!
April 28th, 2009 at 11:08 am
a very good them.. switched immediately!!!
April 28th, 2009 at 11:45 am
lovely! Thanks wordpress!!
April 28th, 2009 at 11:59 am
wow, cool theme! have changed mine to this one!!!
April 28th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Great to look at, though for my own blog i prefer less detail in the background – not quite like having someone else’s photo up, but ykwim.
But it’s very good to emphasise the search box, which isn’t always obvious. As for comments – a lot of people not very familiar with the blogosphere (eg my mum when she has a look at my blog, lol) just don’t realise it’s so easy to comment, depending what theme i’m using.
April 28th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Thanks for a new theme! I was looking for something to do with Spring! I’d also love something with cherry blossoms! But wide, not as narrow as many of the WP themes are.
Btw, please feel free to make more new themes. I love WP but I think there’s too little variety (and not enough wide window themes) in the designs we can choose.
April 28th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I really love the fact you guys offer free themes, and work so hard at putting different ones together. But, I feel a but coming on, could there be some more theme-less themes aside from the likes of the sandlots in the near future.
April 28th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
nice theme, but I don’t want to change theme.
April 28th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
yeah, yeah, yeah…… if you say so
April 28th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Very pretty. Definitely will have to test it out.
