New Themes: Magazine and Parament
Isn’t it nice to have a brand new theme, or two, on a Thursday? Maybe you’ll remember, this day in September—because today it’s double the fun with Magazine and Parament now available in your WordPress.com dashboard.
Magazine is a sleek and stylish theme from StudioPress that’s perfect for showcasing your carefully crafted content. Choose from ten color schemes and six layout options and customize it to your taste. Make it yours for a lifetime subscription of $75, and discover all its features on the Theme Showcase.
Parament is a beautiful, all-purpose theme featuring a dark color scheme with bright orange highlights and a textured background. Its clean, colorful, and curved lines will help your content stand out from the crowd. Learn all about it on the Theme Showcase.
Enjoy.

Brilliant! I have been looking for a magazine format and this one just might be the trick. Thanks!

I wish you’d do some more “fun” themes. They’ve all been so serious and aimed towards the photographers.

Check out our most recent themes: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/recent/ — there are quite a few fun ones in that list.

Wow–Magazine is beautiful and Parament is striking. I’m always impressed that you all keep producing such amazing themes. Thanks for all of your hard work!

HUGE fan of “Magazine” — perhaps because of my background in magazine editing? Or just because it’s super cool…
Clean, simple, bold — and I LOVE the tabs!

I like the look of the new theme, Parament.
September 22nd, 2011 at 4:25 pm
I wish Magazine was free. It would be so perfect for my blog!
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:20 pm
I like the Parament theme. It would be awesome if it was available in brighter colors too.
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Two attractive and versatile themes. Keep ‘em coming…
September 22nd, 2011 at 7:46 pm
That’s what I need for my next blog! Rock and roll guys!
September 22nd, 2011 at 8:19 pm
Really liking the Magazine theme!
September 22nd, 2011 at 8:47 pm
WHOA. The Magazine style is fantastic! I won’t be taking it, though, because it would make my blog look TOO professional, and I don’t know if I’d be able to live up to those standards.
September 22nd, 2011 at 10:38 pm
Wow, these are really beautiful themes. 2 rows of tabs is a nice touch.
September 22nd, 2011 at 11:17 pm
I like the Parament theme, maybe coz I’m an Aussie.
September 23rd, 2011 at 12:05 am
Magazine would be so perfect for my blog. It has the right style for my blog. Only if it was free…..
Paramount is cool, especially with the orange highlights and textured background.
September 23rd, 2011 at 12:34 am
This is great. Thanks WordPress!
September 23rd, 2011 at 12:58 am
Nice! Love the Magazine layout.
September 23rd, 2011 at 1:06 am
Congratulations… your themes are always beautiful!

I REALLY liked Parament at first sight. My only wish is that I could align my header text; if I could stick it in the lower left-hand corner, I’d say it was almost custom-made for me. Simple, sophisticated, easy-to-read, works on an iPad.
September 23rd, 2011 at 2:23 am
Sigh… I like the Magazine but I wish it was free… love the pink in it.

glamdolleaston reblogged this from glamdollteaston and commented:
Wow! great..is it 75.00 a month or a year. My first time on here so i’m trying to get use to wordpress. Kinda different from blogspot.
September 23rd, 2011 at 4:27 am
Every magazine theme looks like an actual “website”. That’s got to be the reason almost each of them cost money.
I like the free theme as well. I’ll keep my theme the way it is though, I’ve finally found one that works! =)
September 23rd, 2011 at 4:42 am
Wow! Great Themes
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:51 am
Wow, a double whammy! And both lovely! Thank you.
September 23rd, 2011 at 10:02 am
Really lovely magazine themes!
September 23rd, 2011 at 1:18 pm
The best thing in WordPress team is they continuously give updates…
September 23rd, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Wow, Parament is the best xD
September 23rd, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Love the Parament theme. I wish it could be used in wordpress.org and not just in wordpress.com
September 23rd, 2011 at 8:25 pm
It’s going to be available for self-hosted blogs, too.
September 23rd, 2011 at 4:02 pm
Really love the Magazine theme. Thanks!
September 23rd, 2011 at 5:15 pm
It (Parament) fits my pictures very well. But then I’m very enthusiastic about WordPress…
September 23rd, 2011 at 8:24 pm
I think Magazine’s type style (for the title) is cool, but I like Parament better.
Why did you name Parament as you did?
September 26th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
We named it Parament just for fun—the name comes from an old term for “ornament” or “adornment”, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parament.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:37 pm
If I was looking for a theme for photographs, I would certainly use Parament. The photos look good, the font is very easy to read and Blockquotes are nicely emphasized.
September 23rd, 2011 at 11:59 pm
I’m not interested in new themes. I’d rather you work on making the formatting of blog posts with inserted pictures more user friendly so that I could arrange the layout of pictures and text the way I want it to look.
September 24th, 2011 at 5:28 am
Ah, that magazine theme is just what I have been looking for. Good job!
September 24th, 2011 at 5:51 am
Wow! Both of the themes are awesome! I like Magazine, its look and design are really so good.
September 24th, 2011 at 7:09 am
It’s always nice to see newer themes. It depends on the taste of some visitors. Thank you so much.
September 24th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Parament is lovely, great work guys! ^^
September 25th, 2011 at 5:37 am
Wow, very much in love with the Magazine theme! Will definitely consider purchasing for my site. Thank you, WordPress!!
September 26th, 2011 at 1:18 am
Oh man, why is every theme I love premium?
September 26th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
I swear, 75 dollars is a little too steep for a theme.
September 27th, 2011 at 12:52 am
Cool. Hope you will make another theme like this.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:50 am
Looks great!
September 28th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
I really like this theme but I bought a premium theme 6 months ago. I feel a little stuck with it now though – maybe I look at changing in a few months time, we’ll see. Great job!
September 30th, 2011 at 9:58 am
They don’t look bad.
October 3rd, 2011 at 7:00 am
Really nice layout, clean and good proportions between top part and bottom, wonder if it should to have small tumbledown into the top headings to make it even more interesting to enter into the pages. All in all a top new style and probably needed since magazines are top stuff. Thanks.
October 3rd, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Whoa, I love the Magazine theme, really cool.
October 3rd, 2011 at 6:53 pm
That Magazine theme is very cool!
