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.
Sep 22nd at 4:25 pm
I wish Magazine was free. It would be so perfect for my blog!
Sep 22nd at 6:20 pm
I like the Parament theme. It would be awesome if it was available in brighter colors too.
Sep 22nd at 6:39 pm
Two attractive and versatile themes. Keep ‘em coming…
Sep 22nd at 7:46 pm
That’s what I need for my next blog! Rock and roll guys!
Sep 22nd at 8:19 pm
Really liking the Magazine theme!
Sep 22nd 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.
Sep 22nd at 10:38 pm
Wow, these are really beautiful themes. 2 rows of tabs is a nice touch.
Sep 22nd at 11:17 pm
I like the Parament theme, maybe coz I’m an Aussie.

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.

This is great. Thanks WordPress!
Sep 23rd at 12:58 am
Nice! Love the Magazine layout.
Sep 23rd 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.
Sep 23rd 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.

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! =)
Sep 23rd at 4:42 am
Wow! Great Themes
Sep 23rd at 9:51 am
Wow, a double whammy! And both lovely! Thank you.
Sep 23rd at 10:02 am
Really lovely magazine themes!
Sep 23rd at 1:18 pm
The best thing in WordPress team is they continuously give updates…
Sep 23rd at 2:49 pm
Wow, Parament is the best xD
Sep 23rd at 3:30 pm
Love the Parament theme. I wish it could be used in wordpress.org and not just in wordpress.com
Sep 23rd at 8:25 pm
It’s going to be available for self-hosted blogs, too.
Sep 23rd at 4:02 pm
Really love the Magazine theme. Thanks!
Sep 23rd at 5:15 pm
It (Parament) fits my pictures very well. But then I’m very enthusiastic about WordPress…
Sep 23rd 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?
Sep 26th 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.
Sep 23rd 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.
Sep 23rd 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.
Sep 24th at 5:28 am
Ah, that magazine theme is just what I have been looking for. Good job!
Sep 24th at 5:51 am
Wow! Both of the themes are awesome! I like Magazine, its look and design are really so good.
Sep 24th at 7:09 am
It’s always nice to see newer themes. It depends on the taste of some visitors. Thank you so much.
Sep 24th at 3:16 pm
Parament is lovely, great work guys! ^^
Sep 25th at 5:37 am
Wow, very much in love with the Magazine theme! Will definitely consider purchasing for my site. Thank you, WordPress!!
Sep 26th at 1:18 am
Oh man, why is every theme I love premium?
Sep 26th at 4:24 pm
I swear, 75 dollars is a little too steep for a theme.
Sep 27th at 12:52 am
Cool. Hope you will make another theme like this.
Sep 28th at 12:50 am
Looks great!
Sep 28th 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!
Sep 30th at 9:58 am
They don’t look bad.
Oct 3rd 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.
Oct 3rd at 2:17 pm
Whoa, I love the Magazine theme, really cool.
Oct 3rd at 6:53 pm
That Magazine theme is very cool!
