New Themes: iTheme 2 and Bold News
If you are doing a great job on your blog and posting regularly, sometimes important posts fade away from the home page. Sound familiar? Today, we’re excited about introducing two new themes that come with a featured section for prominently displaying some of these posts.
The first theme is iTheme 2 designed by Themify, is a free theme inspired by the instantly recognizable Apple style design that is perfect for your Mac related tech blog. By activating it, iTheme 2 immediately revamps your blog to a stylish, Apple themed cool blog.
What’s great about iTheme 2 is not only the look but also its features. It offers three color schemes and a cool featured posts carousel on the home page. Go find more about the theme on its showcase page.
The second entry is Bold News, a premium theme from WooThemes. Same as other fantastic themes from them, Bold News is also packed with customizing features as well as a featured posts carousel on the home page. Get the full details on the theme showcase page. You can upgrade your blog to Bold News directly from the showcase, or from your dashboard under Appearance → Themes.

Thank you, WP Team. Both look really good.

Being a huge Apple fangirl, I’m really liking the iTheme 2!! Thanks!
Oct 18th at 4:55 pm
iTheme 2 looks amazing and seeing how I just switched to Skeptical I probably shouldn’t change to another theme again so soon right?
Oct 18th at 5:10 pm
Love love LOVE the idea of the carousel!
Now perhaps I’m being silly here (and just didn’t see the answer above), but are these free themes or fee themes?
Oct 18th at 5:31 pm
WOW !! Great Themes!!
Oct 18th at 6:33 pm
Love both of them! Clean and pleasant to look at.
Oct 18th at 7:15 pm
Wow, I really love the look of iTheme 2. Now the only question is whether I should use iTheme 2 or Dusk To Dawn when I redesign the look of my blog.
Thanks for giving us so many awesome themes!
Oct 18th at 7:40 pm
I love iTheme2!!! Think my blog will stay there for awhile.
Oct 18th at 8:57 pm
Great Looking themes!
Oct 18th at 10:26 pm
Cool themes. I definitely like Bold News and the carousel part of both themes.
Oct 18th at 11:51 pm
iTheme 2 for fruit businesses
apples and plums 
just kidding. it is a theme for ballet exercises.
Oct 19th at 12:20 am
Two more themes with carousels — you listen to the community — I can tell.
Just kidding around. Thanks for more adding more selections.
Oct 19th at 12:33 am
iTheme2 featured post carousel is pretty cool gadget!!!
Oct 19th at 1:25 am
Guys on WP always make me hard to choose which theme is best for me.
Should try iTheme soon. You rocks!
Oct 19th at 2:22 am
Great themes especially the iTheme2.
Oct 19th at 2:31 am
Thank you, WordPress!!! I just switched to iTheme2 and LOVE it!
Oct 19th at 3:23 am
wowowowow. can’t believe the iTheme 2 is FREE!
Oct 19th at 4:08 am
Lovely themes. Keep it up, really marvelous
Oct 19th at 4:16 am
iThemeeeeeeee! It’s totally great! Yahooooo!
Oct 19th at 5:39 am
Thanks so much for share the themes, I really like it.
Oct 19th at 6:30 am
Yes, please, more themes with FEATURED POSTS! I also love the idea of the featured posts carousel!
PLEASE can you implement those functionalities on more themes? Or even better, could you roll it back to the already existing themes? Like my current theme, Comet, perhaps? Pretty please?
Oct 19th at 6:51 am
RIP Steve Jobs. Great theme to honour him? I think so!
Oct 19th at 7:39 am
OK, now I’m convinced to swap. Love the iTheme2 and have made the switch. Thanks WP!
Oct 19th at 10:04 am
Wow …. love it … thanks for sharing!
Oct 19th at 10:40 am
That is great! iTheme 2 is FREE!!!
Oct 19th at 11:14 am
Really really nice themes! Excellent work!
although I’m not a mac enthusiast I’ll give a try to this theme, it looks really good, and I lke its style, also bold news is an excellent piece of work, keep up the good work,
Oct 19th at 11:47 am
Very impressionable. iTheme2 will surely be very popular among ‘i’ users. Well done developers.
Oct 19th at 12:34 pm
iTheme2 is really awesome! I will switch soon…
Oct 19th at 1:57 pm
What a good themes!
Oct 19th at 2:54 pm
Both are awesome!!!
Oct 19th at 2:55 pm
Nice one iTheme2! Great job! salute to SJ he really change the world
Oct 19th at 3:25 pm
Love the iTheme. Very nice!
Oct 19th at 4:13 pm
Good job!
I am considering to use this theme
Thank you
Oct 19th at 4:22 pm
I really like this theme and they really incorporated Apple into this theme.
Oct 19th at 5:04 pm
wow, is it really free?
Oct 19th at 6:03 pm
very beauty ful theme,thank you
Oct 19th at 6:20 pm
The themes keep getting better and better!
Oct 19th at 9:26 pm
I’m trying out itheme2 because I think the Post Carousel is a very good idea! It will take some time, though, to set a featured image on the posts I want to make sticky. I plan on sizing my featured images for iTheme2 (593X261 pixels), and hope they will look right if I switch to another theme that uses featured images!
Oct 20th at 2:19 am
LOVE the iTheme2. Definitely could be a new look for my music blog. Looks like I’ll have to wait and see
Thank You!
Oct 20th at 3:40 am
iTheme 2 is free? With all that extras? Sweet!
Oct 20th at 7:12 am
Cool!!!! I’ll have a try now…
Oct 20th at 8:31 am
Thanks, usefully for me….
Oct 20th at 12:51 pm
Nice job… both on Apple theme and means of highlighting posts going below radar.
Thanks.
Oct 20th at 3:17 pm
Wow! I LOVE iTheme 2!!!
Oct 20th at 7:08 pm
Oh i’m liking these two. I always look at new themes and might even give one of these a try.

Oct 21st at 8:26 am
I would like the I theme one if it didn’t have the os background. I much prefer something plain.
Oct 21st at 11:43 am
Awesome! I’m using iTheme2 now. Thank you so much! More power to your creative team!
Oct 21st at 11:52 am
iTheme is wonderful! At last a clear, aesthetic alternative to my hitherto iNove. I have long waited for something like this
Oct 21st at 12:06 pm
By the way – is there a possibility to turn off the sidebar on selected pages ?
Oct 21st at 1:51 pm
I really love the clean layout of iTheme2 – does it have a full-width layout though? I definitely don’t need the sidebar on every single page.
Oct 23rd at 1:01 pm
I’m afraid there is no option to disable sidebar nor a full-width page template in iTheme2. The only way to disable / hide the sidebar is customising the theme CSS with Custom Design upgrade.
Oct 21st at 3:58 pm
Oh. My. God.
The iTheme2, really ROCKS for mine!
This is the perfect theme for me so far!!!!
I can’t believe this theme actually comes true!!!
Activated right away!!
Oct 21st at 4:02 pm
PS.
After I tried it, things I really like from iTheme2 are:
1. It gives a lot more headline spaces for page. It put pages in a proper position.
2. It has custom header.
3. It’s sleek and elegant.
4. It’s very.. Mac. XD
Keep themes like this rolling out! Thumbs up!!
Oct 21st at 4:09 pm
PS.
Oh, and the cons is:
1. The content width is smaller than choco theme.
2. The right sidebar is in a small chuck, unlike in choco theme.
But, oh whatever. Despite the cons, I still love this theme far enough.
Oct 21st at 5:09 pm
I really like these themes! Wow!
Oct 21st at 11:42 pm
Switched to iTheme 2.
WordPress.com needs more magazine type of themes (non-premium). This is one of the best ones by far. I like the featured post thing.
Oct 21st at 11:59 pm
LOVE I-Theme 2–did y’all know I love those kinds of colors? It’s already mine!
Oct 22nd at 12:03 am
iTheme 2 looks amazing and seeing how I just switched to Skeptical I probably shouldn’t change to another theme again so soon right?
Oct 22nd at 3:53 am
Wonderful themes. I will save it use in future…
Oct 22nd at 5:36 am
Wow! To say THIS other theme looks good is simply an understatement. Will try it out!
Oct 22nd at 11:41 am
The Bold News Demo looks very great, hope to try it asap.
Oct 22nd at 3:18 pm
Both are cool, especially iTheme 2. But I think I’ll stick to my current theme
Oct 23rd at 4:54 am
I like iTheme2 a lot. the carousel is truely useful, readers can now straight to my favourite posts.
Oct 24th at 9:19 am
I prefer itheme2. Yep! Let’s try..
Oct 25th at 4:56 am
I love the Bold News Demo theme. Very beautiful
Oct 25th at 5:38 am
Looks great! I added it to my blog and modified the background to my liking! Let me know what you think!
Oct 25th at 2:09 pm
Bold News looks so good. Thinking about buying.
Oct 25th at 7:17 pm
Nice, especially iTheme 2!!
Oct 26th at 1:20 am
I like Bold News, not sure if it will work with my new background though and doesn’t look like there’s anywhere for my new header!
Oct 26th at 7:57 am
This theme is awesome, but I still love using the classic wp theme.
Oct 26th at 2:42 pm
Yap. I am excited. I just uploaded stuff. Ready to go.
Oct 27th at 5:59 am
Thank you WordPress for the great looking themes. I just switched to the iTheme2. And it makes my blog look great. I l love the way it shows off my photographs. And the carousel is so cool to use. Now I can showcase my older posts. Thank you again for your wonderful service.
Oct 27th at 12:28 pm
