Update: June 2009

I originally published this post over a year ago, and it is now a little dated, as many new great themes have been created. I will continue to update this post from time to time with new themes. The following new magazine wordpress themes are from Elegant Themes, the premium wordpress theme site mentioned above. The value on this site is outstanding, you can get access to all these themes and many more for an insane annual fee of $19.95.

I think there are some fantastic magazine type Wordpress themes available, here are the best of what I could find. Clicking on the preview image will load a demo of the theme for those themes where a demo was available.

Saturday In searching for sites with content on Squeeze Pages or Affiliate sites and specifically for how to make money online for free, I found your site to be useful and full of content.

Mimbo and Branford are two of the top choices in my opinion. Several of these are new to me, but they look good.

My choice was Branford and The morning after. It is great. thank you.

I fell in love with the f8 lite theme but its NOT FREE!!!! :((( what a kick in the kintama.

But thanks for the post. Very nice indeed.

Hi Akira - Yes f8 lite is free - there are premium versions of the f8 theme that cost, but the lite version is free - follow the text link above rather than using the preview and trying to find the download link…the text link goes right to the download page.

Polaroid is supposed to be the best theme in all themes and I have downloaded that for my oracle blog. Thanks for sharing all the themes though.

Excellent List! It’s been tough for me, finding a good magazine theme that actually functions properly, this list is going to be very useful!

A few months ago I really wanted a “Magazine” Style Theme…but after winning a free license of one from a blog contest (and the theme I won was beautiful!) I’ve decided I like the traditional blog format better. The ones you have listed here are all very beautiful - but I’m sticking to the more traditional themes these days I may check out that deadwood one - it is similar enough to regular blog style

All these themes have great design and appear to be very functional to the user. These are important things to include in the design of your wordpress blog.

Great collection of themes. I use a theme from Elegant Themes for one of my blogs, and I’ve recommended to them to everyone. Their themes are really clean and simple, and they can make your blog look a lot more professional. Highly recommend them!

Most are nice themes, except deadwood…that one just looks dead boring. =P I wonder how it made it to the list.

The f8 lite is a great theme. I like most of the themes everyone is well done and looks great.

These wordpress themes looks very attractive. I’d definitely use them in my page. Thanks for posting.

Wow, some of these are very impressive. I was just starting a new blog about a month ago and I was looking around for a theme.

Really wish I had seen some of these beforehand.
carrol from photoshop tutorials on June 29th, 2009 10:12 am
