There is a post on the front page of Digg right now with the title “83 Beautiful Wordpress Themes You (Probably) Haven’t Seen”. Before I made the jump to the site, thoughts of skepticism went through my head and I asked myself “How bad are these going to be..?” See, the thing is, Digg is full of a lot of tech oriented people, there are more people who design on the back end, coders, than graphic designers. So I was expecting to see a link to the usual ugly blog, with the usual listed post, with mediocre, or even terrible themes on display. When the window loaded Smashing Magazine, I didn’t see any of that, I saw a decent looking blog, (decent, don’t push it. It’s just a free distributed theme anyway, but hey, content is king.) And 83 GREAT looking themes, some look better than others, but over-all there is some great design in there. So if you’re in need of a new theme, don’t bother looking through page after page of TERRIBLE themes at wordpress.net (I’m not even going to link wordpress.net, because you shouldn’t go there.) Just check out this list, you are bound to find a theme that works for you. And if you don’t, and you’re willing to pay for a good theme made specifically for your blog, leave a comment, and you and I can work something out.
