We have a large number of free WordPress themes and styles.
For the very latest visit 'WordPress Themes & Styles'
Archive for January, 2008
Results of my recent poll clearly show that you’d prefer themes rather than styles. I was leaning towards this myself as it’s easier to upload and activate a theme than having to find the appropriate K2 version and install that first. Also as K2 is continuously evolving it makes it difficult to keep the styles up-to-date.
So I’ll concentrate on themes in the future and may modify some of my most popular styles into themes.
If you have a favorite you’d like me to work on please let me know!

First of all, apologies for the lack of a ‘WordPress Plugin of the Week’ for the last few weeks. A very busy xmas season at my folks in England followed by the start of a new semester left me short of time! But our regular series is now back!
I’ve been developing templates for BANS (Build a Niche Store) recently and have set up a web site to offer free and commercial templates. I needed a way to sell downloads easily and WP e-Commerce from Instinct provided an easy way to do this. It was very easy to set up and is working flawlessly so far. You can see it in action at Best BANS Templates. It has the options of a shopping cart in the sidebar or on the page, sets up product pages, an accounts page etc
