What does your web site say about you when you’re not around?
Fog
August 31, 2008 on 6:21 am | In background image, black, cool colors, dark, flexible width, gray, three columns | No comments
Simple and clean, Fog is three column fluid theme by miloIIIIVII with an intelligent PHP menu by The undersigned.
Fog reminds us on one hand of those Sherlock Holmes-ian ghost-y stories - Hound of the Baskervilles and all that. On the other hand we can see reading poetry from these pages - compelling haiku, perhaps zen reflections.
Far across low mist
Intermittently
The lake
Lifts a snow-white sail

Kelabu (Gray)
August 30, 2008 on 5:57 am | In background image, cool colors, fixed width, gray, green, two columns, white | No comments
Kelabu is the Malay word for gray. This theme was designed and built by Bob of Blog Oh Blog based on the famous Kubrick.
With speckled background the theme has a slightly grungy feel about it, relieved by the apple green accents. The header graphic can be adapted to suit your needs. We can see Kelabu (Gray) working for designers, rock bands, musicians, street artists, blacksmiths, car sales, electronics service, electricians, metal workers, panel beaters, engineers, armorers, military, historians, motorsports, cars, automotive, or spare parts companies.

Zip It
August 29, 2008 on 7:10 pm | In gray, light, three columns, two columns, white, yellow | No comments
Zip It is another theme by the prolific designer, Small Potato.
The delicious buttery yellow reminds us of all those old National Geographics stacked up in attics and garages across the world. Tidy, but never bland, and with a clarity of the type usually reserved for better quality magzines. Zip It, we love it.
We’re thinking apairists, cartographers, conference organisers, geographers, magazine shops, photographers, travelers, wildlife artists … choose ‘zip-it’ from Themeleon - our zippy theme shifter.
Smashing Theme
August 28, 2008 on 10:50 am | In fixed width, gray, light, pastel, pink, three columns, warm colors, white | No comments
Smashing Theme was designed by Elena Gafita from the DesignDisease team. Here’s what Elena had to say about her design when she talked to Smashing Magazine:
“Creating a Wordpress Theme isn’t easy but I can’t call it yet a NASA Job. The theme I created for Smashing Magazine was a special task for me because I read this magazine every time they have something new so I wanted to give something back.
After I found out what Smashing Magazine team expects from this theme I got started by selecting the color palette. After this point I created the layout style and placed the background straps modular along with the layout areas. This choice was motivated by the fact that Smashing Magazine is a feed, a flux of information represented by the size and colors of the straps. Colors are — of course — inspired by the Smashing Magazine logo.
Every designer who creates a free theme must know the importance of the AdSense integration in the layout; therefore I’ve divided the content area in 3 sections (columns). Each of them for a specific AdSense unit (468 x 60), (180×150), (160×600).
In my themes I always try to make a clear visual separation between the Posting area and the Widget zone (2nd and the 3rd column). In this case I achieved this effect by creating a strong visual contrast: white for the written post (to ensure the optical silence for readers) and colorful/darker areas (active vibrant content motivates users to click on those surfaces) for the numerous categories, links etc.
Another fact which I care about is the space around the main content (posting area). The flux of information must breathe, so a 20/30px white space between information units is necessary. The space left between the different areas must be used as a module, repeating the spaces in key zones of the layout.
One of the most difficult tasks in designing a theme is to find a style for it. A unique style helps a blog to stand out from simplistic and minimalistic designs. I don’t have anything against minimalist style, but as a designer I feel I can express myself in a more colorful way.”
We love the gelato colors, and see them being used by cafés, confectioners, hospitality, ice-cream shops, interior designers, opticians, quilters, quirky, restaurants, sweet shops - choose ‘smashingtheme’ from Themeleon - our lickerty split theme shifter.
Calm
August 27, 2008 on 9:53 am | In blue, cool colors, fixed width, header image, light, two columns, white | No comments
Calm was designed by Nick Barrett. The header image can be replaced with an image of your choice - or you can keep with the original image of the jellyfish. Sure, we’ll tidy up the credits to Nick and his site.
Maybe it’s the jellyfish image, but Calm speaks of those wonderful warm tropic waters, lapping gently on the coral sands. Maybe we all just need a vacation.
We’re thinking resorts, day spas, dive schools, boat rentals, chandlers, meditation, retreats - anything, anywhere, to ease back and r-e-l-a-x… choose ‘calm’ from Themeleon - our very relaxed theme shifter.
Blue Zinfandel
August 26, 2008 on 10:37 am | In black, blue, cool colors, fixed width, light, three columns, two columns, white | No comments
Blue Zinfandel is by Brian Gardner. A couple of choices are available - two columns (choose ‘blue-zinfandel-2c’ from the Themeleon) or three columns (choose ‘blue-zinfandel-3c’ from the Themeleon).
The Zinfandel family are presented with clean, timeless lines and a pleasant combination of serif and sans serif font consistent with a crisp, classical feel. 
It is possible Blue Zinfandel is named for the grape commonly grown in California, originally the Croatian Crljenak Kaštelanski grape. Zinfandel makes excellent table grapes, wonderful red wine, however, in the USA, it is the white wine that is the biggest seller.
We believe the classical visuals will appeal to people with a need for crisp text presentation, and prompt and efficient load times - perhaps accountants, architects, copy writers, e-news, investment brokers, lawyers, not-for-profits, online magazines, pharmacists, or even oenologists.
A flask of wine, Themeleon, and thou.
Peaceful Rush
August 25, 2008 on 11:41 am | In brown, fixed width, header image, simple, two columns, warm colors, white | No comments
Peaceful Rush is designed by Small Potato of WPDesigner.com. The header image can be replaced with an image of your choice - or you can keep with the original image of the agapanthus lined road. It’s a lovely scene - perhaps from ‘My House in Umbria’?
Peaceful Rush reflects a comfortable outdoors-y idea - where someone has taken ‘that all important indoor-outdoor flow’ thing seriously. Rustic in a sophisticated and charming kind of way. That’s Small Potato for you. Image web sites for B&Bs, small hotels, hospitality people, diarists, wildlife artists, gardeners, wedding planners - any could find a cool and peaceful place to rest amongst the rush. Choose ‘peaceful-rush’ from Themeleon - our serene theme shifter.
Colorus
August 24, 2008 on 11:09 am | In black, dark, fixed width, header image, two columns | No comments
Colorus is designed by Reality Software, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Colorus is a tidy looking theme, in dark tones, however the bright header colours and wispy lines seeming to spark up the energy just a little. Loving the way the colours really seem to come alive against the dark background - very eye-catching without being excessive.
Colorus is ready for science web sites - physicists, teachers, chemists, or perhaps for science fiction contexts. Choose ‘colorus’ from Themeleon - our vibrant theme shifter.
Blossom
August 23, 2008 on 10:57 am | In cool colors, fixed width, gray, neutral colors, two columns, white | No comments
Blossom was designed by Sadish Bala of WP Themepark. Soft, mauve-y colours, a hibiscus flower adds a flourish to this clean and tidy theme. Sadish’s designs tend to work well across browsers and screen resolutions.
Blossom - well, it’s about Spring, growth, abundance, and beauty - suggesting a suitable design for travel related sites, or the more obvious nursery or horticultural world; however we can see the theme working for the health and healing sector as well.

Ad Clerum
August 22, 2008 on 10:25 am | In blue, cool colors, header image, three columns, white | No comments
Ad Clerum was designed by Nat of Theme Terminal. “Ad Clerum” is a Latin phrase which means: “To the clergy.”
Ad Clerum is a perfect theme for churches or other non-profits, however the refined and conservative appearance suggests fine art galleries, finance, legal, politics, or the professions in general. Think buttoned down, crisp quality, white cotton and antique silks. Choose ‘ad-clerum’ from Themeleon - our classic theme shifter.
