It is getting harder to show you professional and good looking wordpress magazine themes. The Majority is widely advertised by bloggers. A brief google search for “Free wordpress magazine themes” will show you the usual suspects. Pages that you are tired of visiting and showing the same old magazine themes.

Fortunately from time to time there is a new free wordpress magazine theme release that is worth mentioning. Today i have only 3 but i assure they are top quality.

The first two are from one of my favourity designers (Web2feel.com). They present us with regular wordpress magazine themes. The themes “skeleton” is basically the same, but they make alterations that make them impressive.

1- Milano

A free magazine that suites all niches. It is designed to help you make money through ads.

Nice olive color scheme. Definitely a theme to take into consideration for your next project.

This is a premium free magazine style theme for wordpress. Comes with a variety of plugins all included in the pack, and it is adsense ready.

These are the one i think they deserved to be posted. There are a lot more magazine themes to show, but like i said, they are widely advertised by bloggers and i want to bring you original and fresh content

Today im going to revive a type of post that brought me great amount of traffic (and still does).  Magazine themes for wordpress have conquered many bloggers and nowadays, these type of themes are in high demand. Every month i see new wordpress magazine templates, some free, some not free.

Well, i have selected 6 Premium and FREE wordpress magazine themes. Their quality is awesome, and will make you blog reach the next level. Im sure you will enjoy my selection:

1 - Gamezine: Ultimate Wordpress theme for Gamers

2 - Daily Planet

3 - ZinMag Futura

4 - ZinMag Redux

5 - Forex Press

6 - ZinMag remedy

As you can see these themes have great quality indeed. Because they are magazine style, it will require you to do some editing, but don’t worry, they all come with instructions that make the process easy.

There is one thing though, that i must say, these themes are free, but only because they are sponsored. There are a couple of sponsored links placed on the footer of each theme.

These wordpress magazine themes are serious candidates for my bans conversions. I must say that i have been trying to convert some of these themes in the past day with no success so far…

In the last week, i decided to try to convert some wordpress themes to use with Bans. I wanted to do this, because of two reasons:

First I didn’t want to depend on others to get the themes i wanted to use on my wordpress/bans sites and secondly  there is an high demand for this type of integration and very few themes available.

So, after learning how to convert wordpress themes to be used on bans sites at mark’s blog, i decided to try for my self.  The process itself is somewhat simple, but i decided to go first with some simple themes and then head over to more complicated themes.  I have to confess that this process is a bit addicting, and im thinking that now that i have more spare time, i will be doing some serious conversions! lol.

There are some themes that i want to convert but i have stumbled with some issues that i need to correct and i haven’t discovered the solutions for them…. :\

I want to share with you some of the conversions i’ve made. The themes used are simple, nothing out of extraordinary, but i am sure they will fit the needs of some of you.

1- Peaceful Rush

Download Peaceful Rush

2- Pink Love

Download Pink Love

3- Preserver of Health

Download Preserver of Health

These themes are free to use. All zip’s come with a readme file with instructions on what you need to change to make the theme work correctly. If you have any doubt on how to install them feel free to ask for support here, and if you find any bug then please do tell me.

The themes are free, but i ask to please maintain the credits of the theme placed at the footer. Removing them goes against the TOS in which they have been released to the public.

I plan to continuously release more themes, some will be free, some will be available only to feed subscribers, others wil cost something. Let’s see how things go.

If you want a specific theme converted you can ask here, and i will put it on the queue.  If you don’t want to wait too much time then contact me so we can discuss the price of the conversion.

We all know that poorly designed websites can make huge money, but we also know, that a good looking website can make the difference between failure and success. When a webmaster, or in our case, bloggers create a blog, one of the main parts of the process is to choose the right wordpress theme for it.  A google search quest starts and practically we all arrive at the same places with equal list of wordpress templates… While having a place that gathers a bunch of wordpress theme makes our life better, it will have a downside: it is most likely that the theme we choose is being used by several hundred other blogs. This gets worse if a particular theme is famous between our fellow niche bloggers.

Now, you have three choices:

1. you don’t care about it;
2. You have skills to customize the theme;
3. You choose another theme;

Now, instead of giving you the Best free wordpress themes as the majority do, i will give you:

7 wordpress theme to run away from:

This is a small list of the most common wordpress themes i find while visiting blogs. IT is an incomplete list though. There are more themes that i wanted to place here, but for one reason or another i decided to let them escape…. this time….

Not so fresh and its predecessors

Blogging Pro theme

Illacrimo

WP Premium

UBD Moneymaker Theme

Langit

DeepBlue

These are only a few of them. There was one that i wanted to add to this list but i couldn’t find the author’s webpage.

All themes are free, reason way they are so used.

Don’t get me wrong. These themes are great, but there are too many blogs using them on specific niches like MMO, SEO, Internet Marketing blogs.

Every day, new free wordpress themes are released, and many of them aren’t that famous, we just need to search further.

Well, it has been a while since a talked about one of my favourite topics here at bloggervenue.com. im talking about Free Wordpress Magazine | News Templates.

Wordpress Magazine templates are one of the most searched kind of templates. Sometimes i wonder why all this buzz about magazine templates, but the answer is simple. These templates rock! They fit on almost every kind of blogger, they are customizable and can give you your blog the push it needed.

So, on my occasional “fights” with google to find something useful to me i get a pearl like this one. To tell the truth, i was searching for decent Joomla templates for a website i was doing for the health centre where i was doing my nurse training work. Found a site that also had wordpress templates to download. Off course i couldn’t resist to give them a check. Then i found:

RevEVo News template:

This template is a news style wordpress template (or magazine style). I really enjoyed this template (off course, if not i wasn’t writing about it here ), it has the advantages of template like this, it’s clean and soft. It has a web 2.0 look and is widget ready.

The template comes with a tab system like the one im using on this blog. Has a feature option, and comes with a neat horizontal accordion! A nice feature indeed, and it looks good hehe.

RedEvo News comes in 5 different colours! You just need to choose the one it fits your blog best and download.

Blue (download),

Red (download),

Green (download),

Purple (download),

Orange (download)

Besides being a cool free wordpress magazine template it is not that known. So if you are using this template you won’t be using one of those more than recycled templates. This template will cause impact in your readers. They will say “wow, great new look” instead of “ah come on… im tired of seeing this template, boooo!”

In order to get the full potential of this template, you will need to do some file editing. You will loose sometime consulting the manual to know what you have to do. BUt don’t worry, what are 15 minutes in your busy life hey?
