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.

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

Demo | Download

2 – Daily Planet

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.

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.

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.

This is one of those rare days now, where i can stay up late. With these extra hours, i decided to do a thing that i have mentioned before, but i have kept delaying it: Creating a BANS template!

I haven’t been working much with BANS, so i haven’t researched a lot about it, but one thing is for sure, the BANS templates around are a complete crap! Well, at least the majority of them. The only decent ones around are…. Guess what? Paid!!!! No surprise here…

This Saturday, the first stable wordpress 2.5 was finally released. After some delays and two beta release candidates, wordpress as reached another new level.

I could mention the new features that come with the new version, and how awesome the new control panel was, but i won’t do that. First, im not in the mood for that, and second, my first impression on the new cpanel was not that good lol.

Last week, with the release of the final version of the options theme, i decided to upgrade to the wordpress RC-2 in order to properly use the new theme, which was WP 2.5 specific.

Good evening fellow bloggers!

This has been a busy day for me. I have spent the last hours configuring the new design for the blog and updating the wordpress version of this blog.

A new version of the wordpress 2.5 has been released. It is in the RC-2 Version now. Still in beta though. But still, i decided to upgrade the blog. First i did a full backup of my hosting (a thing that i haven’t done in a long long time). Downloaded a backup of the blog’s database, checked for compatibility issues with some plugins i run here, and deactivated the problematic ones. Then i did the upgraded with no problems at all.

Justin Tadlock has become one of my favourite wordpress templates designer. He produces a style of templates that im very fond of: magazine style templates.

Recently, he created what he calls, a super theme. It is called Options theme, and it is a wordpress magazine style template. It is not only a magazine, it is a versatile theme that will fit every blogger need. As Justin says, the options theme is like Structure (the theme im currently using) on steroids!

I love searching for new wordpress templates, and specially magazine style templates and preferably, free templates. Unfortunately, they are not very common, but from time to time there is a new release.

It is called BrandFordMagazine from Michael Oeser. The theme combines the best of other three wordpress magazine templates:

The revolution theme from Brian Gardner, The structure theme used on this blog, and Mimbo Theme from Darren Hoyt.

The layout of theme is very similar to the mimbo theme, which was the pillar of this new template.

This theme will require from you some editing, but nothing of extraordinary.
