TT #27: WP themes I like (part 1)

After I had some minor (*cough*) problems with my blog this week, I decided to do another blog design-related TT.
I recently talked to a friend, who isn’t using WordPress, and she complained that most WP themes look the same to her. Of course I told her nicely how absolutely wrong that was.
Meanwhile, after looking through the whole contents of the WordPress Theme Viewer once again (109 pages…), I tend to admit that the impression is not wholly wrong after all. There are lots and lots of very similar WP themes out there.
On the other hand, and here is the good news, there are also some really quite well-designed and distinctive-looking ones to be found. I didn’t even manage to narrow it down to only 13, so this is Part One of my list of WordPress Themes I Like. Part Two follows next week.

Some of these are really lovely. I like the “Forever Autumn” and the “Clueless” samples.
I’m glad you were able to get your blog working again. The post about it disappearing showed up in my reader and when I went to see what was up, it was really, really gone! Scary stuff.

Ooh, those ARE nice. I like the first, and of course, the red one! I’m still not ready to switch from Blogger, though.
happy TT, S. Hope the week’s been good; you’ve been quiet.

I LOVE that Forever Autumn! Saw it on someone’s T13, too, and forgot to mention to them how much I liked it LOL!

Great themes, we almost have the same taste. Happy TT.

I really like one, but then I’m one of the four people in the world that apparently has an easier time reading light text on a dark background. It’s more soothing to whatever eye issues I have going on, but I hear most others have trouble with it. So leaving that one be, I liked 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. We have very similiar taste, as it’s not that I didn’t like the others, I just liked those better.
Can’t wait to see what you finally settle on.
Happy TT

There is still a lot of sameness. I’ll stick with my home-brew thanks. Happy TT.

What a great list! Nice to see so many fun colors and textures. I love Word Press - and the community is really wonderful too.

These are all stunning. Can’t wait for part 2! My favorites are Summertime, Rusty, Clueless, Pink Beauty, Zen and Fall Season.
