WordPress Theme Resources

WordPress themes and frameworks for affiliate news, magazine and portal sites.

I’d rather not post endless lists of themes, as that’s not what this blog is all about. so this is where all theme-related links and resources are going to go, so check back here for updates. Themes for other CMS’s such as Drupal, Joomla, Typo will be added in future. I’ve not put much emphasis on the free themes, as that info is available elsewhere, and I really do think that the best themes are premium, or DIY jobs for coders.

Theme Frameworks

If you want to get really serious, then starting with a framework is going to save you much gnashing of teeth as you go along. Steeper learning curve, but very rewarding.
