On the off chance the 3 1/2 people that check out my blog once in a blue moon are thinking of starting their own anytime soon, a few places to look for some outstanding, professional, free WordPress themes.

Yes, I only mention wordpress. Why? Because. I’ve been using WordPress since its early days, its the easiest blog platform I’ve ever run across and between the talent in theme building and plugins in the WP community, just about anything you can think up, can be done, or already has.

I just ran across Site5 as I was getting my websites back up and running and since I never stick with one design for very long, it seemed the perfect chance to change to what you currently see here, the Colorbold theme. They’re actually a web hosting company, but have released 5 fantastic themes. Everything from a Holiday theme (Xmas), to a business theme (Wise Business), with a couple designs more typical of standard blogs (Colorbold and Rockwell) as well as a web portfolio theme (Webfolio) which really caught my eye, but there is no way I could do it any justice if I was to attempt to use it here.

Also, Woo Themes. They create some incredibly unique, professionally designed themes, for sale. They have quite a nice variety of for free themes, as well. By looking at them, you’d would swear the free themes belong on the pay side. A few of my favorite WooFreebies are TypeBased, Bueno, Mainstream and Meta-Morphosis. If I could afford it, I would have purchased some of the for sale themes by now, I’m sure.

I’ll dive into some of my favorite plugins a little later on. Just make sure to check out these two sites when searching for a professional or premium, free wordpress theme. If none of those are your cup of tea, there are many great looking themes at the WordPress Free Theme Directory as well.

Happy Hunting …

If I missed other sites offering well designed, premium themes for free, let me know.
