- KingLeo, on 01/08/2008, -3/+33"too bad wordpress dies every time it makes the front page"
This is such an ignorant comment. Wordpress has nothing to do with servers going down due to traffic. Each WP blogger installs it on their own server, so it's their server that dies and not WP. Do a little research before commenting because that just makes you look extremely ignorant.
P.s. Nice themes, btw. - waluum, on 01/08/2008, -4/+23Without a doubt one of the best, and most extensive, lists I've seen of quality WordPress themes.
- cr125er, on 01/08/2008, -17/+36Too bad the only theme we ever see is the "WordPress Error" theme.
It does load fast though, so they get points for failing with grace. - whalesalad, on 01/08/2008, -3/+20Yeah. I am sick of all the people making fun of WP when it's people like HostGator and Dreamhost who can't keep up.
- TheKorn2, on 01/09/2008, -2/+16wordpress doesn't die -- everybody is just using the "WORDPRESS CANNOT CONNECT TO YOUR DATABASE" theme!
- LegalSatire, on 01/08/2008, -6/+18Why does this misconception prevail? It's not Wordpress that's dying, it's the crappy webhosts that are hosting the content. Now, it may be the ease of setting up a Worpress site that encourages people to set up their blog on their own crappy servers, but Wordpress doesn't make pages die. Period.
- BlaenkDenum, on 01/09/2008, -1/+10WP-Super Cache
- MillionsLivio, on 01/08/2008, -1/+9Fantastic list, I set up wordpress for friends or clients that want to start blogging and it's always good to have a surplus of good themes around.
- BlaenkDenum, on 01/09/2008, -0/+7Use WP-Super Cache: http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache/
- Mike89, on 01/09/2008, -0/+5Ever taken your car to a mechanic? Yourself to a doctor/dentist? "Hah, a filling? I could do that with my eyes closed!"
- lazyfisherman, on 01/08/2008, -1/+6Wordpress can handle heavy loads. Not that I recommend going there and continuing to make Perez rich but look at Perezhilton .com. Millions of visitors. Wordpress.
- cyberwiz01, on 01/09/2008, -0/+4Although not built-in, wp-cache is a very good caching system for wordpress.
- inactive, on 01/09/2008, -0/+4serverdown, yeah that's what happens when you pay $15 per month for hosting. If you had a ***** clue your name would be uptime98.54%.
- Bamborzled, on 01/09/2008, -0/+4We know that WordPress isn't the entire problem, but it isn't exactly the most resource-conscious webapp in the world. The main culprit is, however, shared hosting. Really, anything can handle heavy loads, if you have the servers - just look at Ruby on Rails! (Kidding, kidding... or am I?)
- vibrokatana, on 01/08/2008, -3/+6So is drupal which rocks AND has built in caching so you don't get owned by sites like digg.
- vibrokatana, on 01/08/2008, -3/+5In other words: 100 themes that spam links back so I get false pagerank
- rexona, on 01/08/2008, -1/+3Thanks for sharing, there's some cool themes there
- evilish, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2Heyyy,
I've got a couple tutorial links in my del.icio.us collection - http://del.icio.us/evilish/wordpress .
I've done one of the tutorials in there. It's not too hard just need some basic PHP knowledge. The basic idea is to come up with the design, put it into CSS, slice the CSS into header, body, footer, sidebar and insert a bunch of php functions. For example The name of the post is < WP function post_title_blah > .
Anyways mate, good luck!
- Evilish - dadm110, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2Not funny anymore.
- ttamshadbolt, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2in that case create your own theme
- LessThanDan, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2Wordpress users who are smart will also utilize some kind of plugin that caches the pages during high-traffic, rather than having to regenerate them for every visit.
- papavb, on 01/08/2008, -1/+2Great list organized into nice categories, Yoghourt and Lust are my personal faves.
- asiegrist, on 06/20/2009, -0/+1I'd really like to make my own theme, but it seems pretty intensive. Anyone know of any good tutorials, besides just the wordpress site?
- taranfx, on 09/27/2009, -0/+1I did a new magical combo of plugins and the Result, the fastest possible caching - with Hyper Cache and DB cache Reloaded
http://www.taranfx.com/blog/best-fastest-alternati ... - LFTravel, on 01/09/2008, -1/+2not again
- spyrochaete, on 01/09/2008, -1/+2Props to the author of the linked page (smashedmagazine.com) for the good page design. I appreciated being able to see screenshots and often previews of all 100 themes. Thumbs up for convenience and usability.
- enginyazilan, on 01/08/2008, -3/+4wordpress is also free... i love free stuffs.. :)
- eyeonthewinner, on 01/09/2008, -0/+1Useful even for non-bloggers. Visual ideas from this can be taken into account for any website design. added to favorites
- inactive, on 01/09/2008, -2/+3People do not start blogs with the intention of hitting the front page of digg you idiot. Please die.
- hayuitsme, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1Impressive list of nice themes, thanks.
Here is a really nice one I like alot
http://digg.com/arts_culture/Free_West_Coast_Wordp ... - mannoo2009, on 04/10/2009, -0/+1this web hosting reviews is my best to get trusted web hosting companies lists, especially this hostgator review: http://www.webhostingreviewz.com/hostgator-review
- kinggimped, on 01/09/2008, -0/+1Great resource!
- jjk7288, on 01/09/2008, -0/+1This might sound bad, but the easiest way is to take a similar theme (or even the default Wordpress theme) and just modify it until it fits what you want. That way you know all the necessary code is there to make it work.
- hayuitsme, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1I like many of those, thanks for the list.
But this one is my favorite free wordpress theme
http://digg.com/arts_culture/Free_West_Coast_Wordp ... - katemag, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1Great title, 100 excellent wordpress themes. But i would like SM Editor do not exaggerate about number, because only half of the number are smashing.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -0/+1this is the most cool wordpress template i'd ever seen
- PersianCowboy, on 01/09/2008, -0/+1I've been using #27 on my blog for a while and its great.

- shahidsidd, on 01/31/2008, -0/+0gr8 list
- Blueshrike, on 01/08/2008, -3/+2That's a good rationalization.
- joshuaer, on 01/09/2008, -2/+1Now your website can look good 30 min before you get a wordpress error
- RKilla, on 01/09/2008, -1/+0No, it sucks.
- tnoy, on 01/08/2008, -10/+9100 themes that 100 people will see before the WordPress site dies.
- inactive, on 01/09/2008, -3/+1Excellent!! Just what I need for my Ron PaL fan website. !!!
