- Pifman, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Some of those are pretty clean indeed.
- wphj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Yeah, I like Ocean Mist, I use it on my own blog.
- Bundini, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3clojita is pretty much the man.
- wimbet, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2I really liked Clean2land. http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/2576/clean2land-20/

- ClarkLab, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1yea I think my next article is just gonna be any sites, not just wordpress
- FeartheKnighted, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18"20 WordPress Themes That Don't Disappoint"
Except when the site they are on dies after 20 diggs... - beers, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8how about "20 times disappointed by wordpress" cuz the site got dugg under?
- SiRwhilms, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13This is a Top X list, therefore the correct title would be, "20 KILLER WordPress Themes You Could NEVER Live Without."
- Aceanuu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Ehem, add a few "!!!"s to it and a subtitle that says "Title says it all" and then you've got a bona fide Digg homepage story.
- Darmichar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Throw in a 'BREAKING!', an 'AMAZING!' and any of the following; Mac, Digg, Microsoft, Linux or Picture.
At some point that title alone would either be able to magically cure cancer, or create a black hole that consumes itself and everything around it.
- loneraven, on 10/11/2007, -8/+31http://www.duggmirror.com ?
Edit: nope, digg me down- DropTheOxygen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Once you tell digg what to do, you get the antidiggeffect, just like with the magic numbers.
/me diggs you up
- DropTheOxygen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Once you tell digg what to do, you get the antidiggeffect, just like with the magic numbers.
- tbeseda, on 10/11/2007, -14/+1STOP Digging it up; you can't even load the page! It died before 80 diggs and don't give me that "I'm saving it for later" BS!
- mattmcm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8People DO digg things for later. That's like, you know, the whole point of bookmarking?
- tbeseda, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1digg=bookmark?
- gafasiesornivek, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3I'm Steve Jobs, here to tell you that for a limited time, you may smash me in the jogwheel.
- Scatropolis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1It took me forever to make one that fit the rest of my site, next time.
- heavyness, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6nothing to exciting, but a clean theme you can totally customize...
http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/- poppa, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1that's pretty cool, thanks for the link.
- brianez21, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1What about Hemmingway ! It is an awesome theme and very customizable !
http://warpspire.com/hemingway
Ran it on my own blog for a while before I learned to make my own. - nosebleed, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1They didn't include my horrible theme. No digg.
http://managedtasks.com/wpthemes/blog/index.php?wptheme=Windstorm - spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2I gotta say, I've seen only one WordPress theme I've ever liked, and that's the one I use on my blog. The theme I'm talking about is the incredible Tranquility by Roy Tanck.
http://www.roytanck.com/
In case anyone's interested in seeing my customisations:
http://blog.demodulated.com/- WraythX, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Um - both the original and your modifications do not work in Safari - see here: http://www.frater.com/sidebar.png - that makes it a rubbish theme from my perspective.
- spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Whoa, that's a real shame. I appreciate the screenshot! I'll see if there's anything I can do, though I don't have a Safari test bed.
- nugge7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I've always been partial with K2.
http://www.getk2.com/- flamov, on 10/11/2007, -0/+02K rocks =]
- reparsed, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I'm disappointed.
- lkmbrd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I like the one based on Elite Circle:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/3056/elite-circle/ - hfranco, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2They forget this one:
http://www.digg.com/apple/iTheme_The_Mac_look_alike_Wordpress_Theme- WraythX, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I am using that on my blog (http://blog.frater.com/top-10-lists/top-online-blogger-resources) - their own blog site is pretty damned awsome too. iTheme is very easy to get going.
- xeno439, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Here are my five favorite free wp themes
http://www.initialize.biz/?page_id=72 - Linguino, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Every one of these themes has disappointed me. I've only seen a few WP themes that are both easy on the eyes, and clean. The Drupal Garland theme that was ported comes to mind... Though that's a mess you do not want to step into [just search for Wordpress Garland].
- Karmalary, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I've tried out several of these. Right now I'm using a modified version of RockinSuckerfish2 from RockinThemes http://rockinthemes.com/rockinsuckerfish2-2%20column-suckerfish-free-wordpress-theme-released/
- culley, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Ive used a couple of those before i prefer the one im using at http://www.moddaily.co.uk
- thatsiebguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I like Brajeshwar's theme, use it for my site. http://www.brajeshwar.com/
- JelleK, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0http://share.clarklab.net.nyud.net:8080/articles/wordpress/20-wordpress-themes-that-dont-disappoint/
- jainmanoj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0What about my blog - www.manoj.co.in which is in wordpress with semiologic theme.
- Infectia, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Only 20 ? Nah, how about 80+ quality themes instead ?
http://digg.com/design/58_Favourite_Wordpress_Themes - eightgames, on 10/11/2007, -1/+120 themes, all disappointing.
There are much better themes available elsewhere... - Higgins, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Meh. a few gems but not all of them. I prefer the one I use at rick.wordpress.com, Freshy, you can get it here: http://www.jide.fr/english/
- gaudette22, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Now anyone know how to use these? Seems complicated to have to download, install, mess with CSS or whatever. Anyone know of a simple walk-through to use one of these (I'm just using the offered "Presentations" right now). Thanks!
- skubasteve, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0took forever to load.. and the themes aren't that good at all.
- AndrewE, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Nice list. I've just finished my list of 100 favourite themes: http://digg.com/design/100_Astonishing_Wordpress_Themes
check it out! - barbarac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1can I just say that this is pretty lame?
- PillowFight, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15 days and the site is *still* dead. Damn. Nobody has a working mirror?
- tymez, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1The link is dead. Needs work.
- sandhuharvey, on 07/20/2008, -0/+0Link is dead :S
http://free-3g-iphone.net - ResimYukle, on 07/20/2008, -0/+0i think mangoorange is cute http://www.mangoorange.com/resources/i3theme/
im using it on there http://www.siyasite.com/ take a try on... free - hayuitsme, 12 minutes ago, -0/+1I really like this theme, the nicest I have seen in a long time.
