9 free Wordpress themes

It looks like Brian Gardner, the developer of the Revolution theme series has decided to release one for the public. It’s a blueish 3 column widget-ready theme designed more for the end-user than being used as a web template for a designer.

Here’s a screen shot of the theme :

As you can see this theme is designed with 2 sidebars on the right, a big AdSense box below the related links area - not a very high CTR area, a big header and lots of space for the content . The banner in the header is well placed but I don’t think that the AdSense ads in the post, at the bottom of the post  serve their purpose quite well because it’s an area with a very low CTR. Aside from that, it features a series of things that most themes lack, like :

• A cross-browser compatible navigation menu. ( I’m really a sucker for these menus )
• The possibility of choosing your layout, either 2 sidebars on the left, content in the middle and one sidebar on the left and one on the right or the layout you’ve seen in the screen shot, 2 sidebars on the right.
•  The layout works flawless in IE and FF ( latest versions).

From my point of view, it’s a really nice release but it’s nothing compared to the premium Revolution themes. As an aside to the Wordpress Revolution theme, it looks like iThemes have also release a set of 8 free Wordpress themes. Have a look : iThemes Wordpress themes
