Infinity template is top notch… liking the transparencies
Eric, 09 June 2010
Hello all,
Where should I load the zipfile of the theme I want to display on my site and where/how do I link it?
Thank you
Eric
Deepak, 04 April 2011
Hey Eric, You just got to upload the root folder of the theme you want to use into the /wordpress_root/wp-content/themes/ folder.
Then just login to your wordpress admin and activate the theme by going to the themes menu on the left of the menu side bar.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Deepak
Darren Hoyt, 05 October 2008
Thanks for the mention of Agregado, and a belated ‘great job’ on the Noupe.com redesign. I do so much reading via RSS readers, I always neglect to notice design changes.
ilunla, 01 October 2010
thank for great themes. :D
insic, 05 October 2008
wow! this themes rocks. i love it.
Pavan Kumar, 05 October 2008
The magazine theme really looks great, but they need much more work out behind the screens… Apart from that , I liked Massive Press

Ahmad, 05 October 2008
So many hours were invested in the Guzel magazine and its control panel. Thanks for featuring it..really appreciated. Good luck :)
ilyas TEKER, 05 October 2008
Great!
thanks for sharing :)

The themese look very nice but i wonder how they are for the user when trying to use them on a site?
What i have found is that many themes look very nice but when a user who is not totally web savvy tries to use them they are very hard for them to use.
Nathan Beck, 06 October 2008
Yeh they are great themes. It’s funny to look back at the tremendously boring stock themes you could only pick up a few years ago. But with WordPress’ master success, everyone and his dog is out making themes!
freshness, 06 October 2008
the first one is impressive. nice job!
Patricia Skinner, 06 October 2008
Truly lovely designs. I need to start a new blog just to use one! lol
Fat Man, 06 October 2008
These are truly some great themes and I have seen many more that people are selling that can’t even touch these.
You can easily surmise that the designers enjoyed the creation of these themes by the artistic depth that was utilized.
I plan on making more sites in the future and I will be using at least one of these themes if not more.
letrodectus, 06 October 2008
so many great themes! thanks for sharing
Brandon Cox | eGrace Creative, 06 October 2008
Awesome list. The problem is not being able to manage enough sites to use them all!!
Matt Chandler, 06 October 2008
what a great list of themes. Please keep this type of information up. I really like it.
Joe, 06 October 2008
You really think these are good enough to be considered premium? Wow.
Bill, 06 October 2008
Awesome list, I just posted up a new free WordPress theme here:

See, one thing I really appreciate in your blog, is that when you post series like this one, I don’t have the “seen before” feeling.
Love ya for that! :-)
I’m always interested in new themes (inspiration and just curiosity!) and I am going to check out the demo of half of the ones your posted.
By the way, have you heard of the Option Theme? It’s the free theme I used, by Justin Tadlock. I love it ;-)

Wow, there are quite a few on here that I haven’t seen before.

To be honest, a lot of these are actually better than many of the ‘premium’ themes on offer.
Nice collection!

Great Collection of wordpress themes. It will help me to improve my wordpress blog
Dr Bikash, 08 December 2008
This is an awesome list.
Actually I tried a few of them earlier.
But the problem is it takes a lot of work and I can never get enough sites to apply them.
I think I need a theme spinner now.
Well done and keep it up.
