The main index page gives you an image heavy magazine style layout that is definitely pleasing to the eye.  Each post page also displays the content in an easy to read format too.  You get a drop down navigation across the top of the layout – for your basic website links and the sidebar items also look nice.  Overall, if you are looking for a great new theme to go with your great new website idea – there might not be a better theme around.

This is the best free WordPress theme I have seen in a while.  It really does a great job at creating top commercial template features in a theme that is free for everybody to use.  You can learn more about it, and download it at its official website.

AllTuts

This theme, put out by Site5 looks great and gives off that vibe of a really professional theme.  The entire theme is very polished looking and doesn’t hold back when it comes to features.  You can grab it (and a few more great WordPress themes) over at Site5′s free WordPress themes website.

LightWord

I really love the simple themes out there too, so LightWord has to go on my list.  This theme comes with two or three column support, it is AdSense ready, and just looks really nice.  If you are looking for a sleek, yet simple WordPress theme, you could not go wrong with LightWord.  You can pick it up on its official website.

This is a ‘bit of a good surprise (well it was for me at least). Just found out that the latest edition of Ping! Zine should be in your mail boxes soon and I’ll have two featured articles inside. Be sure to look out for The Web Hoster’s Tool Belt and Firefox for Webmasters while reading this month’s edition.

One thing that never has gotten old yet is seeing my name in it. I really hope that doesn’t sound egotistical but I remember just being a fan of the publication and loving it – so actually being a part of the fun, it still gets me excited and hyped up.

Sidenote: Guess if it didn’t excite me like a gitty little school girl there wouldn’t be much point in doing it anymore.
