ReplyDeleteAll those blogs are also very eager to interact with each other, which opens up the service to a lot of user engagement that creates even more activity and content for the site.
ReplyDeleteI can't find several of these when I go into my Wordpress admin panel under appearance/theme. Is there a special code? I do the theme search within wordpress but ones like Balloon, for example, will not appear. Any tips?
ReplyDeleteThanks! There are so many you listed that seem perfect for my revamping of my blog (much neglected)
Thanks!
Jenna
You need to click on the name of the theme you want and download the theme.
DeleteSo click on the name of a theme (in orange above the screenshot), locate the download link, then back in your WP dashboard under themes you will see the option to upload a theme.Upload the theme you downloaded (The entire zip file don't extract the files).
Hope that gets it done for you.

Hi,Great list of wordpress themes.Please suggest me which theme is better for SEO purpose ?
ReplyDeleteI am confused... I thought these were all FREE wp themes, as the title says, but some of them (like Vitrine and Newslayer) seem to cost $19.99 when you click on the orange title to learn more.
