Hi, there are a number of great free themes out there. Google 'free wp themes' and you should find quite a number of sites offering some. I would recommend the free ones done by designdisease. These themes are very well coded and far better than average free themes. * Also, Derek Punsalan does some pretty sweet, rather minimalist ones. I also happen to design custom themes; if you're interested PM me. (portfolio samples here) Cheers!
If you are able to modify Gossip City then it can be same as Chow otherwise Blogohblog's theme is what you can modify to work like chow and money
Can I ask everybody what it is that you like exactly about these themes? I find them nice as well but $700 seems a bit pricey to me.
Its very hard to find a free one, recently i got a custom coded and designed theme here and its worth the money
Very nice Amit. Only thing I"d change is put the subscribe on first fold and alittle more noticeable. You have enough adsense for that screen space and subscribers is what its all about. http://www.amitbhawani.com/ 2 blogs one domain?
yep, 2 blogs 1 domain , because i want the blog to become famous in some time and the homepage later to be my portfolio [future plans] I will get the subscribe option in the top now, let me know if any other changes are required.
Nice does come at a price. I don't know why you would want to be a copycat and use a similar template though. It will be a lot better to be more original.
True. I have alot of projects on the go and just want something temp that I can modify until I get one coded. Great themes do add to a blog but if your content stinks they won't come back and if your content is great they will come back / subscribe.
I would recommend Design Disease... their free themes are amazing... see it live here http://www.minterest.com/ and here http://www.insightarticles.com and here http://www.maheshone.com
I have the same problem but other bloggers said you have to adjust some things to make it work and I have no idea how to do it. My husband just started a blog and he is learning how to adjust the html codes, he downloaded this design but he had to delete and save pics to get it to work. He is about to ad the 5 tabs at the top and design it. He knows how to do html but the problem is getting him to stay with it. I have been asking him to help me for ages and yet I still have the same old template.
