    I just want some opinions, what do you think makes a good free WordPress theme? Any experiences? I'm wanting to use a few for link bait, so I'm interested in designing up some nice web 2.0 themes to give away for free.

    Please get back to me - and let me know if this seems like the wrong section :D

    Have a look on wordpress theme website. Check out the most popular themes. I think most people either like simplicity or something that's original and really stands out.

    It must look good. I've seen a lot of people create stuff that doesn't look great.

    Give it a wow factor when people look at it and it will be successful.

    Also shouldn't have to many colours, should just stick with two and use that with your whole theme. That will stop any colour problems.;)
