I’ve seen it happen so often. People have a great blog, and at some point, they decide they need a new look and feel.

Free Wordpress themes are a dime a dozen these days, but every so often, you’ll run across a theme so great, you just can’t believe it’s free. I’ve seen other Wordpress Theme lists, and most of them duplicate themes, so I’ve decided to compile a list of what I think are the 35 best free wordpress themes that you might not have seen yet.

You’re also welcome to customize the themes as you like, and as good as these themes already are, with a little customization, you can have a stellar site with very little work – just make sure you read the licensing disclaimers before you go too crazy.

WordPress provides designers utmost control over a theme – resulting in unprecented flexibility in the layout and design direction he or she can take. WordPress – in the title – is inside parentheses because the designs you’ll see below are wonderful designs despite of the publishing platform they use (which just so happens to be WordPress).
In this collection, you’ll find some (45 of them to be exact) of the most attractive, creative designs by talented designers who push the limits of WordPress theming and raise the bar for the rest of us.
