The blogging world continues to demand that WordPress templates come out in favour of clarity and sophistication. One such WordPress template that has taken this particular brief on board is the gloriously named Dum Dum.

Dum Dum is a WordPress template that cannot be accused of being fussy or too cluttered. Instead, pastel colours dominate, with not too much of these to get in the way of the content that the blogger wants to include.

This is a two column theme, and the sidebar is on the right hand side. This is totally widget compatible. Widgets are the tiny add-ons that you can place on your blog, and which enable multimedia, and other important feature sot be added to your blog with the minimum of fuss.

The theme is incredibly simple and clean. One of the most famous blogs out there (Zen Habits) recently converted to a clean template. This has not affected the readership; in fact it has increased it. It is for this reason that Dum Dum would probably best suit a calm blog, such as one that deals in medical issues, or a self help blog. This is a very appealing WordPress Theme, with a strange name.

Nearly everyone these days is worried about the environment. The issue is on the global agenda, with the ideas and concepts around the problem being discussed on a daily basis.

This has lead to a number of bloggers choosing to set up a blog with an environmentally relevant topic attached to it. This means, in turn, that WordPress Theme designers have responded by creating WordPress templates that fit in with the eco theme.

One such WordPress Theme is Eco Blog. The colour green is prominent on this WordPress template as soon as you see it, so you are in no doubt as to what the theme is about.

Unusually for a WordPress theme, the sidebar is situated on the left hand side. It is still widget compliant, which means that if you were to take on the template, you could easily customise it within minutes, so that it meets your needs.

The header is particularly attractive, featuring splashing water on a blue background. The entire template is very pastoral, and creates a calm mood of nature and the environment. This means that it is best suited to blogs that cover these issues. The template is designed by the designer Sabiostar.

Some WordPress Theme designs are so incredibly artistic that they could well be described as avant garde. One such theme is the quite gorgeous Color Paper WordPress template. This theme is truly unique, and it is for that reason that many people will either find it very easy to fit into their blogging portfolio, or ridiculously challenging.

It is a standard two column template, but that is just about the only standard thing about it. The design is such that a reader would look at the page and see a number of sheets of coloured paper lying on a floor. It is a quite beautiful effect, and one that would grab anyone’s attention.

The sidebar is on the right hand side and totally supports the famous WordPress widgets. This offers you complete functionality with your blog, allowing you to add tools and other buttons to your sidebar, and therefore offer more exciting blog experiences for your readers.

This is primarily a visual blog, with a massive visual impact. If this is your thing, then it could be worth investigating from your point of view. The theme is on freethemelayouts.com. Head on over, and see if it will work for you.

Any self-respecting entrepreneur will have considered the merits of setting up an online casino at some point in their career. Many gamblers are defecting to the web, simply because placing a bet and monitoring your betting is so much easier online. Accounts can be set up in seconds, and money, virtual or otherwise, can be easily arranged. This makes the blogger or webmaster that has a theme that carries a strong gambling feel someone who is in an advantageous position.

The Casino template is particularly effective in this regard. You would find it very difficult to locate a template that is more suited to the gambling arena. In the header at the top right of the screen gorgeous graphic shows the symbols that one finds on playing cards, but in truly glorious colours.

This polished effect is continued with the completely utilitarian nature of the theme. The theme is perfectly widget friendly, with a sidebar that can be easily customised as long as you enable widgets in the admin area of your blog. This is complemented by a sumptuous and very readable content area. There is no chance of the content being missed. A truly attractive and well designed theme.

There are plenty of WordPress themes out there at the moment that purport to be elegant and sophisticated, however, only a few manage to make the grade. Classic Glassy gives it a good try, and comes out pretty well in the end.

This WordPress Theme is elegant and sophisticated, due to the fact that it does not have too much on the screen for the viewer to take in. The main area within the WordPress template is white, with the rest of the screen being totally black. This gives it that all elusive elegance that so many themes lack.

The sidebar, as with the majority of two column templates out there at the moment, is totally widget friendly. This means that all of the customisation options that the best blogs have can be used with this WordPress Theme too. This gives the theme that extra edge over the less well developed themes that are available.

Just don’t forget to enable widgets in your blog’s admin area if you want to take full advantage of them. Otherwise you may find that the WordPress template is not as usable as you would want it to be. Classic Glassy is developed by isoftwarereviews.com.

There has been a big move in recent times to using clean and unfussy templates in blogging. Some major bloggers out there have stripped back their operations, removing advertising and focusing on making the reading experience as clutter free as possible for the people who surf the net.

This helps readability, and prevents the content of the blog form being swamped by too many colours and advertising units. One such WordPress Theme that does this is Bella. This is a very clean theme, and one which works very hard to not overwhelm the viewer with too much in the way of visuals.

It is a two column WordPress template, but this is not immediately apparent due to the fact that the theme is so subtle, that edges are hard to find. The sidebar is located on the right hand side of the template. If yow is to have widgets enabled on this theme, you must make sure to enable them on the admin page of your WordPress blog settings.

The one true element of colour in this theme comes on the far left, where there is a colourful border. This is why the theme may not be for everyone.

One of the most elegant and erotic WordPress themes available on the market today is Sexy Chick. Perhaps the title gives it away just a little.

At the top of the theme, in the header area is the picture of an attractive nude woman. The rest of the theme gives off an air of sophistication and class, which kind of leads into the glamour aspect of the piece. This is conveyed through simple black and white tones that really give the theme a subtle, quite elegant air.
The theme is of course perfect for an adult blog. If one were to take on the theme for this reason, then it would be fair to say that it would be difficult to find a theme more appropriate.

The main background area of the content of the blog is in white. This gives the theme a clean and crisp feel. The sidebar continues this feel, due to its white colouring, and elegant font.

There is no RSS feed button to speak of, so this is something that would have to be added to the theme once you have downloaded it. Otherwise, an elegant theme, with an attractive feel.

Sometimes bloggers appreciate simplicity. There are so many blogs out there at the moment that seem to thrive on bombarding the readers with ads and text that is very visual, but actually way too complicated. Bloggers occasionally want a theme that sticks to letting the content do the work, rather than the flashy graphics.

Plainscape is one theme that can accommodate this particular desire. It is about as simple and clear as you would want a theme to be. The predominant feel is white. The colour is everywhere, giving the theme a nice, arctic feel that refreshes the screen.

The header sets the tone by being a very simple and not too over-the-top blue. This melds in nicely with the white that the rest of the theme is dominated by. The theme is two columns, with a large and appealing content area, and a clearly defined and attractive sidebar, that allows for as much widget compatibility as you could possibly want. The fonts are attractive (more of that appealing blue colour) and a little larger than one is used to. Amazingly, this only adds to the appeal.

One for the kind of blogger that just wants a simple, content rich site.

Every now and then a WordPress theme template comes along that goes against all of the normal expectations for themes. Many themes these days are clean and streamlined, with a nice, basic interface that does not get in the way of the content. Scruffy has an interface that does not affect the content, but it would be difficult to claim that it is in any way clean.

The header graphic catches the attention of the viewer immediately, having as it does some rather arresting spatter marks on the far right hand side. This is a highly stylised theme, and will not be to everyone’s tastes. However, it is arresting and entertaining to look at.

The theme has a perfectly functional sidebar on the right hand side. This sidebar has all that a blogger would need for a good selection of widgets to be introduced to the theme. If you do choose to add widgets to the theme (and almost every blogger does), just make sure that you set the theme to allow widgets in your admin page.

An arresting theme and one which will not be for everyone. However, very eye-catching and functional. It was designed by Cobus Bester.

Every now and then a WordPress theme comes along that is visually breathtaking. Readers are taken aback by the theme when they first see it, and continue to return so that they can enjoy the visuals, time and time again. One such theme is the Scroll template, a theme that is popular with just about anyone who wants to make a massive visual impact with their blog.

The background to the theme is brown in colour. The rest of the page is taken up by a scroll, hence the name. The scroll is highly authentic looking, and harks back to ancient times, when papyrus was used for communication, a bit of a nod to the past.

The header is immediately distinctive, having some lovely designer font work in it. This grabs the attention of the reader, and makes the template immensely reader-friendly.

The sidebar on the left of the screen has a distinct search area embedded in it. This makes the template very functional, as well as highly attractive. The Scroll theme is one for those who like to have a blog that has a distinctive look. It is in this regard that it does not disappoint.
