There are many templates out there that trade in on the Windows format and look. This is because the format appeals to bloggers who want to publish on tech issues and news. The Windows Vista Wordpress Theme is one such template, and it is very effective. This is primarily because it has a gorgeous colour scheme, dominated by the kind of rich blue you can see gleaming form the screens of laptops and PCs the world over.

The rest of this Wordpress template is a little more subdued. Interestingly for a template, it has a sidebar that is located on the left hand side of the screen rather than the right. The content area makes up the rest of the theme. The overall effect is very minimalist and clean.

The sidebar is also fully enabled when it comes to widgets. These little devices and add-ons are absolutely essential if you want to get any mileage out of your blog. The readers of your blog will appreciate the opportunity to gain more knowledge and entertainment due to the fact that you have included widgets.
This is a very accessible template, and one which quite easily mimics the Windows feel very accurately.

Sometimes a Wordpress Theme comes along that is so ridiculously striking that it is guaranteed to get everyone’s attention. Modern Poison is such a template, coming as it does with a host of graphical touches that really lift it head and shoulders above other templates in the genre.

It is hard to say which kind of blog this Wordpress template would be best suited to. Perhaps its bright colours and heavily stylised RSS icon meet the needs of a blogger who writes about fashion. Or maybe the whole thing is best suited to a blogger who likes writing about astronomy.

In any case, it gets your attention. The RSS icon itself is definitely something you should at least take a look at.

The sidebar is on the left hand side, which is a little unusual normally, but seems perfectly at home in this template. This sidebar is totally widget compliant. Widgets are used by bloggers to add functionality to what they do. From installing a calendar to updating Twitter Tweets, widgets can pretty much make your blog as user-friendly and accessible as one would want.

This is an unusual theme, but one that grabs your attention, and doesn’t let go.

In the run of the mill world of Wordpress themes that gives us plenty to look at but not too much to work with, now and then a truly striking theme comes around. This is the kind of theme that stops casual blog visitors in their tracks. The theme will generally impress anyone that sees it, and give your blog the kind of buzz that is hard to replicate artificially.

One such theme is In Fantasy. This will get your attention immediately just because it looks so fantastic. The theme has an absolutely stunning header graphic that can only be describes as some sort of solar system remnant. Whatever it is, it gets your attention, and basically demands that you look into the blog a little further. A perfect example of a design that works to engage readers.

The sidebar is located on the right hand side of the screen and supports widgets fully. Just make sure that you enable widgets in your admin area of the blog that you are working on. It is easy to forget to do this, and download widgets that seemingly do not work.

Topped off by a clean and clear content area, In Fantasy is pretty fantastic.

Technology continues to impress theme designers when it comes to Wordpress. The trend towards creating themes that pick up on the technology aspect and run with it is growing steadily. One such theme that leans heavily on this high tech feel is Orange Techno.

This theme has been worked so that it impresses anyone who likes clean, computer linked lines in their themes. This means those people who like to buy gadgets and applications that are futuristic in their looks. This theme has all of this in bags, and basically makes one think of a computer interface, albeit one from the distant future.

The sidebar has exciting and well-produced orange links. This gives the whole thing a nice, contemporary feel. It is hard to do colour well when it comes to templates. However, the designers of this particular theme have managed this well, bringing a nice splash of orange to the overall feel of muted, cool colours.

The sidebar is very functional, and is located on the right hand side of the screen. It is of course highly widget friendly, like many of the newer themes these days. The whole template is clean, futuristic, and highly attractive.
