WordPress is often thought to be one of the best – if not the best – hosted blog services around. It has loads of users and lots of themes to choose from. This is great, but with so many themes at your disposal, how do you choose which one to go for? We take you through 10 great free WordPress themes to give you some ideas.WaterColor
This is a really cool, arty theme with lovely pastel colours and a pretty header design in the top right corner. It also has a really clear layout so all your posts look sharp and fresh, making the theme a good combination of alternative and traditional.
Infinity
This is a theme that might be good for a music blog as it’s very edgy and incorporates a slight psychedelic feel. Greens and yellows mix with purples and blues for a very attractive skin and the tag cloud makes it really easy to navigate posts according to topic.
Snapshot
If you are a fan of photography and plan to post lots of pictures on your blog, then this could be the theme for you. It is just as the name suggests – a great way of displaying snapshots with an option to rate the pictures you post there.
Versatility Lite
This could be a good theme for a creative firm such as an architecture practice as it is cool enough to be creative but has enough clean lines that it could still be used to promote a serious business.
Chara
This is another theme that would be great for photographers and arty types as it allows you to display pictures really easily alongside your posts and you can incorporate your Flickr pictures into it. This is another really easy to navigate theme.
Deskspace
This is definitely a theme for the younger crowd as it has a really youth-oriented feel and would be ideal for a blog about the trials of being a teenager or similar. The graphics are really fun and it’s very easy to read.
Notepad Chaos
As the name suggests, this theme includes a notepad design that means your posts are set out really clearly. It’s also a very creative theme, with a gorgeous header design that is certain to appeal to arty types and writers as well as those bloggers who are looking for something a bit different.
Mahusay
This would be a good theme for a business blog as it’s very clean and has a professional feel to it, but is still informal enough that there is some room for fun. The customisable header is a particularly good feature.
NewsTheme
This theme is set up to resemble a newspaper, complete with header and columns. This would be great for any budding journalists or anyone looking to start a blog on happenings in the news or the world around them. It has a crisp look to it that’s very appealing.
Irresistible
This is a funky yet simple theme that is easy on the eye and has a lovely design that allows you to incorporate blog posts, feeds, your favourite blogs and more.
