Free Templates

When it comes to themes for blogging it's very important to get the right one, simply because blogging is such a personal thing and the wrong template robs a blogger of the motivation to write.

I get a lot of people visiting my blog who are looking for wordpress themes and since I only produce html themes I thought it would be a nice service to mention another designer whose work I admire, and who does produce WP themes for free download.

Being a girl, and a big fan of shopping I particularly love the shopping manual and shopaholic themes, the cartoon characters in these templates are just perfect for any female blogger.

Not being an expert on Wordpress I think anyone who wants to know how to install a theme should check out their installation guide which seems quite detailed and includes some really informative screebshots.

I've been really pleased with the success of pixabella05 (Hawaii) and wanted to improve it with new color combinations but at the same time not take away the usefulness of the three column design.

So see what you think about the latest version which comes in two colors, green and pink. I decided to get rid of the white top and make it black, then blend this down the page becoming either green or pink at the bottom, a combination I think really works for this template.

I also changed the look of the search form in the header, the magnifying glass is unchanged, but the rest of the form looks more modern and I think gives the template a different look. In the next few days I'm going to release a version of this theme for Serendipity, but if anyone wants to make it into a Wordpress theme I'd be grateful.

You can download pixabella06 here, just right click and then 'save as'.
