I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on this blog, but since January I’ve been on a wordpress Theme hunt. I have several blogs and as I prepared to finally update them to wordpress 2.3.3 I realized that some of the themes needed updating. They needed updating not only because the sites needed a new look, but because the themes I’d been using had flaws like loading the sidebars before the content or comments being way at the bottom of the page after a huge gap when viewed in IE. Plus a few of the themes weren’t widgetized and now that I use widgets for my sidebars I’m in love with them. It certainly makes it easier to switch themes quickly if you are using widgets.
I found a lot of themes that I liked. In fact I have a test blog that’s loaded with about 100 themes as I just couldn’t decide which ones to use for the blogs I was updating. LOL
One of the sites were I found a few themes that I liked was Top WP Themes. If you are looking for themes they have a selection of some of the best wordpress themes around.
The site is updated with a new theme almost daily so if you are looking for the perfect theme for your blog look through their archives and I’m sure you’ll find one that suits your needs. Of course you can also bookmark the site and visit it regularly to see what new themes have been posted too. That’s what I’m going to do as I’m still looking for a new theme for this site.
What I like about this site is that you can also look up themes by category. If you are looking for a two column theme, a three column theme, Adsense ready, fixed width or widget ready theme just click on the appropriate theme category and you’ll find dozens of designs. You can preview the themes before you download them if you want to be sure the theme has all the right features.
I’ve already spent some time browsing the site and I think this Rainbow Garden theme is kind of cute. It would certainly be a different look for this blog!
If you are new to wordpress and aren’t sure how to install new themes there’s a helpful installation guide on the Top WP Themes website. They also offer support for some of the themes listed on their site. That’s always helpful!
So if you’re looking for a new look for your wordpress site be sure to check out Top WP Themes. I’ll bet you find a few themes that you like – maybe you’ll even end up with a collection of themes like I did!

I’m a big fan of the Options theme by Justin Tadlock. Loads of customization options and fully widgetized!
