One of my favorite things about WordPress are the themes that users have access to. Overall, themes are generally broken down into one of three categories: free themes, premium themes, and custom themes. You’ll find free themes littering the blogosphere (especially the good ones), so the lack of originality can often leave a bad impression when people first visit your blog. If you are serious about blogging, this of course leaves bloggers the option of paying a lot of money for a custom built theme, or purchasing a premium theme for their website that won’t be found very many places.
Well, if you are looking for a nice theme for reporting the news, let me introduce you to the Premium News theme. There are a lot of wonderful things about this theme, but here are a few of my favorites:
- Uses jQuery technology to allow readers to display/hide the posts.
- Built-in Video Player to publish your YouTube easily and seamlessly.
- Integrated Banner Management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice.
- Widget-ready
This theme also features an Options panel that allows anyone to set the following from their control panel:
- Color Scheme (7 different color schemes are included with the standard package)
- The layout of your homepage
- The amount of posts being displayed on your homepage
- Which categories to display in the highlighted areas of your homepage
- Integrate your Flickr & Feedburner accounts
- Banner Ad Management
If you want to use plugins, the theme supports the following WordPress plugins “out of the box”:
