About this Theme Review
This is the much anticipated Round 2 of the WordPress Premium Theme Framework Comparison, which has dozens of valuable comments appreciating the WPMU DEV review, correcting errors (that I then updated in the post), telling me how I skipped that person’s favorite one, and asking for additional insights. That’s exactly what I want this one, Round 2, to be.

Test Drive WordPress Themes Without Changing Your Site Appearance

by Seth Czerepak October 6^th, 2012 Leave a comment

If you’re at all like me, it is extremely stressful to install a new WordPress Theme. I never know when something is going to break or if the theme just won’t look like I want right out from install. Not to mention that if your users are navigating your site and see the theme changing every few minutes, they might assume your site has some kind of a multiple personality disorder.

Not cool.

The Problem With The Yearly Default Themes

by Thord Daniel Hedengren October 4^th, 2012 7 Responses

Last week I talked about the yearly default WordPress themes, the recently released Twenty Twelve being the flavor of 2012. At least that’s the plan, December 5th is the launch date for WordPress 3.5 which will be the first version that’ll carry the Twenty Twelve theme by default, so they should be able to get that out this side of New Year’s.
