Themes that are Totally WordPress Compatible
Other themes that WordPress feels are totally compatible with that blogging platform.
In past articles, Linda mentioned that she uses the Hybrid Theme for WordPress. In this article, she points to other themes that WordPress feels are totally compatible with that blogging platform.
Simplicity: Single-Theme Themes
If you find a theme that speaks to you, then you don't need to meddle with colours, photos or mastheads. How easy is that? Here are a few WP-compatible themes that offer themselves up to you with a singular look. I'm only going to list a few of them here, as most of the themed WP options listed can be found at Themes Warehouse:
Aesthete: I've included this theme, as it includes portfolio and catalogue functionality. Custom header and footer are available through the theme options, and the theme has native support of several plugins. Note, however, that the theme has a Renaissance style that may not jive with your style of artwork. That said, you may be able to alter the look through CSS and a child theme.
Chinese New Year Tiger: This is a three-column WP theme that offers widgets, valid XHTML and CSS and is backward compatible to WP 2.5.
Peaceful Rush: I've seen this theme around the blogosphere for some time now, and it's a great theme for anyone who cannot or who will not spend time altering the original. WPDesigner has been around for a while, and his work is reliable. This is not the only theme he has available -- it's just the only one listed on the Codex page. So be sure to check out his other work while at his site. This blog contains two columns and is widget-ready.
Saint Patricks Day: If you're Irish or if you simply are stuck on celebrating anything green, you might like this theme. Brought to you by Themes Warehouse, this theme offers a two-column layout, valid XHTML and CSS, widgets and is backward compatible with WP 2.5.
