We like this Free WP Theme because it is so versatile. I am very big on WordPress Themes that are designed to let you customize them (unless you want to get into the code to make changes which the average person can’t do) and this one has a lot of flexibility built in to it. WordPress Constructor Theme, it's many-in-one theme (six layouts, configured colors, fonts and slideshow, widget ready). Build your own theme on settings page. For WordPress version 2.8+ (include 3.0)

5) MyMag by iWebex
Click Here for the Mymag Free WordPress Theme Download
This is one of the Free WP Themes in the popular Magazine style.
It is not as bold or as Flexible as a few of the Professional Magazine Themes like the BoldNews by Woothemes and it lacks some of the functionality I am used to in Magazine themes but it is still really nice. MyMag is a WordPress Magazine Theme with 2-3 Columns, lovely Javascript effects such as Slideshow, Article Sliders, Newsticker, Image Mouseover Effects, Dropdown Menu and many more. myMag is offers 3 widget-ready sidebars, a big option set with custom logo uploader, 3 colour schemes, display options, advertising options and much more! Uses post-thumbnails to let you upload pictures very easy.

7) Suffussion by Sayontan
Click here for the Suffusion Free WordPress Theme Download
Suffusion is one of the Free WP Themes that I have recently used myself. It is a bold design, almost the inverse of the WP-Creativix design above. One note is be sure this is what you want. While the colors can be changes (using the orange main theme color is dramatic) it still is heavy and I am second thinking my use of it for the website I am using it on. But it is one of those elegant browser-safe free wp themes with a power-packed set of options. It has 8 widget areas, one-column, two-column and three-column fixed-width formats, 10 pre-defined templates, 16 pre-defined color schemes (green, red, orange, purple, 2 shades of blue and 2 shades of gray, each on light and dark backgrounds), two customizable multi-level drop-down menus for pages, categories and links, featured posts, a magazine layout, a customizable tabbed sidebar, widgets for Twitter, Social Networks and Google Translator, threaded comments, translations in many languages and RTL language support..

Producer by Asmedia
Click here for the Producer Free WordPress Theme Download
Producer is another one of those highly flexible free WP themes and in reality I think it is one of the best in terms of flexibility while retaining a keen sense of style that can be used to build a standard blog with 4 layout options (includes a photo slideshow layout) or a magazine style blog with 3 static layout options and the ability to build your own widgets based layout. 6 possible configurations for left and right sidebars. Ability to hide one or both sidebars on 404, index, search results, single post, and static pages. Includes page templates for additional layout options. Re-arrange header section items ( logo/slogan row, horizontal menu row, search bar row, hidden leader board row). 10 featured category slots available. Sticky posts, feedburner, youtube… Producer provides an attractive design out of the box. For even greater flexibility use the CSS styling tool (not included) to create a completely new and unique look for your site without editing a single line of code.

9) Comment Central by frankschrijvers
Click here for the Comment Central Free WordPress Theme Download
This is a very simple Theme Format. While these styles of WP Themes do not fit my personal needs they are great when really what you want to do is have a blog and communicate out to people. I have seen this theme used by a lady who lives 10 miles from anyplace and has a hobby farm. Her blog is enjoyable to read and you stay focused on what she has to say and what new pictures she posts. High quality WordPress theme. Colorful, grunge, and stylish theme. two columns, left sidebar dropdown menu and widget-ready.
