More about Free WPTHEMES Downloads and Commercial Themes

We have a lot of great FREE WPTHEMES Downloads at our Website (www.wpthemesdeals.com)/

In my opinion there are several places to really consider spending money on your blog. The first is on the WPTheme you use and the second is on quality keyword research/niche marketing software.

Most people only consider the obvious aesthetic look of the WPThemes they are looking at and therefore it is easy to select one of the many quality Free WPThemes downloadsavailable and feel satisfied.

But the reality is that a Commercial (Professional WPTHEME – one you purchase) can pay for itself many times over in the following ways:

1) Professional Themes have professional support, Forums, etc. Most Free WPThemes Downloads don't

2) Professional WPThemes usually have much more flexibility when it comes to layout and design. You can waste days, weeks, trying to figure out just how to get the header and the sidebars of a Theme to look the way you want if the Admin Panel and the Theme Flexibility is not very good. Suddenly the $25 or $50 you saved on the free theme is pennies on the hour.

3) A Professional WPTheme often has much better built in SEO, Widgets and pre set up monetization methods

If you want to check out some professional themes to see what I mean, Click on this link to check out Woo Themes great selections 

On the Keyword side of things, you put a lot of work into your blog and Theme and Content. but it doesn't do any good if no one finds your blog or articles. To make sure that your blog and articles are visible on the WWW you need the search engines to find you. and to do that requires that you understand your niche market – How people that are looking for information or goods like those on your blog- talk, communicate and search. Because if they use the term "Paper clip" when looking for paper clips but you only talk about "Paper Fastening Devices" no one looking for paperclip will ever find your site!

There are a lot of free keyword tools out there but they really only do bits and pieces of the whole job. As in the example above you will waste tons of time only to do half the job you need to trying to do this critical process correctly!

If you want people to find Your WPTheme and articles and blog and products, it pays to get a quality Keyword Software System that automates the entire process for you. You can go to www.keywordsoftwareguide.com and check out some of their free reviews and guides on Keyword Software.

FREE WP Theme Review and Download of the Erudite Theme


Here is the FREE WP Theme Review and Download of the Erudite Theme

The Erudite Wordpress Theme

 Current Erudite WP Theme Version: 2.7.2

Last Updated: 2010-07-08

Over 30,000 downloads!

The Erudite  Free WP Themes download link is at the end of the page.More Free WP Themes Reviews and downloads are available at www.wpthemesdeals.com every day!

The Erudite WP Theme is a little different then a lot of the Free WP Themes that we have reviewed here at www.wpthemesdeals.com. The Erudite Wordpress Theme lacks a lot of the splash and visual appeal of the Magazine or News Styled Themes that have become so popular.

But The Erudite WP Theme is designed this way for a reason. The Erudite WP Theme is designed for Writers who want to be read and to entice the readers to do just that!

We like the clean lines of this WP Theme and the non commercial nature – But the three column widgetized Feature lets you throw a little bit of ads or what not in there without being intrusive on your readers.

Features

But The Erudite isn’t one of those minimal themes that might as well not have a style sheet included. Features include:

  • 960px (em-based) grid layout (inspired by, but not using, 960.gs)
  • Non-bloggy home page, giving prominence to the most recent post and excerpts of the rest.
  • Painstaking attention to typography
  • Carefully crafted font stacks
  • A dark theme option (new in 2.0)
  • Menu uses WP 3.0’s new Nav Menu feature, or falls back to page or category-driven menus
  • Dynamically created pullquotes
  • Epigraph support (new in 2.5)
  • Visual editor style (new in 2.5)
  • Dynamically show & hide the secondary content that would ordinarily reside in a sidebar
  • Pretty section divider fleurons
  • A 3-column, widgetized footer
  • Disabled threaded comments (they’re rubbish, but you can turn them back on if you must)
  • Easy Google Analytics support (but don’t go crazy with your stats – write good stuff, the rest will take care of itself.)
  • Ability to turn off theme credit in footer (but why would you do that to me?)
  • Localization ready (currently including Dutch & Belorussian translations

The Erudite WordPressTheme

Who is This For?

The Erudite is a free, open source theme for writers . If you rely on superfluous visual design and/or content to distract your visitors from the shoddy state of your writing, move along, nothing to see here (literally).

For those still here, The Erudite is a theme for writers who want readers, not visitors, traffic, click-throughs, CPMs or what-have-you. Just the words that you put on the virtual page, alone and naked. Nothing to distract your readers from your prose. Scared? 

A theme for writers who want readers, not visitors, traffic, click-throughs, CPMs or what-have-you. Carefully crafted typography and generous use of whitespace lets your writing shine. Version 2 includes a dark theme option.

Below is an article reposted from Phil at www.Frumph.net defining the current state and future of the ComicPress Wordpress Theme.

on

Posted In: Blog
 

It has been 6 years since Tyler Martin created ComicPress.   The soul original purpose was for him to create a site for his comic that was easily manipulated in the way that he wanted it to be.    He then offered to make other peoples comics using his theme and offered it up to the public.

When I got on board to add features to ComicPress it was primarily to add features that other webcomic authors when I design their sites could utilize.   Pretty much for Tyler and Myself to have those options available for the stuff we were doing.   Yet releasing them and making them available.

There isn't another theme available that allows so much control with the single limitation of the comics are not attached to the post, it goes and find the available comic for the post by the date of the post.    We kept this method throughout every update of ComicPress for several reasons, backward compatibility mainly for those users who were already using ComicPress and the support with John Bintz's ComicPress Manager.

John Bintz has recently moved on and is no longer supporting ComicPress Manager.   The things we've wanted to do to change the way it works just didn't happen, save for the simple bug fixes.   Frankly, he's just not interested in working with WordPress in this way and has found a different pasture to graze in.

Where does that leave ComicPress?  That leaves us out in the cold for the old-method of file directory search for comic based on the date of the post.    The implementation of this is simply outdated and not conducive to the WordPress framework anymore.    Since WordPress 2.9.2 we have been moving on to use Post-Types, we started this before anyone else even thought of the idea of using it and have been talking/discussing with the WordPress dev's on methodology and process the whole time, not only to make ComicPress function in the new post-types but making post-types work for this sort of application/use for WordPress 3.0.  In CP >= 3.0 Comics are attached to posts, which means unlimited comics per day, etc.. etc.

What now?   I am going to release one final ComicPress 2.9 line, with the ComicPress 2.9.2 release to coincide with the version number of WordPress it works with.   From here on there will be no more additions / fixes / modifications to the code, save for bug fixes.   We will release ComicPress 2.9.2 line now known as ComicPress Legacy when I have felt the bug reports have been reduced to nothing, from there, no more updates on ComicPress Legacy.

With the advent of ComicPress Legacy being dropped in working on additional features for we have in development *and working for the last several months now ComicPress Premium.   ComicPress Premium is utilizes core WordPress functionality for attaching comics to post as it should be, meaning multiple comics per day, comics are attached to the post itself and more.   We have completely dropped ComicPress Manager out of the equation and it is no longer needed.   Many features that were in ComicPress – now known as ComicPress Legacy have been removed and can be replaced by plugins of the appropriate type.

To Recap.

The ComicPress 1.0 -> 2.9.2 series, now known as ComicPress Legacy will be defunct from any new features or additions, support will only be available on the comicpress.org forums and will remain Free.  No new updates past that, unless another developer would like to step in and take over this line.

ComicPress Premium, which is the >= 3.0 line will however, not be free and *not* be backward compatible with earlier versions of ComicPress, i.e. the ComicPress Legacy line.   There will be more information available after our beta testing phase has ended.

ComicPress Premium will only be available to those who purchase it from one of the developers.   That CP Developer will then support you and your site with it upon purchase.

ComicPress Legacy will still be available to the public, free as always.  No more feature implementations however and only updated to work with the latest version(s) of WordPress.

We have been and always will be the best way to have your webcomic on the net, no matter what the fanatics say.   The features are unbelievably robust and will continue to be so, nothing else compares, no matter how hard they try to steal or mimic the functionality.   We're just moving up and scaling ComicPress to be more advanced then ever before.

Where does that leave me?  Frumph.

You won't notice, I won't be around anymore.  @Zerzix, Adam Kellogg http://www.kelloggskorner.com is the new lead Developer of ComicPress.  If anyone has been keeping up with the Jones they probably know why for health reasons I am limiting the work I do on ComicPress to designing sites for people and contract-support.  Adam's taking over for me has been a God send.  He's an incredible programmer and a super nice guy to boot.

Q-1: My widgets are misbehaving from a previous install of comicpress.

A-1: Take the widget out and put a new widget in of the same type, many of the widgets have changed and so the data is changed inside them and will not behave the same way.

Q-2: The comic blog post widget doesn't display on some posts

A-2: The widget only shows up when there is content inside of the post itself, otherwise will not display.

Q-3: Upgraded the theme but it keeps giving some errors about file not found.

A-3: 2 possibilities, 1. .. you have another theme in your themes directory with the same Theme Name: in the style.css (another comicpress theme) – Remove any other comicpress themes. or 2. Your hosting does PHP caching and you just need to wait bit for it to clear.

Q-4: Buy Print isn't pointing to the location I set it in the options.

A-4: This is fixed in 2.9.0.4 make sure you upgrade your comicpress version.

Q-5: Getting an error on the post & pages tab in the comicpress options saying array_merge not working

Q-5: This is a permissions issue with your server, the glob (php function) is unable to read the directories.

Known Bugs

2.9.0.0 -
Navigation widget is not displaying properly in IE7 and lower. (fixed 2.9.0.1)
Comic Blog Post not showing on home page. (fixed 2.9.0.1)

If The best one for your needs is a free WP Theme then Great! and if it is a professional WP Theme that you have to buy, then buy it.

  • I highly suggest you just use one of the 1000+ Free WP Themes that are available directly thru wordpress.
  • Use a Free Theme that has at least 500 uploads (all the bugs are worked out AND additional user requested features have usually been added making it much more customizable).
  • Upload the theme from your Admin Panel in your wordpress website (hard to screw it up that way and you can fall back to your previous theme just by clicking on it in the Appearance Tab, Themes sub tab of your admin panel.
  • or use the search for a Free WP Theme using the "Add Theme" feature in the Admin Panel, (Appearance tab, Add New Themes). It has the ability to search by some basic criteria

Consider one of the Free WordPress Themes listed below in our Top 10 list. While the best themes are always judgmental things these themes were selected based upon:

  1. Number of times they have been downloaded
  2. Support availability,
  3. Design look and feel
  4. Features and flexibility
  5. Recently Updated
  6. Star Rating

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..

8) 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.

SWIFT fetures a variety of sidebar options which I REALLY Like. getting your sidebars (the areas to either side of your blog or article entries) exactly the way you want them is critical to a blog in my opinion and I don't want to be forced to use a certain size add or to squeeze my list of recent blog entries into a narrow 1.5 inch side bar widget for example.

FREE guide to getting started WordPress Blogging – PART 1!


This guide starts with the absolute basics and gets you to the point of how to start a blog!

  1. ! Bookmark this article location so you can come back to it right now because I am going to give you a lot of valuable links for places to go to get started – and all of them have plenty of FREE information!

What is a Blog? "Blog" stands for weblog. Blogs started out as websites that contained a diary type of commentary usually about a core subject. For example, if you live “Off the Grid” your blog might chronicle the challenges of self sustaining living. It might also give people instruction in how to do some of the things you have done and contain links to suppliers or other interesting sites you have found.

Blogs have since evolved into everything you can imagine. Some contain E-commerce stores, some are marketing tools to try to get you to buy a given product, some are political sites to get a political opinion out in the open, and the list goes on and on. A blog can be whatever you want it to be.

BUT if you want people to visit your blog, come back, tell other people and maybe buy something that you are selling then your blog should follow these basic rules:

  1. It should contain information that people want or need or find interesting. If you think you can just get an automated tool to copy other peoples writing to your website and then sell them stuff. You are mistaken. Most will realize that your “Content” (the articles, stories and opinions in your blog) is not original and they will leave and not come back.
  2. It should be updated regularly. Not every day but if you try to “set and forget it” (Write a bunch of content and then ignore the site for a year) People will stop coming and the search engines will stop listing your site and traffic will fall.
  3. It should be well organized, easy to find things and have a Theme that ties it all in together.

How do you get started Blogging?

This is the main question most people have and the answer is it really is easy! Thanks to common tools and lots of available videos and instruction guides on how to get started, even someone with limited computer experience can start a blog if they are just willing to follow instructions!

So how do I get started?

First decide what you want to Blog about! What is your “Theme” (what do you want your blog to be about?)? Do you want to blog about pets? Do you want to tell people your political opinions? Do you want to talk about hiking? Decide. Then make a list of the answers to these questions:

  1. What is my Theme? The Theme is the overall subject of your website. Note that there are also WordPress Themes which are specific design templates for your Blog.
  2. Who do I hope will read my blog?
  3. How will my blog be unique and interesting?
  4. Do I want to try and make money off my blog?
  5. If so, How (If you don’t know how we’ll discuss that later on).

Second, Decide what kind of Blog you will Have – I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest you make a WordPress Blog. Wordpress is software that enables you to set up a blog quickly. It provides a ton of functionality so your blog can look good, be easy to manage and add on cool features. Best of all it is everywhere and easy to get “hosted” (we’ll discuss that in a minute) easy to get help with and best of all its FREE!

You can go to www.wordpress.org and get free software Download! And tons of free instructions! As a matter of fact you can go to: http://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging and get more advanced “getting started Blogging” instructions for free that tell you more about the features, terminology and functions involved with WordPress blogging!

OK so I know what software to get, how to get it and where to get instructions on how to use it. How do I get a blog up and running on a website?

How to get a blog on the web!

  1. You need a “Web Host” to install your word press software on and then create your blog on so it appears on the web. There are many FREE webhosts and many that you pay for. The choice is yours. Free ones limit the size and the features of your blog. Ones you pay for often give you a lot more tools (like an email account like my_name@www.myblog.com or software to manage your website with etc.)

Here are some free webhosts:

http://wordpress.com/

http://blogetery.com/

 

  1. You can get your own “domain name” (a Domain name is a name like Google or yahoo) but you don’t have to. So decide if you want one. If you don’t have one your website will usually have a “sub domain” name like: “My_web_site_name.my_free_hosting_websites_name.com”.

If you have your own it would be more like www.my_web_site_name.. Having your own domain name costs from $10 – $15 a year. But it is yours! You own it! You can even sell it later on (if someone wants to buy it).

If you want to have your own domain name some of the free blog sites will let you make up a name for your blog and just start. But if you want your own domain name there are plenty of free tools to search for a web name that is not taken yet. For example you can go to www.godaddy.com (I make no money off that. I have used their free tool and it is quick and easy) to search for a domain name.  Is an abbreviated version of "weblog,"

  1. Most web hosts have a free, one click install of your wordpress software. If it doesn’t I would just find another that does. If you really like that web host, then you can follow the WordPress installation instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

 

  1. You can also get a much more detailed getting started with wordpress guide at: http://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start

 

  1. OK. At this point you have a web host, you have a website theme and name (the name may be on your own domain or it may be on a free web host as a “sub domain”. You have installed wordpress and you are ready to set up the software so you can blog!

 

  1. Select the WordPress Theme for your website. There are many free WordPress Themes for your website. You can also purchase a great Professional Theme from a company like Woo Themes. Free WordPress Themes are fine and come with the free wordpress software. The Professional Themes usually have a nicer design and more options for where you can place ads, the colors and special pages you can set up and use, etc. I, like most people, started my first blog and then tried several Themes from Professional Theme companies before settling on Woo Themes because I like all the special features they offer and the great look of their Themes.

 

And that is the end of part 1!

I decided to create a start to finish guide on getting started with wordpress. It is very ong and detailed and available at theis link. It covers evverything – EVERYTHING you need to know from idea to getting on line and posting to your blog! CLICK ON THIS LINK TO GO TO THE HOW TO WORDPRESS BEGINNERS GUIDE!
