You’ve probably heard the news, but I’m going to join the echo chamber anyways: Brian Gardner has taken his “Revolution” into a new Open Source evolution over at Revolution Two. Now he has a bunch of partners, and the themes are released under Open GPL license, which pretty much means you can use them any way you like and for any (legal) purposes. The business model is that people can buy membership packages which gives them access to advice and guidance related to the themes, as well as custom design services and hosting .

The premium Revolution themes will be available until tomorrow, and at midnight they will turn into a pumpkin. But no worries – the new themes look fantastic, and really add to the WordPress community.

I rarely link to collections of WordPress themes because they always seem to repeat themselves, or are uninteresting. But WPZoom has posted a list of AMAZING magazine/grid layout WordPress themes, including themes that I’ve never seen before.

Here are my 3 favorites from the list:

1. Arthemia – this is by far the best free WordPress theme I’ve seen in a long time. Everything is nice about it, from the nav bar down to the content-rich footer.
2. Futurosity EOS – this is a tastefully, minimalistic theme, and I’ve said before, I’m a sucker for minimalism.
3. Wynton Magazine – the designer of this theme added a nice drop shadow effect to the feature post.
