1. Good call. Very timely post. The next big thing will be affiliate marketing plans for premium themes. Let me add a couple more themes to your list if I may:

   Gridline Magazine and Visualization by Thad Allender.

   PressLance from thewebguy.

2. Thanks for the comment Dale. Indeed, that is most likely to be the next big thing! Let’s see what happens in the new year.

   And thanks for the heads up on those two themes, I’ll make sure to review them and if I like them, I’ll add them up!

3. You should also mention Michael Pollock of solo stream. It seems he is now converting some of his previously free themes to Premium but I have to say they are good looking and work like a hot dang.

4. Sorry for the double comment but thought Darren Hoyt’s Mimbo v2 theme should be in here as well. Definitely premium but also free for the time being. It’s a little more complex for the avg user to edit but it’s sweet.

5. I’m sick of paying for these layouts. I like the thad allender theme a lot, and 20 bucks is reasonable, but not when you just dropped 100 bucks on a theme by adii that looks half finished when you opt to not use the video section.

7. You forgot Mimbo. Tthe best WP magazine theme out there and still being improved upon – and free

   will,
   I was about to say the same thing.

9. I was disappointed with the Revolution Theme in one regard, no auto thumbnails. What a pain in the butt to create thumbnails for each posting for the main page. I had a customized WP theme made a year ago and its hard to go back. WordPress automatically creates a thumbnail version, so it just has to be called. e.g. image.jpg will always have a image.thumbnail.jpg version that can be called. You can also use CSS, this according to my custom WP theme designer. Anyhow, apparently Premium News Theme also doesn’t do auto thumbnail, but at least he took my feedback and is working on it as we speak for the next version. Come on guys, its not that hard to do and would all save us some time.

14. I cant help but wonder what the longterm outlook of these themes will be? I cant see why anyone would pay for these, as you are assured that someone else will have the same thing. I know that it makes sense if a theme is free, but I don’t see the logic if you are paying for one. I guess you are getting a deal in terms of depth of development at that price, however its definitely not unique. In my opinion these themes will most likely be a passing fad.

15. Hello, been collecting magazine-style themes as well

16. Paid themes is a very good place to go. Corporate bloggers are growing and they don’t even understand the concept of FREE themes. In fact those that advise corporate blogs on entire set-up and configuration have a lot of places to go.

17. great themes, thanks.

20. Be advised! The guy who created the Jello Wala Mello theme sold his website to someone else and there is no more support for it! There is a support forum, but it is unmanaged and filled with spam! I didn’t find this out until I had already spent many hours customizing the theme. I love the theme but have some issues that I have no hope of getting resolved because the creator has left the planet.
