Now when is the end of the year, I decided to look through Collections of WordPress Themes for this year, and to choose the ones I liked most.
So I decided to declare 15 of them as The Best Free WordPress Themes in 2008. The criteria for selection were simple, and among them I can enumerate:
- 1. Unique design
- 2. Unusual structure
- 3. New Features Integrated
- 4. and many other special features.
WordPress Fun
WordPress Fun is a 2 columns theme with a grungy design which looks very proffesionaly and also has included .psd file, that allows you to customize theme as you like.
Color Paper
Another great and free professional theme from SmashingMagazine with a well structured design.
Agregado Theme
Agregado is a theme that has integrated a built-in lifestream module and contact form with custom control panel options which is perfectly for any personal blogs.
Arthemia
Arthemia is combining a magazine and a weblog into one; it is not too magazine-ish nor too blog-ish.

Typebased is a free, personal blog design, with a very clean and elegant style.

This theme has been recently released for free as a gift from WooThemes at their 1st anniversary.
