Whether you are looking to run a fully-fledged WordPress blog or just a corporate site, it is essential to choose a theme that is attractive and provides the platform for your best content to be show cased on your WordPress site.
BlueSky theme is one of the most attractive themes for pro-bloggers and even some of the startups. It is highly customizable and the contrast of colors used on this theme is simply breath-taking.
At the top of the page you have a place to replace the bluesky logi with yours. In addition, the search box is featured right below the logo to encourage users to search for things they want to read on. I also like the fact that there is a section of the top right side of the page that has the most popular entries, the recent entries, and recent comments.
The ad section is also not intrusive which allows you to show ads on your blog without disrupting your readers (see below).
The theme is feature rich but it loads fast and is highly customizable. Best of all, you can get unlimited rights to this domain for only $19 a year. But that’s not all. You get a bunch of other top themes with your subscription. Also, you can keep the themes even if you cancel after your first month. The themes that you download at the time when you had an active subscription are yours to keep, which makes this subscription program more affordable.
Verdict: 4.5 out of 5. The theme is good looking and is feature rich. But if you decide to sell your blog, you will have to purchase a $19 fee to the programmer for his work. I personally think it’s very affordable if you are making $200 or more with your blog to pay something back to your designer. But I could do without it.

Craigslist truly revolutionized the idea of running a classified listing site. Now more people are using the similar concept to launch super niche listing sites. But now you can create listings sites on the fly with Classipress premium WordPress theme.
The Classipress is a very simple to use and comes with everything you need to help you run without any additional plug-ins. All you have to do is define your classified site’s categories, and also the image that you want to use per category to differentiate between different listings under the latest listings tab.
You can also define your currency symbol. Currently Dollar, Euro, and Pound are supported with Classipress WordPress Theme. But it wouldn’t be that difficult to program more symbols into the theme. Overall, the theme is very simple to use and yet very powerful. Classipress WordPress theme is also reasonably priced as you get get a single license to it for $79.
Verdict: 4/5 stars. The Classipress classified listing WordPress theme is easy to install and deploy. But we would’ve preferred to have seen a few design options for those not too familiar with “theming” WordPress blogs. In addition, more flexibility would’ve been great. Nevertheless, Classipress is a very powerful niche premium theme.
Continue Reading August 27th in Premium Themes, Themes For Video Bloggers by Wordpress Jedi . Videoblogging is one of those trends that is catching fire these days. Videoblogging is becoming more and more popular as people spend more time consuming video online. Besides, there are things that you can only communicate through video and audio. Press75 has been known for having some of the best video blogging themes available on the market (I personally use TV.Elements for my blog. The good news is that Press75 has just released their best video WordPress theme in “On Demand.” So let’s dig in and see what makes On Demand WordPress theme special.
Design: I am sure you have heard of love on the first sight? Well, On Demand is absolutely incredible looking. You get a featured video section with the ability to flip videos by clicking on the left or right arrows. In addition, you get a category section, where your users can search for their favorite video posts based on your defined categories. The “sideblog” on the sidebar allows you to point to your non-video posts, which I think is great. The dark/light contrast of color on this theme makes it an incredible videoblogging theme. Let’s say you want to run a movie trailer blog. You can do so easily with On Demand (check out the sample site here).
Functionality: like other video themes by Press75, On Demand comes with a host of features for video bloggers. You can import posts from high definition video services such as Blip.tv or Vimeo. In addition, your users can rate videos and your highest rated videos show up in your right sidebar (see picture below). Of course, this theme is widget ready and compatible with the latest WordPress release.
Cons: This theme is great looking and comes with a lot of features, but no alternative CSS is provided unlike some other premium WordPress theme. In other words, you will need to either change the CSS yourself or hire someone to do it for you if you want a drastically different look. In addition, we would have liked to see the videos zoom out and play on the same page rather than opening up on the new page. That can however be fixed with minimal coding.
Pricing: On Demand comes with three different types of licenses. I do recommend you signing up for the developer license if you plan to change and reuse the theme for your clients:
Verdict: 4.75 out of 5. The theme is great looking and a must have for new video-bloggers. There are a few small areas that can be improved but nothing that should stop you from getting this theme. Considering that lifetime updates are included, we wouldn’t be surprised to see this theme get improved further in the near future.
