New WordPress themes

4th September 2011 by Mike Rawlins

If you fancy giving your site a bit of a make over now that summer is all but gone, then now could be the time to do it. In the last week or so has seen WordPress release a handful of new themes for you to use on your WordPress hosted site.

Selecta & Skeptical are two of the newest and most interesting themes.

Selecta

 

The Selecta theme comes in 6 colours has a post slider showing the 5 latest posts and is ideal for sites with lots of images or video content.

Skeptical

Skeptical was previously only available on self hosted WordPress sites, but has now been migrated to the .com stable and has no less than 9 different post formats for you to enjoy.

As well as the usual Image, Gallery, Standard, Aside & Quote formats you also get

  • Audio
  • Chat
  • Link
  • Video
post types.
To see the latest themes on your wordpress.com blog, log in to the dashboard and navigate to appearance > themes and then select newest in the main theme window.

I look after the technical side of things at Talk About Local.
Away from Talk About Local I take photos, fly my quadcopter and walk my two Beagles.
If I'm not doing any of the above then you'll find me volunteering at my local RNLI station as a press officer.
