A great new WordPress theme called Calotropis is now available. The WP theme has a wonderful amount of selectable layout options such as; right or left sidebar or no sidebar, magazine style or traditional style, and many more options.

In fact, it’s hard to believe that this is a free wordpress theme because of all of the theme options that are available, it’s like it’s a premium theme!

The latest 1.1.1 version of the Calotropis Theme has added more new features. A tabbed column widget is included and a new Favicon feature, which means you can set your own desired favicon. If not set, the default favicon used, very handy.

Following my last post I have played around with several more themes from the YGoSearch.com site and I am getting to like the variety and quality of the WordPress themes that they make. The latest one I am experimenting with is called YGo Health and it is a 3 column widget ready theme with a couple of additional navigation sections that makes it look superb.

The header blends nicely in the main content area and the text fonts used are well suited to the theme and easily readable. The most striking thing about this theme is it’s use of color which makes it one of the most eye-catching themes I have come across in a while.

So if you are looking for an eye-grabbing theme for your blog it may be worth checking this one out. Btw, did I mention it’s also widget-ready!

This brand new theme is called YGo Lively and it has just been released today. It is an interesting theme as it looks more like a CMS (Content Management System) type of site when activated.

When installed on your blog the home page resembles a main-stream type of website as the posts are presented in 2 columns in the centre section with a sidebar at each side. This theme definitely feels more like a website than a blog.

YGo Lively , unfortunately, is not widget ready which is a slight disadvantage for quick and easy sidebar setup, but the lack of widget support does not take away from the fact it is a nicely structured theme that is still very configurable. The theme makes great use of bright colors and features a fluid-width design that has been tested in Opera, Mozilla and Internet Explorer up to 1280—1024 resolution and it fits extremely well.

If you are looking for something different for your blog, then this theme may suit you. The left and right columns can be easily adapted to whatever you would like to have in there and overall this theme is definitely worth taking a look at

Have fun.
