Mystique is a new, free WordPress theme that succeeds in its attempt to top a lot of the available commercial templates in terms of design and functionality!

The Mystique theme has some nice features including three built-in widgets; Sidebar tabs, Twitter posts and Flickr gallery. It also features several page templates with different layout styles and many other theme options which are accessible from the backend Theme options page.

The theme has some minor issues with Internet Explorer 6/7 at the moment, which I’m sure will be worked out, but at the moment it works great with Firefox and IE8!

A demo of this great looking theme can be seen here.

To download the latest version of this theme, please visit the Mystique page on the WordPress Theme directory or visit the Mystique Theme homepage.

Eos is a free WordPress theme that has just been released with the elegant and clean look inspired by the colors of an aurora.

The theme should work with WordPress 2.5+ and has been tested in IE6, IE7, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 3.0, Opera 9, Safari 2 and Google Chrome. The developer of this theme, SRS Solutions, strived to create a superb looking theme for the WordPress community and I think they succeeded.

The design is very modern, with the background and header area having a aurora style grading that is very eye-pleasing.

The back end has an admin options page which is good to see. The admin options are just for the top menu bar which displays the categories of the website. Also, the drop down menus can be enabled or disabled here.

Overall, this is a nice looking theme with a modern feel. In particular, the top header area is very nicely done. To download, visit the  Eos WordPress Theme page.

The people at BlueVerse.com have just released a new theme which firmly focuses on monetization of your WordPress blog.

The theme is called Weblogger and is fully Adsense ready with a nice Web 2.0 look and feel. The side bars are well done and widget ready too which makes it easy to expand your blog with extra monetization code if required.

According to the website this theme does a lot of the monetization for you and just by installing it your blog will be nearly 40% monetized! The Adsense integration is great because the theme is designed to get your visitor’s attention in the first load of a page. The Adsense ads are displayed prominently at the very top of your blog where there is a much better CTR (Click Through Rate).

From the screenshot above you’ll see the top half of the theme is completely monetized for Adsense and these ads are very easy to edit as well. You will simply need to edit the pub-id code in 4 php files. These are;

• ad-header.php
• ad-nav.php
• ad-post.php
• ad-top.php

The Weblogger theme is available for download here; Weblogger WordPress Theme

Zeke 1.0 is a new 3 column, widget-ready WordPress theme designed by Michael Pollock of SoloStream Webstudio. This theme is built to work with all WordPress versions 2.1 and above.

Michael has a demo site available here and the theme can also be downloaded from that demo page or by clicking here.

Zeke 1.0 is very easy to install. As usual, simply unzip the download file. That will give you a folder titled Zeke10 which should contain all the WordPress theme files and then upload this folder to your wp-content/themes blog directory.

A cool feature of this theme is that it has a Featured Articles section which appears above the start of your main posts. To create a Featured Article that looks like the one seen in the picture above, all you have to do is create a post, then create a category called “Featured”, and then place any of your posts into that category. The theme is set up to select and display the most recent Featured Article.

Zeke 1.0 is a very pro-looking WordPress theme that you could have some fun with.
