A month or two ago, when i was searching for Magazine-style wordpress themes, i found none. But, today, after just a short time, there are 6 magazine-style wordpress theme available. Three of them are free and three of them are paid. In the upcoming posts, i’ll cover the various aspects of these themes. I’ll split this into three posts and will post in the upcoming days.
As of now, i’ll post the list of them. I’ve ranked them in terms of look, feature, quality and others.
- The Morning After – Free
- Revolution News Theme – Paid – (wanted to rank this the same as “The Morning After”. But “The Morning After” won over because it is Free)
- Mimbo Magazine Theme – Free
- Block Magazine – Paid
- Your Revolution – Paid
- Jello Wala Mello – Free
I’d like to tell that, the ranking mentioned in this post is in no way influenced by my previous post. I’ll write more about these themes in my upcoming posts.
I’m looking at a redesign of my blog. These links came at the right time for me :-) Thanks!
While it takes a bit more hand coding, I really like Mimbo. Only problem is I have my site all set, now 2.2 has come out; I need to figure out how to ‘update’ since so much of what I’ve done is in the php pages from the theme. Great theme though.
yes, these links will help me as well to redesign my blog theme.
I dont had a plan to redesign my blog but after reviewing them I would like to choose one of them :)
Though i am a blogspot blogger i am a big fan of wordpress..I mainly use converted wordpress themes on my blogger blogs..
Since your post there have been many, many other magazine-style themes that have been released, both free and premium. Some of the features that have been integrated are very cool!
Awesome, I have been seeking out some good magazine style themes. This definitely comes in handy.
I almost exclusively use magazine themes for my blogs. Thanks for these.
Nice list of designs, although comparing paid to free is a little unfair, since the investment of time and quality in a paid design is most likely to be more than that of a free design (after all, who designs their BEST when it’s free? :P)
Always like comparisons, full of facts
It’s more interesting if you include screenshot of the theme.
I liked the theme and will be of great use for my blog.
I think that wagazine-style themes are suitable for ecommerce blogs. If your main goal is to provide your visitors with quality information it is worth using avarage themes.
Great list! I’m currently on blogger but thinking of making the switch to wordpress… then I’ll shortly be looking for a theme.
Thanks for the list in a very short post like we all love it! I might consider switching to wordpress considering all the cool looking themes and plugins, thanks. Now I have lots to think about.
Wow! Nice collecton of magazine style theme. I’ll change my site to use mimbo.
Thanks for this! I was looking for an alternative to revolution theme and thanks to you I have found it. :)
Thank you for this these are some great magazine themes :)
I have been using the “your revolution” theme for a long time on my website. I have to admit that it is really good and my custumers like it. I havn’t used other themes but as far as i can judge, “your revoultion” looks better.
I like the morning after one best. Its way cool, thanks for the post
You did review the woo theme magazine theme, but I have always found it to work really nice for my own blogs.
Great post though!

Nice comparison… I user Revolution and am a big fan…
These are really cool themes and much easier than trying to design it yourself. I wish I had found them earlier, so I did not waste so much time. I will use them in the future.
Nice job Hari. All the themes are just awesome. Everything has it’s unique style. But i love the ‘the morning after’ the most. Looks really lovely. thanks for the list. Appreciate the work cheers

THANKS!!!! I’ve been looking for a good template for my blog and “The Morning After” is PERFECT!!!
I am a huge fan of the Revolution magazine themes – especially Revolution Church. They’re all fantastic but unfortunately the author made them all “paid”.
Nice list there Hari. I really do like the Morning after theme as well. It really does look awesome and ranking it at the first place is really what it deserves. Especially since it’s free. Anyway, good job. Keep it up. Cheers
Mimbo magazine theme seems very simple and nice. Also, links to some themes in the article need to be updated.
I found Mimbo Magazine Theme useful for my new blog. Wordpress is really great. You made my life 80% easier…thanks a lot…
Your Revolution is a good theme. I use it for one of my sites.
Do you think wordpress is best for a magazine website?
Great set of themes there. Really like them all. Morning After is my favorite too. And Paul, wordpress is the best for basically any type of site. Even magazine :)
Neat stuff. You really have some great themes there man. They are super cool. Keep it up. Been wondering round your blog and I have to say, you have an awesome blog man.
