MassivePress

MassivePress is a three-column, widget-enabled WordPress theme featuring thumbnails for each post, giving the site a mixed look - half magazine site, half weblog.

Prologue

Prologue allows a group of people to use Wordpress to create a Twitter-like stream of what they’re doing.

It’s put out by Automattic, the people behind Wordpress. They explain it like this:

“We’re fans of Twitter around here, in fact many Automatticians have accounts, but while the format appealed to us it really just whetted our appetite for something more, like a way for each of us to share short messages about what we’re doing or working on internally, or private messages between groups of folks. So last week (we) decided to tackle this problem and within a few days (we) had a new theme…

“Basically how it works is when someone has the ability to post to a blog they see a short form at the top of the home page with a post box and tags. There they can post short messages about what they’re doing.

“Below the posting box is a list of everyone’s latest tweet or message, with their Gravatar next to it. You can click on an author to see all their messages, or a tag to see all of the messages in a given tag (which we use for projects). There are RSS feeds for everything: the entire prologue, each author, each tag, and even combination or searches can be subscribed to in your RSS reader.”

Monotone

Monotone is a unique photo blogging theme where the background colours of the theme automatically change to complement those in your photos.

As the demo site explains: “Monotone takes the first image attached to a post and samples colors from it for use in the surrounding layout. Each post needs to contain one image, and optionally, any text you want. The theme does the rest, pulling colors out of and resizing the images for use in the design.”

It’s a very cool and eye-catching effect which means your site will never clash with the photos you’re showcasing.

Download (A proper release of the theme is forthcoming but for now you can download it from the Automattic SVN server.)

Videographer

Videographer is a free Wordpress theme designed to create a YouTube-like site showcasing a range of video content.

WP Touch

Do you want your Wordpress site to appear sexy and be easy to read on the iPhone and iPod Touch? Then this is the theme for you.

As the theme author describes it: “Simply put, it’s a complimentary theme installed as a plugin on your WordPress blog or website that will format your content with this Apple-inspired, full-featured theme when your visitors are using an iPhone or iPod touch.”

That’s right. It won’t replace your normal theme in a browser window, but it will if people access your site through one of these Apple devices.
