Having trouble deciding between a magazine premium theme and a news premium WordPress theme?    The two types are very similar, but definitely have a different purpose.   For these people I’ve been recommending the Magazine News theme from WordPress Theme Market.

Here is a list of the features you get with the Magazine News theme:

• Google AdSense Ready
• 125×125 Ad Blocks
• 3-Column Theme
• Widget Ready Theme

What about the appearance?  Here is a sample of how the Magazine News theme’s homepage looks by default:

The WordPress community is filled with a number of great WordPress theme designers who are regularly releasing both free and premium WordPress themes. One thing that quickly becomes apparent when reviewing all the themes out there, is that each theme designer has their own unique style, and each person who downloads or buys themes has different tastes as well.

One of my favorite WordPress theme designers right now is Lee from ThemeSpinner, whose themes have a very unique and custom style that I personally have always enjoyed.  Today I was excited to find out that Lee has followed up his ThemeSpinner campaign with a new theme, this time called One Theme.

This theme boasts one of the largest feature lists I’ve ever seen:

After close to six months since his last theme release, it looks like Michael of Solostream is back with his newest theme release, WP Vybe.  Michael advertises this new theme as the most advanced premium theme Solostream has released, and after looking through the theme I have to 100% agree.

First, we’ll start out with the themes features!  Here are the listed features that come with WP Vybe:

• Theme settings page in your Wordpress control panel.
• 2-column or 3-column layouts.
• 10 different color options with control panel setting for further customization.
• Optional featured article glider for home page.
• Gravatar integration.
• Optional banner ad integration.
• Optional built-in post thumbnails.
• Optional logo/header image integration via control panel.
• Built-in site search.
• Built-in drop-down navigation for sub-categories and sub-pages.
• Built-in author page and author profile with Gravatar support.
• Widgetized sidebars.
• Comment and trackback separation.
• Post author comments highlighted.
• Basic SEO techniques integrated.
• Original Photoshop files (PSDs) available for download via control panel.

Here are some screenshots of WP Vybe, including a screenshot that shows all 10 different colors you can choose from:

While the look of WP Vybe speaks for itself, where this theme really shines is within the control panel. I’ve had the privilege of being able to look through a lot of premium WordPress themes over the past year, and this one definitely takes the cake of those I’ve seen so far. Though WP Vybe works fine without making any settings adjustments, you can control just about everything from the built-in control panel.

Despite all these new features and functionality, Michael has chosen not to raise his prices, and instead is offering WP Vybe for his standard pricing.
