30 Cutting Edge WordPress Themes and Resources

Here are 30 cutting edge WordPress themes that I think are the best online right now and there are plenty of them. I change my theme so much and I’ve used almost all of them. I’m also in the process of designing a WordPress theme for the public so keep your eyes open. I want to offer a few different ones. A couple for free and one Premium one that I’m going to design with a friend. He just doesn’t know it yet. Haha!
