The Hottest Wordpress Designers Online….this is the topic.

Here you’ll find a list of the best and the brightest Wordpress designers who offer free themes. Their themes might just help you make your blog look a little bit niftier then the rest. Not “Just another Blog”…

These designers really know how to make use of nifty……

Jason from wpelements.com for his Massive Press theme, Structure Theme and Charred theme, the Option Themes by Justin Tadlock from justintadlock.com, Darran Hoyt for his Agregado theme and Vikiworks.com for all of their themes.

For clean and simple layouts..not as fancy feature wise but cool regardless.. I recommend skinpress.com, designdisease.com, Askgraphics.com and dailyblogtips.com who has one really great theme called Blue Sensation.

I recently discovered the designers at Freethemelayouts.com and was really impressed with the free themes that they offer. I mean really impressed. I haven’t seen any of their themes anywhere else so I’m assuming their pretty new.

Charred by wpelements.com Massive Press by wpelements.com

Fresh Mint by freethemelayouts.com


Three tutorials by Wpelements.com and one plugin that can change a boring theme into a killer theme..Thanx Jason! You rule the school!

Random..

I’ve always had the hardest time finding cool graphic bullets online – that were not made before 1996.
There is a very small handful of websites that offer bullets and the ones that do offer bullets offer these huge ugly animated bullets.
So, if your trying to think of a cool website that could be popular.. that there be my suggestion.

I found one..websitebullets.com and even they make mention of the fact that they’re hard to find. If you do a search for bullets 7 out of the 10 results are for gun bullets and that’s the case even if you use “website bullets” as your search terms. So someone..save the net and make some cool bullets.

Another random tid bit..I made it to #1 for social network icon in Google..and I don’t even make social network icons. I only created a couple posts offering them with links to their designers. So, that might be another good idea for a website theme for someone.

FlockStar!

Flock is so bad ass..It seems I find a new feature on Flock everyday that makes me go “WOW that’s cool”.

_ For example I took this screen shot with Flocks built in screenshot tool that allows you to select clips and snap away.

_ It has a built in Blog editor so I can post to my blog using my browser

_A drag and drop web clipboard manager

_Media bar that streams media from sites like Flickr, Digg, Youtube, your Facebook friends

_A sidebar with all your updated feeds and social networking sites

_side bar listing all your accounts and services that you can click on an automatically be logged into

So if you haven’t tried it yet..dammit try it! I still use Firefox and I probably always will but I love me some Flock now and then.. it’s like my secret little drug…well maybe not that dramatic no..but it’s damn good? I love their My world page it shows me all my updates from my social networking sites. It’s nifty. (see screenshot)
