WordPress® | Themes | Blogs | Style | Design

What's the best setup you've seen ?

I thought I would start an entire thread dedicated to WordPress since I've seen multiple posts relating to it.. everything from very nice Blogs, Themes (like 5ThirtyOne's new hot version2 theme) to just plain cool design tactics.

I am personally working on a project that incorporates WordPress as a CMS solution in all XHTML styled in CSS. I plan on using it in MANY forms for most of my sites in the near future.

Anhyow, I thought I'd kick it off with a groovy site (not that I like HipHop, but the integration is beautiful).. check it out here:

I like from a viewer perspective. A tad slow loading the lower images, easily navigated and immediately sets the tone for the baselines inside!

Seems massively overdone, I'm not sure what I'm meant to read first

New here, but this is something I've been looking into pretty heavily as well. I work with a journalism group that will be getting a site up soon using a heavily modified Wordpress foundation. And by "getting a site up soon" I mean I'll be learning CSS/PHP in order to get it up. haha.

This site has a lot of decent themes, as well as a great series on building up all of the code from the ground up for a solid site.

the site:

the tutorial:

WPDesigner » So you want to create WordPress themes huh?
