Derek Punsalan the man behind 5thirtyone is a freelancer by trade and is popular in the WordPress community for contributing themes like the 5thirtyone V2, Foliage, Pink October and the Grid Focus. His latest release is the Unstandard WordPress Theme, which was originally developed for his personal blog. The Unstandard WordPress theme is released / shared with the intent of breaking the typical blog mold. Farewell to the blase reverse chronological text heavy front pages, and hello to visuals & imagery to lure visitors deeper into your website / blog. A WordPress theme comprised of a - grid aligned - images for forward facing pages, and clean textual presentation on the inner pages. Originally developed for personal use, and modified for release, I felt that an update to the WordPress themes made available on 5thirtyone.com was due. Basic Features: 2 columns Right sidebar Footer WP 2.3 - 2.5 compatible Works on Firefox, IE & Opera XHTML compliant Screenshot:

Mimbo Pro Magazine Theme

Last year I did a review of Mimbo, a free magazine style theme for WordPress. Since then, Mimbo has become one of the most popular and most downloaded themes not only because of the popularity of magazine themes but also because it's feature-rich, user-friendly and easy to customize. As proof, you can see customized versions of Mimbo used in many websites and blogs. After the huge success of Mimbo, the author Darren Hoyt finally released his first and much anticipated premium theme, the Mimbo Pro Magazine Theme last week. For this project, he collaborated with Ben Gillbanks. Here's a short introduction from Darren himself: Mimbo Pro is a powerful and feature-rich theme for Wordpress, developed by Darren Hoyt and Ben Gillbanks and released through Ben’s Pro Theme Design marketplace. Already familiar with the original Mimbo? Imagine no more manual template editing, no more Photoshop, no more image-cropping or FTP’ing... Enjoy using Wordpress like a CMS, now more than ever.

Around three months ago, I posted a warning to WordPress and Joomla users about downloading themes from TemplateBrowser.com which contained hidden spam and malware links.
