Top 10 best free Wordpress themes of 2009

Picking from the best that are also free at the same time, the only thing that will stand in the way of the next top 10 list is if someone makes a better free theme in the next month(something that is possible but unlikely). Most of these themes have a great and useful admin panel, incredible design and functionality, slideshows, custom sidebar widgets, galleries and other implementations of services that are both useful and flexible.

The only thing that the following themes don’t guarantee (at least not surely) is support. So if something goes wrong, be sure to contact the developer but don’t get your hopes up you will get a response.

The Nominees are: Spexel, Irresistible, Magaling, Scarlett,Gamezine,Milano,AutoFocus,FREEmium,Skyye news and IsoTherm News

Themeforest – One of the best places on the web to buy Wordpress Themes from

ThemeForest is one of the best online markets out there (the best if you ask me). But what makes it the best? The fact that each day around 30 themes are sent for reviewing and each day(especially the weekend) 1-2 reviewers see all the designs and reject more than 90% of them. Actually even more than 90% (even 100%) as most of the themes are not “good enough” for the envato team.

These people are looking only for the best themes out there and that is a big plus for the customers as they know they will buy quality. All good so far, but you may want to ask at this point:  what are the prices like? Cheaper than you ever find. I’m talking 45$ a very high price! Usually themes are from 25$ to 35$. +Continue Reading

Wordpress Auto-Update Plugins ? Should I build this?

I’m thinking of building a plugin that will auto-update all the plugins (yes… automatically ..haha). I will build this if I get enough requests.. but before you wordpress lovers say “YES, YES, YES!!” i want to point a few things out:

If the plugin will be made, it will only update all of the plugins, automatically after it checks for each installed plugins updates once every x minutes or hours or days…. IF and only IF a an administrator has logged in the wp-admin panel. So the script will only run once an administrator has logged in admin panel. (and i’m not entirely 100% sure if/how to make this work perfectly for each server)

Why?

- Because cron jobs might not work (at all or correctly) on all servers and hosts where wordpress is installed
- Because if i make it run each time a user loads a page then your site will load slower and your cpu will be used more once you have hight traffic(short: because it’s inefficient that way)
- Because HTTPRequest might not work for some servers

I’m thinking of opening a popup or another page as a sollution to where the script to update all the plugins is going to load withouth being disrupted…

Give me your thoughts please… Do you want this? would you make these compromises? Have any better ideas? (i just came up with the ideea in the last 24 hrs and found these solutions so far)
