Hello WordPress Theme fanatics, just don't wander around to get a good Wordpress theme for your blog for free. I'm sure many of you wanted to have a Revolution Theme. Brian Gardner, the creator of the theme has decided that the premium WordPress theme, Revolution, (see the samples here) won’t be sold as of October 31, 2008. A new set of themes will be released instead, GPL’d and free to download. The move has been applauded by Matt Mullenweg, head honcho of the WordPress project. There is a interview with the man himself and read what he says...

Although the video is as old as 3 years, the words of wisdom from none other than Steve Jobs are still true. In his speech he covers his academic career, his love and loss in his life and a near death situation. Watch this magnificiant video and decide yourself, what's next lies for you!

If you're a WordPress theme designer you should make sure the threading, paging and javascript for the comments functioanlity can be handled seamlessly. Actually the biggest changes in the coming release are these functionalities. Though these are all built in, but your theme must support them.

Old themes will continue to work fine in WordPress 2.7. It’s just the threading and paging and javascript enhancements need the theme to support. This is much the same as the sidebar widgets, the theme has to support it for the functionality to work.

Read on the article for the necessary changes.
