I have always wanted to try something new in my theme development. This time, I bring to you a grunge design. In my previous post, I listed an article about grunge effect tutorials. I kind of like the idea of having stains, dirty textures, rips and torn images to enhance the look of a blog.
I am proud to partner with the owner of Smashingapps.com and grant him the rights to distribute the theme exclusively on the site. For the support of this theme, please leave your issues in the comment section of this post.

In my previous post, I listed 100+ theme directories and forums that I submit my new themes to. Out of all the sites, I particularly like Themes Preview because this is the only site that provide comprehensive review of Wordpress themes.
In this post, I’d like to give a review of this site because it is so special that set them apart from any other Wordpress theme directories. I also give a brief review of another theme review site, Wpthemereview.com.
By far, ThemesPreview.com and Wpthemereview.com are the only two sites that provide review and rating of Wordpress themes. There is another yet-to-launch site, Wpthemecritic.com that will be reviewing Wordpress themes.
Let’s spend a little time talking about Wpthemereview.com before I review ThemesPreview.com in details.
When you visit Wpthemereview.com, you’ll see a “SEO score” being assigned to each theme. 
Click on any theme and you’ll see SEO score note below the screenshot of the theme. There are two categories:
1) We like this theme because it…
2) This theme could be improved, though…
As you can see, this site reviews mainly the SEO part of a theme. Nothing much has been told about the coding structure and compatibility issues.
Another problem with this site is the scoring method. There is no specific information as to how the SEO score came about. I even found two Wordpress themes having the same SEO score note but having different SEO score.
On the contrary, I am amazed at how ThemesPreview reviews a theme. The author has outlined the review criteria and grouped them in two sections: must-have criteria and optional criteria.

During the time when I started to layout this theme, I am kind of running out of ideas. I was struggling to make something that would give you the “wow” feelings. Though it is not as appealing as I expect, it took me longer to create this theme than my most beautiful themes during when I was full of inspiration.
Ideas.. ideas.. ideas… I need more great ideas!

The good news is now finally out! Wordpress 2.8, with code name “Baker,” is now available. Once you log on to your Wordpress you will be receiving a notice on the availability for download of this latest Wordpress version.
The most significant feature of the Wordpress 2.8-Baker is its capability to browse for themes from the Dashboard of Wordpress. This means that you are able to specify your color choice, the number of columns that you require and choose between flexible or fixed width, among others.
Wordpress 2.8 comes with a new widgets interface design with enhanced speed. Another great thing about this new version is that it offers solutions for over 790 bugs of the older version.
The other notable features of Wordpress 2.8 include:
* Improved widgets API and widgets admin interface
* Plug in and theme editors with function lookup and syntax highlight function
* Improved loading speed of admin pages through compression and concatenation of script
If you had problems with widgets with the older version, this latest release may well be the solution to your problems. This latest release comes with an enhanced widget interface design which is not available in the 2.7 version. This feature provides multi-functionalities like widgets on the fly editing, multiple copies of widgets, and a lot more.
This latest version of Wordpress is equipped with an enhanced CodePress Editor which will come in handy when you are making tweaks and edits to plugins and themes from your Dashboard. It also comes with contextual documentation capability which is an essential element for the functions in the file that is being edited.
With that said, will my free themes work on this latest version? I made it clear that my free themes will be compatible with the latest Wordpress version so I am taking the time to test my themes on Wordpress 2.8 at the moment. I will announce in Twitter and the theme pages whenever a new theme version that works on WP 2.8 is released.
