Free Templates from ClarkLab and LoonDesign


There is a new contest running over at LoonDesign giving away a whole slew of free website templates. LoonDesign is hosting the contest, giving away a theme of his own, along with many donated from the ThemeForest community and premium theme club ElegantThemes. I threw in two copies of QuikTab, my new premium, one-page WordPress theme powered by jQuery. It’s available now for just $12 on ThemeForest.

Ok, enough talk, head on over to the contest page on LoonDesign for a shot at some great, free templates and WordPress themes.

Templamatic’s First Free Theme

Today we started a new feature over at Templamatic called Free Template Friday. Today’s free template is WPViddler, a video blog theme powered by WordPress and Viddler. It features the most recent videos, video commenting, a separate blog and video section, a widget ready sidebar, and is designed for use with WordPress 2.5.

I’m not sure if I’m even going to keep working on this, I just thought I’d post a preview of what I’m working on.

Its a little bit weird for my taste, but I think it might look more normal as I get more content in it. I don’t really like the navigation, its just there to balance out the title text for now. I guess its back to Photoshop for a while, see where it goes. I’ll come back and update if anything interesting happens, haha.
