In this post you will find a bunch of Exceptionally Good Wordpress Themes and details on why they stand out from the rest.

Wordpress is a seriously popular blogging platform but with popularity comes endless options offered by the huge community. This is certainly a major advantage and it means you’re never alone with a problem. But there are literally tons of Free Themes and Plugins that you can combine in endless ways introducing a risk that looking around for the perfect setup removes focus from the main purpose…creating content for your blog readers.

Going for a Premium Theme may get you started much faster but what should you look for and is it possible to find Free alternative that provides the features normally only found in Premium Themes?

Bamboo – Free WordPress Theme

Today we have a pretty cool looking blog template designed by Rambling Soul. I then took the template and ported it to WordPress (with a bit of help). This theme features an unusual vertical page navigation, visible on the left side, as well as a featured post area. There are also two widgetized areas. This theme is built for WordPress 2.7 and above, and has features such as threaded comments and pagination.
