November 2014: 22 Free WordPress Themes for (almost) All Needs
Bloggers, magazines, content creators, and freelancers are usually having a hard time finding themes to showcase their thoughts, news, articles and products. And even though there are lots of options with WordPress to do this, many of them are poorly designed and do not have the features a content creator needs. Many of the themes featured in the following article include plugins, frameworks, engines, fonts, icons, e-commerce capabilities, multilanguage, retina support and many more additions that improve the experience of the user while using it, and allows the content creator to take advantage of the combined power of these tools.
You see that we have put a slight focus on anything content creation this month. Or is it just a coincidence?! Anyway, take advantage of our finding and start worrying about content creation, not theme choice, from now on.
All these themes are free, though some have commercial variants available. We noted that where applicable...

The themes are great .
I really like the way the content is placed . I love minimalism style and I use it all the time .
Also it takes lots of time to learn that way of designing .
For me this type of style is the best . Sites with overload of elemets don`t attract the visitors .
Yarn Theme is very nice .
Great work .
I think you should add one more theme in the above list that is Zerif Lite. It is a clean and modern one page WordPress theme well suited for digital agencies, studios, business, product showcase, portfolio and other awesome websites. This theme is built on Bootstrap 3 frontend framework which makes it fully responsive and well optimized for tablets, smartphones and other devices. Zerif Lite is SEO friendly that will help you to to sell your goods listed on your eStore. This theme is the right choice if you are looking for one page WordPress theme that can also be used with WooCommerce to build awesome estore.
All the themes are great except some but I like Yarn theme. It is really awesome thanks for that. I always choose the theme with fastest loading time because it helps in SEO. Can you list themes with fastest loading time. Thanks
These themes present a very nice feast to eyes as well as to the mind with their pleasant appeal. Maybe going to use some of them in my work; especially MagazinePro and Torch are fantastic.
Thanks again for sharing this great list.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
