   Nice! I love Rubric and White as Milk. Very clean.

   how come i can’t see “rubric?
3. James Jan 28th at 2:40 am

   Three of them look pretty nice, but Rubric is missing. It does not appear in with the other themes. I even searched the page for the name. What happen?
4. Matt Jan 28th at 2:42 am

   It wasn’t deployed to all the servers properly, if you reload now you should see it.

   Brilliant matt, absolutely brilliant.. I’m loving all this and Worpdress is getting better and better. Thanks a ton for responding to the feedback of us users and getting these themes up..

   One more thing, could you change the basic font for the Contempt theme, Tahoma or Verdana would definitely rock.

   Thank you & may the revolution rock!

   De muito bom gosto este tema. Me impressionou muito. Aliás, todos os temas são de ótimo bom gosto.

   Shocking Blue Green 1.0 – nice one

   I really like those thanx! Well, white as milk is too simple for me but I think some people would still like it…

   Rubric is really very very nice…clean!!

    thank you for the great themes.

    Are you still accepting requests? Because I’d really like to see Red Is Nice be added.

    I like these. Thanks for adding them!

    One question, though: Why doesn’t Regulus show up on some older browsers? It looks great on Safari, but when I pull it up in IE — or, God forbid, try to look at it on my ancient Mac at work, which is an OS 9.2 machine with a rather geriatric version of Netscape — it says it’s finished loading but just shows a blank screen.

    Also, is there any chance Toni and some of the others that don’t currently display taglines could be modified to display them? Toni is my favorite (the daisies look appropriate for hippy-dippy me), but it doesn’t show my tagline.

    Thanks for all the great new themes. I just love Rubric.
14. T8y8 Jan 30th at 4:23 am

    Great new themes!

    However, the new themes suffer from the same problem as the default wordpress theme. The RSS feeds have a ‘feed:’ in the url, making it return an error when clicked in IE, Firefox, and Opera.

    Thanks so much for the new themes. I’ll stay with Regulus since it has a calendar. Could you find a few more themes that have a calendar? I especially like China Red. That theme would also appeal to those who are asking for a dark theme. Keep up the good work.

    I love that you are adding new themes every Friday. 🙂 You still need more warm colored themes, though. I suggest: Red Train, China Red, and Anthurium Mix. China Red is probably the best warm theme I’ve seen which doesn’t have a dominent theme image. Red Train is a rare combination: a warm urban design…and doubles as a travel theme (plan your vacation blog now!) 😉 You are sorely lacking in floral designs, so Anthurium also does double duty as a warm theme and a floral theme.

    And speaking of florals: Just A Tulip, Mixed Bouquet, and Iris are all beautiful and varied. With spring around the corner, you should give a thought to adding these, too. 🙂

19. drhaisook Jan 31st at 2:50 am

    Thanks.

    I’d like also to see more themes with font: [Arial 8pt]

    Thanks again.

    Rubric 1.0 is a great theme. I like it. Its column is a bit wider than others, which can cover more content. thanks
21. blaze Jan 31st at 1:39 pm

    Keep up the good work guys.

    Cheers!

    thanks! i’ve changed to White as Milk!

    What about WP-Andreas09 then? Of all 3 column themes, that is my true fav… And the only way I can use it is to ask again! So… please!
25. nokrev Feb 1st at 5:00 am

    Thanks Matt. However, as noted on the forums, if you use `` tags, you'll find the hidden yellow in Fresh Bananas.

    Again, thanks for including my theme. :)
26. shashikiran Feb 1st at 2:39 pm

    Rubric is good.However there are no customizable themes other than Regulus 2. 😦
27. Damien Feb 1st at 4:06 pm

    Great themes – can we have a 3 col layout please …. so can add in modules from last.fm and other sites

    So thrilled that you continue to add themes to the wordpress.com repertoire (sp?)! And I’m excited about the trend of adding new themes on Friday! Gives us something to look forward to in addition to the weekened 🙂 Nice choices — I’ve just switched my wordpress.com blog’s theme over to Rubric

    One note regarding the previous addition of the Banana Smoothie theme — I can’t see that theme as being suitable for many blogs due to it’s banana graphics on the page, the smoothie recipe, etc and am not sure why it was one of the few themes out of so many options that was chosen when there are still so many themes that would be far more pleasing to a wider audience.

    IMHO, themes like WP-Andreas09, which were designed specifically to take advantage of the new Theme Options tab should be given priority.

    And how ’bout some more themes that would appeal to a large audience like Flex (or Tonus), Maple Leaf, Blue Radiant, Gentle Calm, FastTrack, fSubtle, Gila, and as requested by others, Anthurium Mix, China Red, Red Train..

    Also, artsemerging is a nice clean theme and satisfies a lot of requests in that it has a calender, displays pages and subpages, displays child categories beneath their parent categories, etc.

    I love themes 🙂 (does it show?)
29. comodisc Feb 2nd at 7:31 am

    I’m loving the choices, makes it easy to find one that totally fits… and theme Friday is always good news

    Themes are great, for cookie cutters. Kudos to the theme authors for devoting the time to build these fine themes.

    With something as personal as blogging, its akin to being forced to wear one of several uniforms. This is a neverending “can we add x theme” quest. That said, why can’t we just edit the theme ourselves?

    White as Milk 1.0 Theme doesn’t seem to show the trackback URI on each post. Can you update the template to support it please?
32. lihatlah Feb 3rd at 4:52 pm

    i love hemmingway very much.
    i looks macho right 🙂
33. sani Feb 3rd at 5:19 pm

    I would love to see Iris and Mixed Bouquet added!
    They are both great for Spring!
34. andrea Feb 4th at 6:18 am

    I love the new themes. Nice work! 😀

    I am a web site designer and a minimalist, if that means that I use Flash sparingly and build all my sites with XHML & CSS. I chose your “milk” theme strictly because it is simple, clean, neat, and way cool.
    I gotta say that, after viewing (and trying to install) a dozen blogs, WordPress is simply the best.
    I know that people express their thanks to you guys for all your work, but speaking as a designer I realize that you took on a bear of a job and made it work splendidly. That’s a helluva job. Thank you,

    Cool themes! I especially like the Rubric one. 🙂
37. bermudahomeschooler Feb 5th at 7:55 pm

    White as Milk–I like the fact that it shows the about/tagline, shows categories used, and categories links. Default Blue, Sapphire, and Contempt also do that. I love the colors in Blix, can you please change the categories and links to the functionality of those mentioned above.

    Hemingway is cool too if it had same functionality as above and came in lighter, funner greens. Thanks

    Love the work, thanks for all the sweat (and blood?) you guys put into this. 🙂 Just deleted half my comment when I saw the instructions not to ask questions here. 😛 Maybe that should be at the TOP of the “Leave a Reply” section…
