If you are doing a great job on your blog and posting regularly, sometimes important posts fade away from the home page. Sound familiar? Today, we’re excited about introducing two new themes that come with a featured section for prominently displaying some of these posts.
The first theme is iTheme 2 designed by Themify, is a free theme inspired by the instantly recognizable Apple style design that is perfect for your Mac related tech blog. By activating it, iTheme 2 immediately revamps your blog to a stylish, Apple themed cool blog.
What’s great about iTheme 2 is not only the look but also its features. It offers three color schemes and a cool featured posts carousel on the home page. Go find more about the theme on its showcase page.
The second entry is Bold News, a premium theme from WooThemes. Same as other fantastic themes from them, Bold News is also packed with customizing features as well as a featured posts carousel on the home page. Get the full details on the theme showcase page. You can upgrade your blog to Bold News directly from the showcase, or from your dashboard under Appearance → Themes.

Thank you, WP Team. Both look really good.
Being a huge Apple fangirl, I’m really liking the iTheme 2!! Thanks!
iTheme 2 looks amazing and seeing how I just switched to Skeptical I probably shouldn’t change to another theme again so soon right? 😀
Love love LOVE the idea of the carousel!
Now perhaps I’m being silly here (and just didn’t see the answer above), but are these free themes or fee themes?
WOW !! Great Themes!!
Love both of them! Clean and pleasant to look at.
Wow, I really love the look of iTheme 2. Now the only question is whether I should use iTheme 2 or Dusk To Dawn when I redesign the look of my blog.
Thanks for giving us so many awesome themes!
I love iTheme2!!! Think my blog will stay there for awhile.
Great Looking themes!
Cool themes. I definitely like Bold News and the carousel part of both themes.
iTheme 2 for fruit businesses 😀 apples and plums 😉 just kidding. it is a theme for ballet exercises.
Two more themes with carousels — you listen to the community — I can tell. 😉 Just kidding around. Thanks for more adding more selections.
iTheme2 featured post carousel is pretty cool gadget!!!
Guys on WP always make me hard to choose which theme is best for me.
Should try iTheme soon. You rocks!
Great themes especially the iTheme2. 🙂
Thank you, WordPress!!! I just switched to iTheme2 and LOVE it!
wowowowow. can’t believe the iTheme 2 is FREE! 😀
Lovely themes. Keep it up, really marvelous
iThemeeeeeeee! It’s totally great! Yahooooo!
Thanks so much for share the themes, I really like it.
Yes, please, more themes with FEATURED POSTS! I also love the idea of the featured posts carousel!
PLEASE can you implement those functionalities on more themes? Or even better, could you roll it back to the already existing themes? Like my current theme, Comet, perhaps? Pretty please?
RIP Steve Jobs. Great theme to honour him? I think so!
OK, now I’m convinced to swap. Love the iTheme2 and have made the switch. Thanks WP!
Wow …. love it … thanks for sharing! 🙂
That is great! iTheme 2 is FREE!!!
Really really nice themes! Excellent work!
although I’m not a mac enthusiast I’ll give a try to this theme, it looks really good, and I lke its style, also bold news is an excellent piece of work, keep up the good work, 😀
Very impressionable. iTheme2 will surely be very popular among ‘i’ users. Well done developers.
iTheme2 is really awesome! I will switch soon…
What a good themes! 😀
Both are awesome!!!
Nice one iTheme2! Great job! salute to SJ he really change the world
Love the iTheme. Very nice!
Good job!
I am considering to use this theme
Thank you 🙂
I really like this theme and they really incorporated Apple into this theme.
wow, is it really free?
very beauty ful theme,thank you
The themes keep getting better and better!
I’m trying out itheme2 because I think the Post Carousel is a very good idea! It will take some time, though, to set a featured image on the posts I want to make sticky. I plan on sizing my featured images for iTheme2 (593X261 pixels), and hope they will look right if I switch to another theme that uses featured images!
LOVE the iTheme2. Definitely could be a new look for my music blog. Looks like I’ll have to wait and see 😉 Thank You!
iTheme 2 is free? With all that extras? Sweet!
Cool!!!! I’ll have a try now…
Thanks, usefully for me….
Nice job… both on Apple theme and means of highlighting posts going below radar.
Thanks.
Wow! I LOVE iTheme 2!!!
Oh i’m liking these two. I always look at new themes and might even give one of these a try.

I would like the I theme one if it didn’t have the os background. I much prefer something plain.
Awesome! I’m using iTheme2 now. Thank you so much! More power to your creative team! 🙂
iTheme is wonderful! At last a clear, aesthetic alternative to my hitherto iNove. I have long waited for something like this 🙂
By the way – is there a possibility to turn off the sidebar on selected pages ?
I really love the clean layout of iTheme2 – does it have a full-width layout though? I definitely don’t need the sidebar on every single page.
I’m afraid there is no option to disable sidebar nor a full-width page template in iTheme2. The only way to disable / hide the sidebar is customising the theme CSS with Custom Design upgrade.
Oh. My. God.
The iTheme2, really ROCKS for mine!
This is the perfect theme for me so far!!!!
I can’t believe this theme actually comes true!!!
Activated right away!!
PS.
After I tried it, things I really like from iTheme2 are:
1. It gives a lot more headline spaces for page. It put pages in a proper position.
2. It has custom header.
3. It’s sleek and elegant.
4. It’s very.. Mac. XD
Keep themes like this rolling out! Thumbs up!!
PS.
Oh, and the cons is:
1. The content width is smaller than choco theme.
2. The right sidebar is in a small chuck, unlike in choco theme.
But, oh whatever. Despite the cons, I still love this theme far enough. 😀
I really like these themes! Wow!
Switched to iTheme 2.
WordPress.com needs more magazine type of themes (non-premium). This is one of the best ones by far. I like the featured post thing.
LOVE I-Theme 2–did y’all know I love those kinds of colors? It’s already mine!
iTheme 2 looks amazing and seeing how I just switched to Skeptical I probably shouldn’t change to another theme again so soon right? 😀
Wonderful themes. I will save it use in future…
Wow! To say THIS other theme looks good is simply an understatement. Will try it out!
The Bold News Demo looks very great, hope to try it asap.
Both are cool, especially iTheme 2. But I think I’ll stick to my current theme 🙂
I like iTheme2 a lot. the carousel is truely useful, readers can now straight to my favourite posts.
I prefer itheme2. Yep! Let’s try..
I love the Bold News Demo theme. Very beautiful
Looks great! I added it to my blog and modified the background to my liking! Let me know what you think!
Bold News looks so good. Thinking about buying.
Nice, especially iTheme 2!!
I like Bold News, not sure if it will work with my new background though and doesn’t look like there’s anywhere for my new header!
This theme is awesome, but I still love using the classic wp theme.
Yap. I am excited. I just uploaded stuff. Ready to go.
Thank you WordPress for the great looking themes. I just switched to the iTheme2. And it makes my blog look great. I l love the way it shows off my photographs. And the carousel is so cool to use. Now I can showcase my older posts. Thank you again for your wonderful service. 🙂
I love the iTheme2. I think its really cool
Good themes. Thank you WP team… You’re the best.
