  I really love the theme I’m using (Springloaded) but is there a way it can have two sidebars? I’d like to have one running down either side as my one sidebar is getting too long and i’d like to even it up both sides, if possible.

  Thanks

  I also love the Notepad Chaos theme, suggested by misuoho

  Can we have more themes along this vein, girly (but not pink!), not business-like, but creative, messy, arty type themes, with a variety of colours/sidebars/ custom header etc options?

  Thanks, that’d be greeat!

  (from the OP of a thread I started by accident)

  http://allancole.com/wordpress/themes/autofocus/

  Since we already have Monotone, why not add another photo blogging theme to the fray? Autofocus is clean, simple, and very beautiful.

  I have found that WordPress has the worst blog themes out there. It is very frustrating to find a theme here. They are all very boring and do not allow for much creativity. Please add more themes! I think I am not the only one who is thinking of changing blog sites simply because WordPress has terrible themes. Change your themes now please!

  Seriously…why are there so many “free wordpress themes” that we can’t import?

  Seriously … the many wordpress themes out there that cannot be used at wordpress. COM are not coded to run on wordpress. com software. They are coded for wordpress. ORG software. Therefore they must be adapted to run on wordpress. COM

  Setting that aside, you probably are not aware that many of those wordpress themes out there, which are coded to run on individual wordpress.ORG installs actually have sponsored links, and some also have hidden links. Here at wordpress.com only GPL licensed themes that do not have such links in them will be considered for inclusion.

  In addition to that there is no ability whatsoever for individual bloggers to “import” themes into wordpress. COM just as there is no ability to have individual plugins. There is no FTP access to wordpress. COM

  Now that I have answered your question I would like to give you some advice. High quality and reliable Web hosting is NOT expensive. For the cost of one fancy coffee at Starbucks one can acquire reliable, high quality wordpress hosting, download free software from wordpress.ORG and self host their own site. In that case then one will have FTP access and can upload any free wordpress themes and plugins they so choose.

  Here are the differences between wordpress.COM blogs and individual wordpress.ORG installs

  Here are several web hosting services that are recommended and the prices they charge http://wordpress.ORG/hosting/

  I’m wondering how the .com software is different form .org. Of course, the core code has been edited a lot to adapt the upgrades, etc. But I can’t see how it would affect themes.

  Clarification?
