Best Wordpress Themes 101
For the Total Beginner...You'll actually need Wordpress, first!
Wordpress has quickly become the most versatile blogging software platform. It's free, you can install it on your own server, and use your own URL. Best yet are the themes that transform it from a blog into anything that a CMS can do.
Wordpress.com is the site that hosts a Wordpress blog for you. Pros: Nothing to download, a server account isn't needed. Cons: restricted customization, very little expandability.
Wordpress.org is the site where you can download Wordpress software and run it on your server. You'll have total control over the look and feel of your blog using this method. Pros: 100% design/control over your blog, ability to use a URL for your blog. Cons: You need a hosting account and a domain name. Is that really a "con," anyway?
Wordpress MU or "Multi User" was a sub-project of Wordpress.org. It's the same exact software, re-structured to allow your visitors to create their own blogs within your blog - turning Wordpress into a massive, unlimited social networking site. Wordpress MU is now actually a part of Wordpress.org, and is no longer a separate download!
Top 5 Best Wordpress Theme Attributes in 2012
For website longevity...and peace of mind!
2) Shortcodes: A newer inclusion in Wordpress. Shortcodes are basically quick ways for you to insert common elements in a page that would normally take more time and effort to create in your style.css file. They usually include "warning" boxes, icon bullets, drop-caps and other things that take time to code. Thanks to shortcodes, all you'll have to do is type something like [warningbox] in a page, and the warning box will appear. The codes vary and depend on what your theme designer has included in your Wordpress theme.
3) Grid: Yet another new feature seen in today's Wordpress themes is a "grid" layout. This most likely refers to the 960 grid, which is becoming more commonly seen as integrated with today's themes. It allows you to create two, three, four (or way more) column layouts within the body area of a Wordpress post or page.
4) Widgets: You'll thank yourself for getting a fully widgetized Wordpress theme, because it's awfully annoying to have to code it yourself on a theme that doesn't have many widgets. In case you didn't know, widgets are areas reserved on your website (typically the sidebar(s) and footer) where you can drop in code, text or applets and have them appear instantly, rather than having to hard-code these things in by hand.
5) New WP Menus: One of the newer features of this next-generation version of Wordpress are menus that finally work the way we all wanted them to. Now baked in to today's Wordpress version, you can custom tweak exactly what makes it into your top menu (and what doesn't), down to the page! You can even change the order with simple drag-and-drop. However, your theme must have been made to accommodate new menus. Generally, any theme supporting Wordpress 3.0+ has this feature already.
Don't Forget Support! Personally, I wouldn't buy a theme from a designer who never responds to comments or updates their theme. Everything about your theme should be about the future, and what happens to it when new versions of Wordpress are released! The worst case scenario is to have a broken theme and no support from the designer.
