We’re planning on offering as many free WordPress templates as we can crank out (or as time allows). Here’s our first template titled OrangeRehash. It’s a clean two-column template that is very expandable and easily customizable with your own graphics. It includes quite a bit of functionality be default, but it can easily be stripped down by editing the theme files.
This is a free template that you can modify as you wish. We do ask that you leave the link back to our site so more people can find us and download their own free WordPress templates. If you need help coming up with a custom header graphic, just leave us a comment and we’ll see what we can come up with.

Since I’m a somewhat creative thinker, I tend to be a little more critical of visual media than most.
