50 Best Premium WordPress Themes of 2008
2008 has been a productive year for WordPress theme development and the premium/paid/proprietory theme industry. I have chosen fifty of my favourite premium themes released this year, which I feel are all attractive and innovative in their design and features.
I found it really difficult to limit myself to just 50 themes, as there are so many great themes available. Do you agree with my selections, or have I omitted your favourites? Let me know in the comments.
