ZinePress free Wordpress magazine style theme shines!
The new free WordPress magazine style theme, by designer Andrew Lindstrom of the blog Wellmedicated.com is a sharp looking theme.
The theme, just released, is cross browser compatable, widget ready in the sidebar and footer, ad ready and validates in XHTML and CSS.
And did I say it was free.
Great work Andrew. This is the 2nd free theme of Andrew's that I have downloaded. The other one was his great theme Grass Roots, which I have already reviewd on my casual/family blog The Life of Buford.
I wish I had the time to create some of these free themes. It does look like a lot of fun coming up with these ideas. I might just have to take a crack at making one too.

Ahh geez… Thanks for the glowing review, Dennis! You’re too kind.
Creating a Wordpress theme is a huge undertaking, but reading reviews like this makes it totally worth it

@Andrew:
Hey, I only point out good design when I see it.
Is there a good place you could recommend to get instructions on doing a theme? Is wordpress.org a good place to start?

That is a really good question. At first I used a random tutorial that was alright, but definitely not great.
I would totally say start with the Theme Development section of the wordpress site and see where that takes you.
