Red Earth is a two column Wordpress theme, the Wordpress theme is ideal for female bloggers or those that maintain blogs as their persona diary. It was designed with simplicity in mind and uses the Eras Demi Light ITC font for its header title, it can be substitute with Arial Black.

The quality of the themes being released is really amazing me, the work put into these themes are tremendous, and yet it’s being released for FREE, i believe this will push the designers of “Premium Themes” (paid) to produce even better themes, which of course is a good thing in the long run for WordPress users.

Yet again a good post. I have been keeping myself up-to-date on your blog for about a month now and I really love coming here. Keep up the good work!
I gotta say though the Branford Magazine theme to me looks like a complete Revolution Theme rip-off. Just my 2cents.

Thanks for featuring our theme, I do like the idea that quality of the themes have significantly improved with the introduction of paid premium themes. We make it available for free, however, we up-sell with our customization platforms/projects, making possible the development of free themes.

@DeFries: you say:”I gotta say though the Branford Magazine theme to me looks like a complete Revolution Theme rip-off. ”
Actually (and that´s stated in the themes discription, redme file and elsewhere) it´s a combo of parts from three different themes. even if i took inspiration from two page layouts of the “Revolution” theme, I didn´t copy a single line of code. The look is very similar but it´s no copying or rip off. By the way, many more features where adopted from “Mimbo” than from “Revolution”.

Questions on Massive and Branford – do they have Gravatar enabled for comments? And are they Adsense friendly? Thanks.
