Everyone’s so caught up on using Wordpress as a professional blogging platform to showcase not only their business but to write about whatever they want to get paid for.  However, strangely overlooked is the whole idea of personal blogging and using a great looking theme to pour out your heart to the world.  I can’t tell you how many themes I’ve gone through over the years on my own personal blog as styles have changed and trends have brought new design techniques to the surface.

Jason Schuller over at Press75.com has done it again releasing a smoothly designed, well thought out theme that exploits the dynamic feature set of the Wordpress blogging platform. The Urban Elements Premium Wordpress theme looks like your own personal graffiti wall on the web with it’s own set of built in grungy graphics and drop shadows. The theme features drop down menu navigation and comes packaged with the “Simple Post Thumbnails” and “Simple Video Embedder” plugins.

Adding to the plethora of growing options for premium real estate Wordpress themes, Studiopress‘ Agent Wordpress Theme flies onto the premium theme market with a slick design, cool looks and tons of features.  Capitizing on the same feature rich platform as all the Studiopress themes the Agent Wordpress Theme is a refreshing look at how to sort, categorize and display everything a real estate agent would need in a web site.

From the looks of the demo, the property listings are broken down and organized using posts’ categories and sub-categories.  Please correct me if I’m wrong, Brian, but it looks like the blog is also a category with the “blog-categories” actually being sub-cats to the parent category “blog.”  Which, might I add, is a genius way of organizing all of this, as Wordpress is native to using the post structure to input content.  I’ve seen this done before and it keeps everything neat and tidy.

At the top of the home page is a featured property (or article) image rotator that sources from the published content and links to the specific post (or property) that it displays.  This is fed from the Featured Content Gallery plugin.  The theme demo seems to show that the sidebar is a single column that’s broken into a double column below.

Again, this is a great example of using Wordpress as a CMS system adding a wide variety of versatility to any site idea.

Studiopress has tons of other themes available as well.

Some of the many features include:

Widget-Ready – If you are looking for ease-of-use, WordPress widgets are the way to go. Without having to know how to code, you can simply drag-n-drop to create the look you desire for your blog.

Theme Options Page – Our WordPress themes use a theme options page that allows you to easily customize the way your blog looks. Simply select from drop-down choices what categories you want to display or the number of posts to show and even what size you want your thumbnail images. You can also simply toggle between using a custom image or dynamic text for your header logo area.

Ready for Advertising – Most of our themes are ready for advertising. All you need to do is insert your advertising code, like Google Adsense, Azoogle Ads, Clicksor, or any others, into the advertising widgets and start collecting your advertising revenue.

Comment Functionality – One method of holding your website visitor’s attention is through discussion of your articles. WordPress achieves this through the use of Comments and our themes use the latest features of WordPress including threaded comments and Gravatar integration.

Developed for Localization – A new feature for StudioPress themes is that they are being developed for localization. This means that you can now translate these themes into your own native language! Currently the Church, Education, Lifestyle and Streamline themes have this feature, but we will be updating all themes to include this as quickly as we can.

PSD Files Included – Another way to attract visitors to your blog is through the use of great-looking graphics, which the StudioPress themes have. Many members have a design-look in mind and to make it easier to change the graphics we provide the Photoshop Document (PSD) files of the graphic files we use.

Lifetime Support – Need help fixing a problem or making a minor modification to your theme? Let’s face it; technology doesn’t always work as smoothly as we all want. So, if you need help, our support is world-class and our team consists of over 20 moderators from all over the world, who provide solutions and help to our 12,000+ members, many of which help other members.

WordPress & Theme Tutorials – Whether you are looking to get up to speed with your WordPress knowledge or ready to get your brand new StudioPress theme working, our tutorials will teach you what you need to know.

Approved Designers – Maybe you are a busy businessperson or don’t want to spend the time creating your website blog. We provide a list of talented, freelance WordPress designers/customizers that you can hire to provide you with the look you want. Many of the blogs in our Showcase were created by these creative people.

Literally just released this morning, Gorilla Themes has released a great new real estate theme for agents and real estate companies alike.  The Smooth Real Estate premium Wordpress theme further exploits the ease at which Wordpress can be used as a CMS allowing the ease of adding multiple properties, agents and photo galleries.

One of the things I like about these real estate themes is that they come fully capable of actually being used as a real estate theme.  The Gorilla themes team has developed a real estate plugin that makes the back-end inputing of properties a snap.

“Everything runs on the Real Estate plugin, you click on Add listing and you will be taken to a page similar to “Add posts” page but with more information to fill and the photo gallery upload. All properties are individual “posts”. . .  As far as Agents, they are regular users and you fill their info in the profile page (bio, etc). . .  All the dropdowns are built on the categories then you can select how many dropdowns and what they will show on an admin page.”
