While most full time bloggers seem to use and prefer 2-column WordPress themes, there is no doubt that 3-column themes are definitely more popular among the WordPress blogger masses. This can be attributed to many things, but the most appealing thing seems to be the ability to place more sidebar stuff above the fold on your blog. This can help you better monetize your blog by allowing more room for advertisements, subscription buttons, and other important sidebar content that needs to be seen by your readers.
This post is designed to be a spot to collect screen shots and download information about my favorite 3-column WordPress themes that have been made available to the WordPress community. I decided to avoid displaying any themes that cost money, and I’ve tried to include additional information about the theme then possible, including if it is widget ready or SEO friendly, etc.:

Sunday, March 30th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Good Wordpress Themes
Friday, April 11th, 2008 at 9:42 am
wow, some excellent themes there. i’m a big fan of the themes created by design disease. i use two, both of which are listed here - smashing theme and illacrimo. both are really well done - particularly in terms of looks. illacrimo i found a little buggy but managed to get around that with a couple of easy fixes. they’re fairly easy to customise as well if you know your way around stylesheets.
if you want to see these themes in action, then you can see them here:

anyhow, good work, great to see so many quality themes in one place.

For SEO benefits, it is advisable when you’re choosing a classic 3 column layout is making sure the content column precedes both left and right column. You won’t have to worry if the left-most column is designated to hold all your WordPress entries.
Sunday, August 17th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Very beautiful themes. I especially like the Velocity theme. I just installed it for a friend. Keep up the great work.

nice themes , i used to see great designs for wordpress and i think that “Langit Theme” is the best and more popular
Saturday, January 31st, 2009 at 10:23 am
There are few great themes that I can certainly add into my collection and use them. No doubt about it!
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at 10:27 am
It is the choice of themes like these that make me love Wordpress so much. It just keeps me coming back.
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
I really don’t understand the idea of blogs having no colors at all and be praised with “great designs” when there are no visuals in the first place…
personally, when i check into blogs or websites…one thing that attracts me first are the eyecandy that these sites have… alienware has never failed to amaze me in terms of websites… and for blogs… there hardly are any blog themes that would interest me lately… it was just lucky for me to get myself a “jeans” concept theme for my blog
Sunday, February 8th, 2009 at 2:10 am
really nice themes in your list…thnx for tips…
Sunday, February 8th, 2009 at 11:51 am
I’ve been looking for a good 3 column layout for awhile and this is by far the best list I have seen!
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
