I’ve finally gotten around to releasing Slick Blue, which is my first free WordPress theme.  Here is a screenshot:

SlickBlue Theme

Slick Blue is a 2-column widget-ready theme that features the following:

  • 125×125 Banner Slots – Just replace the pictures and links with the appropriate code in the 125×125 banners file.
  • SEO Friendly – I have gone through the code to make it as optimized for search engines as possible, using the appropriate headers, etc.
  • Advertising Friendly – In addition to the banner slots mentioned above, you can easily plugin in PPC code (Google AdSense, BidVertiser or Yahoo Publishers Network) in the appropriate php file (named AdSenseLinks, AdSenseBanner, AdSenseBlocks).
  • Widget-Ready – Theme is widget-ready.
  • Comments/Trackbacks – I have separated the comments and trackbacks to help your readers follow comment conversations.
  • Gravatars – Features built-in Gravatar support (no plugin required).
  • Social Networking – Built-in social networking buttons below each post.
  • Improved Footer – I’ve moved most of the archives to the footer. This is also a great place to put a MyBlogLog widget if you prefer to have one on your blog.
  • Plugin Support – Is already setup to work with several WordPress plugins.

You should be able to find everything you need here, including a demo and a link to download.  All feedback is welcome!
