			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Updated: September 24, 2011!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>It has been awhile since I&#8217;ve created one of our popular <a href="http://wphacks.com/wordpress-themes/">WordPress theme galleries</a>, so I decided it was time to build a new one. In the past I&#8217;ve always taken the approach of trying to remove any personal bias and just display the WordPress themes and demo/download information in a manageable way so that the reader can choose their favorite themes that they&#8217;d like to use.</p>
<p>This time I decided to comb the internet looking for my personal favorite free WordPress themes and display them below in a convenient format.  Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that there aren&#8217;t many free themes available these days, so I&#8217;ve decided to throw in my favorite <a href="http://wphacks.com/best-premium-wordpress-themes-gallery/">premium WordPress themes</a> at the bottom of this post as an alternative for those serious about blogging!</p>
<p>This theme gallery is broken down into the following categories (click the link to be taken to the section you are looking for):</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#2Column">Free 2-Column WordPress Themes</a></li>
<li><a href="#3Column">Free 3-Column WordPress Themes</a></li>
<li><a href="#4Column">Free 4-Column WordPress Themes</a></li>
<li><a href="#Magazine">Free Magazine WordPress Themes</a></li>
<li><a href="#VideoPhoto">Free Video &amp; Photo WordPress Themes</a></li>
<li><a href="#Premium">Best Premium WordPress Themes</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This post is updated regularly, so if you find you are often in the market for a free WordPress theme, bookmark this post and check back regularly!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a number of great free <a href="http://wphacks.com/wordpress-themes/">WordPress themes</a> out there, but it is often difficult to make a quality 4-column theme. I&#8217;ve found that there is definitely a market out there <a href="http://wphacks.com/best-4-column-wordpress-themes/">4-column WordPress themes</a>, however, so when a good one comes along, you know that it will be heavily used.</p>
<p>Today I ran across a new quality 4-column WordPress theme from Blog Oh Blog called <a href="http://www.blogohblog.com/wordpress-theme-techicon/">Techicon</a>. This theme is widget ready, does a great job of blending the columns so it looks like a three column theme, and takes into account some of the latest trends from around the blogosphere.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-288" href="http://wphacks.com/techicon-free-4-column-wordpress-theme/techicon-theme-2/" title="Techicon Theme"><img src="http://wphacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/techicon-theme.jpg" alt="Techicon Theme" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see from the screenshot above, this theme has a menu at the top above the header and features some of your blogs content at the top of the page, including popular posts, recent posts, and latest comments for your readers to see. It also displays the RSS feed in a prominent position.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to give this theme a try, you can <a href="http://wpthemes.blogohblog.net/index.php?wptheme=techicon">check out the demo</a> and then <a href="http://www.blogohblog.com/download/techicon.zip">download it here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In previous posts I featured some of my favorite <a href="http://wphacks.com/best-wordpress-2-column-themes/">2-column WordPress themes</a>, as well as <a href="http://wphacks.com/best-wordpress-3-column-themes/">3-column WordPress themes</a>.  Those will likely get the most attention, but I&#8217;ve found that there are several bloggers out there that really enjoy 4-column themes.  If done properly, a 4-column theme can move a lot more stuff above the fold while at the same time give your blog a fantastic look.</p>
<p>Some WordPress theme designers are truly talented and have managed to make these work, so I&#8217;ve decided to create a large collection of these themes and throw them out there in all their glory for everyone to see.    Here is my compilation of my favorite 4-column WordPress themes:</p>
<p><strong>Techicon Theme (Widget Ready)<br />
