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

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!
