News is a new type of magazine style Wordpress theme by Quommunication. News Wordpress theme sports a clean look that focuses mainly on, well, news about the topic you blog about.

When you click on any particular category, the category results list features the latest news item in that category within a cool looking colored area so it really stands out. Other features include:

• Clean & Well Commented Code
• Valid & Cross-Browser Compatible
• No Images, Just CSS

• Sub-Category Support
• No Plugins Needed
• Widget Ready
• Customization Support

The News magazine style Wordpress theme will set you back $75. Quommunication has no affiliate program at this time and no immediate plans to implement one.

When I first saw the News Wordpress theme, something about it was quite appealing to. So I took myself on a grand tour of the demo blog to really get inside the goods. It is lightening fast! No waiting for graphics to load.

Maybe I have fallen victim to a little Internet “A-D-D” but I found the News theme a little boring about 4 clicks into it. Sure, there was lots to read but I needed something more to look at. Or maybe I just got a little spoiled drooling over Brian Gardner’s magazine themes.

Still, if you are looking for a fast loading Wordpress theme, with a clean plain look, then give News a try.

Are you ready for News?
