Free Blog Layouts
Free blog layouts are not hard to find at all. In order to be available for free, blog layouts are released under the Creative Commons License which grants you the right to use and modify the layout, provided that you keep the links included by the author in the footer intact. In case you think that you can delete the links and get away with that, then you should know that most of the times, at least for Wordpress blog layouts, the author receives an email each time somebody installs his theme for the first time. If he checks on your blog to see how you implemented that free layout and the links are not there, you got caught. So you’d better think twice in case you usually get rid of those links in the footer. Besides, leaving them there shows respect and appreciation for the author’s work: after all, you are allowed to use his work for free, so he deserves this small sign of recognition from your side.

We put together this small guide of free themes, because we got this question from a reader who wanted to know where he could find some fresh new themes for his blog. As he mentioned, many repositories contain the same themes. This is normal, because the authors submitted their themes in as many places as they could find, so some of them can be found all over the place.
