Best of: WordPress 3-Column Themes
September 12th, 2007
[Last Updated: September 30, 2007]
While most full time bloggers seem to use and prefer 2-column WordPress themes, there is no doubt that 3-column themes are definitely more popular among the blogging masses. This can be attributed to many things, but the most appealing thing seems to be the ability to place more sidebar stuff above the fold on your blog, including advertisements, subscription buttons, and other important sidebar content that needs to be seen by readers.
This post is designed as a way to collect some of my favorite 3-column WordPress themes that are available for anyone to download. I’ve tried to include if the theme is widget ready or not whenever possible:

Hi Kyle, thanks for adding my theme to your list.
Cheers.
Silhouette Theme is the one I use for my new blog, BlogScrutiny.com, I absolutely love it!
You’ve definitely gotta be careful with the three column themes though…sometimes they push too much info into the sidebar and it forces people to not want to look over there.
Moses – You’re welcome. It made the list because I really like it. Great work!
Michael – That is probably one of my favorites on the list.
Ryan – I prefer two column themes for a few reasons, and that is one of them
