Template Monster Introduces New Designs for Blogosphere

Brooklyn, N.Y., April 16, 2006 Template Monster, the largest website template provider on the Web, has started producing themes for WordPress – the #1 open source blogging platform available today.

The new Template Monster themes are optimized for the latest 2.0.2 release of WordPress. Template Monster plans to enhance its WordPress themes in the future by adding sample AdSense blocks designed to match a particular theme to make it easier for bloggers to profit from their blogs.

“We use WordPress for our corporate blog and liked WordPress software so much that we contributed five free themes to the WordPress community earlier this year,” says David Braun, CEO of Template Monster. “The free themes got great feedback and we have received many requests for new WordPress themes. That is why we decided to start a new product line. We are excited about this product as WordPress is a really great blogging platform and we see lots of opportunities where we can add value to it.”

"We're excited that TemplateMonster will be offering their professionally designed web site templates to the WordPress community.” says Toni Schneider, CEO of Automattic, the parent company for WordPress. “WordPress makes it easy for designers to create custom UI templates and for bloggers to integrate those templates into their blogs. TemplateMonster's free sample templates have been well received by WordPress users and we look forward to working with TemplateMonster on the new template lines.”

The WordPress team made it easy to launch and maintain a website. Template Monster now allows any website powered by WordPress to have a great look that will be very pleasing to its visitors.
