7 popular features for a better WordPress theme

August 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment

ForTheLose.org lists 7 useful “trends” that designers/developers might want to incorporate into their future WordPress themes:

1. Tabbing System
2. “Featured” Post Display
3. Post Thumbnails
4. Cross-Browser Transparency
5. Animated Dropdown Menus
6. Modal Boxes
7. Theme Options Pages

The term “trend” doesn’t seem too descriptive in this case. Yes, these features are popular right now and any theme author could attract more users by incorporating them, but they’re popular for a reason, and that’s because they actually improve one’s experience while using the theme—whether as a blog reader or a webmaster.
