Now, you have to have sign up for at least $60 package to get a single theme. Same quality free magazine themes you can get at <a href="http://themehybrid.com/" rel="nofollow">ThemeHybrid</a> by my favorite theme developer, Justin Tadlock. They are free and have good support.

It seems that even the extremely well hidden text link has now also gone. Like others have mentioned, I don't remember having this much trouble downloading any other open source files. I think if I do manage to find the themes and successfully download them, I will put them up on my blog for download. I promise not to hide the link.... lol. Mark Bartlett.

Open source means free to develop, free support ... I have some experience working with Wordpress and I can do a lot customizations by myself. But Revolution seems to be very complicated for even most simple things (like the look of index page and the featured categories). After using Options theme, all other premium themes who needs intervention in code seems like "bad idea"?! I'm really looking forward to your setup guides! Hi Neveen

After going through the site, I realized their intention of selling support packages. What is the need of getting a premium theme free without knowing how to set it up properly? They should have kept the downloading links prominent and added a set up guide to the themes. They should have used the word "free themes" rather than "open source" themes. As I already said, when something is free, we can't question the quality. I am thinking to write setup guides for these themes at least one theme a week. Once again, thanks! Hi Eslick:

I can certainly understand why you were frustrated, but the good news is these support packages are what allows the themes to be free! I think we can agree that the themes they are giving away for free (unsupported) far surpass many themes that people are paying $75.00+ for all the time. The support packages also include support for ALL themes for one price, instead of the old setup which only got you one theme and support. With all that said, I am glad you were finally able to find the download link and get your theme(s)! Hi Naveen,
