A theme like Arthemia

    Hello everyone.

    I was looking at: http://michaelhutagalung.com/arthemia/ and was really interested in this theme. But then I saw the following parts are missing in the free edition (more comparisions in the link below):

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    The most significant difference between the two versions is the theme administration panel, which is included in the premium version. Arthemia Free users would probably be familiar to experiencing the time-consuming installation and configuration as they have to deal with ‘invisible’ category ID in WP 2.5+ and the never-ending frustration caused by the Post Custom Field while trying to assign thumbnail for posts. Novice users would find everything even more difficult as they do not have enough skill and knowledge about PHP, (X)HTML, and CSS to do all the stuff. Then, the theme administration panel is the one-stop-solution to address all those issues.

    Since I don’t want to pay 70$ right now I’m wondering if there are themes like Arthemia out there right now for free or much cheaper. I know 70$ is not actually much but since I’m not sure the theme will work (this is my first IT-project), I’m not ready to pay 70$.

    So, are there any themes like Arthemia? The theme must look good, have an admin panel, have many functions and a slidebar must be available. Please tell me if you know.

    you answered your own question:

    try the free arthemia,
    and if you like it and reach a point where the customisation gets too time consuming or difficult,
    make a new decision if the effort is worth $70.

    you will not find many free themes with an extensive admin panel.
    and what is considered ‘good looks’ and ‘many functions’ is personal opinion.

    Thanks for the answer.

    I did like this. I tested Arthemia but then decided to go for BranfordMagazine, which is a great theme.
