For a few years now I have been working with a few friends on conjuring up a personable news source for our local community: happy hour specials, entertainment, events, and the normal local news. However, I have found it very difficult to bring the creativity from my brain to the table of development. Honestly, using Wordpress as the blog engine and CMS makes perfect sense; but what about a theme to really utilize its full potential.

There are various elements that one really must utilize to make a news source or magazine style website successful. Lots of content, accessible content, feature rich columns and navigation and a beautiful design to go right along with it. Adii from Live Wire has done just that with his new professional news and magazine themes at Live Wire Series from PremiumNewsTheme.com. The themes are feature rich and hearty with design flavor. They’re very top-notch, similar to the styles found at Revolution Theme from Brian Gardener.

I spent a few moments surfing around today and checked out Gazette and the Red Live Wire Series templates. They’re both absolutely beautiful! Then, my good friend David introduced a give-away he is having on , to give away a theme from Adii!. It does not get much better than that, if you asked me.

So, what would I do with the theme? I would hack it all to hell and make it completely functional for my personable news site, which URI will keep secret for now. However, I would definitely put the theme to work and overtime in providing news and content to my fellow local community bloggers and readers. Travis would probably appreciate the fully developed theme to work with as well.

Now how do I acquire it… thats the real question! Working capital for blog startups is always ridiculously tight around here. I often use my pocket book to fund projects that I can guarantee a little return revenue, but I think this is completely worth the money spent.

Great work Adii!
