The changes are coming. September also seems to be a great month for planning, particularly from a blog point of view.

One team I’m working with are integrating a number of social media services to their blog - the likes of Twitter, Blip.fm, QIK etc.

Another team I’m helping integrate their Wordpress installation with their phpBB installation while assisting them with a redesign of their current Wordpress template. In fact, at present I’m working on five new Wordpress templates for client and personal project releases, including a redesign of my original blog. That, plus a slightly modified layout for Pro Freelance Blogger.

So all this Wordpress theming and scheming that I’ve found myself in for the month of September got me thinking - why not release some of the themes I’ve been developing.

That said, I’m asking you for your input. While I’m considering releasing themes I’ve already developed, I’m looking at releasing a number of new themes and would like your input - what do you look for in a Wordpress theme. Do you prefer the magazine approach? Standard 2-column, 3-column? Plugin-heavy or no-plugins required? Additional theme functionality and options or not?

Feel free to leave a comment or let me know via email.
