Recently, 5thirtyone.com has released a beautiful WordPress theme for free download. The theme is called Unstandard. It is a grid aligned, uncommon theme for WordPress powered blogs. In the front page, it uses images to describe blog posts. The clean design and contrasting color scheme gives it an elegant look. So, if you are looking for an odd but beautiful theme for your blog, you must try Unstandard.

The Unstandard WordPress theme is released / shared with the intent of breaking the typical blog mold. Farewell to the blase reverse chronological text heavy front pages, and hello to visuals & imagery to lure visitors deeper into your website / blog. A WordPress theme comprised of a – grid aligned – images for forward facing pages, and clean textual presentation on the inner pages. Originally developed for personal use, and modified for release, I felt that an update to the WordPress themes made available on 5thirtyone.com was due.

The Unstandard theme is compatible with WordPress 2.3 and beyond. In order to use it, you must have some knowledge about using custom fields. Though it is a modified version, you can view the demo of this theme on the home page of 5thirtyone.com. I am sure that this theme has started a new trend in WordPress theme designing.
