The Swift Theme
Probably the fastest loading of the WP Magazine Templates on this page.
Swift Themes
Click on this link for the Free WordPress Theme Download!
Here is a Free WP Theme in the popular Magazine style that really has a lot going for it.
First off the the Swift WP Magazine Templates Theme is designed to be fast loading. While many people do not consider this when looking for free WP Themes, it is important to your potential users. How long are you willing to wait for a site to load after you click on it while doing a Google Search? If you are like most people 15 seconds and you are on to the next site. So Speed counts alot!
Next Swift is Seo Optimized. Now I have not researched it enough to know how they have optimized it but I will take their word on it. Also note that there are a variety of free WP Plugins for SEO. A few of my favorites are All in one SEO and Keywpord statistics. Check out those plugins when you get the chance.
The SWIFT WP Magazine Templates features a variety of sidebar options which I REALLY Like. getting your sidebars (the areas to either side of your blog or article entries) exactly the way you want them is critical to a blog in my opinion and I don’t want to be forced to use a certain size add or to squeeze my list of recent blog entries into a narrow 1.5 inch side bar widget for example. Swift is also Adsense ready and advertisement ready.

Thank you for the good theme. I have download one. Thanks..
Thanks for posting this article. I’m definitely frustrated with struggling to search out pertinent and intelligent commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight..
