    With 2008 coming to a close in a couple of months, one thing is clear; the rapid rise of Wordpress shows absolutely no sign of slowing down.  The project is going from strength to strength and the volume and quality of free and premium themes released in 2008 is staggering.

    "Dude are you freakin' deaf? I said Wordpress ... not shoulder press!"

    This makes 2008 another epic year for Wordpress users who have more free themes, plug-ins, hacks and fellow users to draw upon than ever before.  Why are these 413 themes the best? Simple … because they were hand picked by some of the top web design and development blogs on the planet then tagged, bookmarked and shared by tens of thousands of people across the major social networks.
