WordPress world is full of great paid themes and it takes a lot of money to get an amazing blog magazine going.  I know I have spent money on those.  And, with so many themes being licensed only for one time usage, it can be a lot of money if you want to have a portfolio of websites or blogs.  So, now I have gotten on the mission to find ways to have a top rate blog magazine using just free stuff.  With that in mind, I have identified some amazing wordpress themes that you can use to get the blog magazine you want.

TA Magazine is decidedly one of the top free responsive magazine theme that I would recommend. No matter hat kind of website you are going for, whether news websites, online magazines, personal blogs or any type of editorial related website. Use this. Why? Here’s why.

Responsive / Bootstrap: It has been made with Bootstrap 3+ and the content adjusts automatically no matter what type of screen the user has.

Custom Widgets: It has a lot of amazing custom widgets. The kinds you would only get in a very expensive premium theme. Just this is good enough to make this theme a real winner. They are – Post Tabs, Ultimate Posts, Popular Posts with thumbnail support, Latest Comments, Silde Show, MailChimp Newsletter.

Flexible Layout: You can use a left, right or both sidebars. And they are easy to configure.

Social Sharing: This is such a big problem with so many blogs I have created on WordPress. You never seem to get the right plug-in. So, am I glad that they have integrated Sharrre Which not only has high-res share buttons but also counts for each posts!

Related Posts and Navigation: It has an awesome way to show the Related posts under every article. Not just that, the theme also comes with navigation for links to previous and next article in the sidebar.
