Funny, was just thinking last night I wonder if there is a “pinterest” theme or application for WordPress yet.. thanks for the list. Figured if there are “groupon scripts” for $499.00 someone can make WP become a Pinterest site.
These are just a few initial Pinterest WordPress themes, I’m sure there will be plenty more coming out in the near future. Just like copycats of Facebook, or Digg, etc.
Yeah it always happens that way. I’m sure there will be “pinterest” sites that fill niches next. Once Groupon hit it big 1000s of clones and niches hit next.
Hey Tj. I agree. that the next phase- niche pinterest sites that addresses a need. I’ve been tinkering with a niche idea lately using the pinterest visual concept, but I need help. Do you have any ideas of someone (or you) willing to come on board?
I’m still waiting for someone to create one that mimics the “Pinterest Board” page and organization form.
Hoping that’s just around the corner.
PS:
One of the great things about Pinterest for sharing is that it avoids the issue of what you share getting buried deep into your own thread (Facebook or typical blog feed.)
Yes, many blogs have categories you can click on like Pinterest boards for organized content, but Pictures / Boards at front and center > Words / TOC style on the right IMHO.
So I’ll wait.
Agree with you DJ W. I want to see the REAL pinterest theme. not trying to match style, but usability of pinterest. some of above ones suck. for example i tried Shakken and Grid FREE and it’s disaster – you have to upgrade just have comments?! not really wordpress free theme, more just ad for premium version.
above is great collection of themes. thanks for that. it would be great to hear experience from other wp users. cheers
By the time someone creates an actually Pinterest WordPress Clone, the possibilities of standing out in the market will more than likely be very slim.
Thank you for showing us those great themes. :)
4 beautiful themes indeed… I’m not sure of which one to pick, but I am glad that you shared. This really helps me out a lot. Thanks.
Excellent WordPress themes with low cost. thanks for sharing this information.
There’s another theme that I absolutely LOVE, and it does a much better job of capturing a more unique Pinterest feel to me. It’s called LiquidFolio (demo available at http://liquidfolio.queldorei.com/) and it’s not just blog posts with featured images that can benefit from the Pinboard-like setup. Video, audio, tweets and other status updates as well as links, quotes (for for business websites, testimonials) and regular blog content can all be a part of the setup. In my opinion this makes the theme MUCH more versatile. And I love that it’s responsive, something that’s a must WP themes these days.
Perhaps you can add in a screen shot and a short description as an update to your post!
