Blog Oh! Blog has announced their newest theme–DailyPress. While it probably doesn’t have anything to do with my local newspaper of the same name, the DailyPress theme looks as though its trying to bridge the gap between those news/magazine themes that we’ve been seeing a lot of lately and the traditional blog.

And it does a pretty good job of it.

The layout is streamlined and utilitarian with a definite focus on the post of the day and the homepage includes built in links for sharing the latest post across all sorts of mediums. However, I doubt the usefulness of this feature since most people link directly to a blog post and not to the homepage.

As for the rest of the theme, its all pretty standard affair. Three 125px ad spots, some snazzy JavaScript tabbing effects here and there, and all of the standard WordPress sidebar widgets.

And it’s all completely free. So take it for a test run or go ahead and download it.
