Description & Features:
The Original Premium News Theme, designed by WooThemes and Adii, was once a premium theme but is now available for free download.

- The layout supports all three of the most popular web ad sizes, including 468×60, 300×250, and 125×125.
- Animated horizontal drop-down menus for category navigation.
- Multiple color schemes available – Default, Dark Blue, Green, Light Blue, Pink, Purple, and Red.
- Integrated Theme Options for WordPress to tweak the layout, color scheme, etc. for the theme.
