Free Customizable Wordpress Law Theme

After trying out several law blog templates, I have found a favorite.  The free Graphene template has every WordPress feature imaginable.  This template is easy to customize for a law theme.  you can download it directly from WordPress here.  The Graphene 1.3 template was created by Syahir Hakim.

Once you download the template and upload the file to your wp-content>themes folder on your web site, you can login to WordPress and select appearance>themes to activate.  To customize the header so something more applicable to law, login to your blog and select appearance>themes>header in the left hand navigation menu to view the options. 

I like to change the header to the white background so you can customize the header and re-upload.  To view the original header images, just navigate to your original download file under grahene>images>headers and select fluid.jpg for the white background.  Once you download the header, you can update and then go back to appearance>themes>header to upload the new version.

Including a live example below:

The description includes: "The Graphene theme for WordPress is a stylish, neat, and tight WordPress theme supporting configurable columns layout options and 4 widget areas, with the ability to determine the number of columns to display in the footer widget area."

black, blue, white, one-column, two-columns, three-columns, right-sidebar, left-sidebar, fixed-width, custom-colors, custom-header, custom-background, custom-menu, editor-style, theme-options, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, rtl-language-support.
