I started out using WordPress MU with 15 sites all using the same theme. One of the sites can be found here.
AutoLoan101.com
It is a very nice, clean theme. My major problem with it was that it didn’t use the home page space well. I like themes that when you go to their home page, all the info you need can be found on the first screen without the need to scroll down. So there began my hunt for WordPress themes that have the best use of space.
The first one I found was the theme that this site, OnlineInternship was built on. Check out the home page. Look how much info I can give you at once without the need for scrolling. This theme has 4 columns (3 columns of blogs and 1 column of widgets). You can even adjust that to have 2 columns of blogs and 1 column of widgets. It is available here News Print 2.1.1. This is a free version. There is also a paid version.
My new favorite theme is Tau.
I am using it on an intranet site, so I can’t show you what I have done with it, but it has half the screen used for blogs and half for widgets. I love being able to fill the home screen up with widgets of all kinds. There is 4 separate sidebars put aside for widgets so they are not all in a straight line. Check out the Tau Demo.
A WordPress theme can make or break a site so make sure you find one you like, but one that is also user friendly.
My question to you. What is your favorite WordPress theme? Please post it in the comments!

I came across this one called the Morning After that I really like:

Amazing Grace theme by Vladimir Prelovac. I have used a few different themes for another website and this is my favorite thus far. It is sleek looking and customizable so instead of stock photos I will eventually be displaying our own photography.
