Download available here. The ZadaNews theme can be seen in operation at ZadaNews.com.

I installed it in a sandbox (quick: can we use “sandbox” as a verb, as in “we sandboxed it within an inch of its life”?) and found looked impressive immediately, and the backend2  (i.e. the admin panels and controls made sense). made sense and worked worked fine.

Download available here. The author(s) of the theme, and the proprietors of the ZadaNews site, don’t say much about themselves.

  1. The General

    Public License, is, according to Wikipedia, “an example of a powerful copyleft license that requires derived works to be available under the same copyleft. Under this philosophy, the GPL grants the recipients of a computer program the rights of the free software definition and uses copyleft to ensure the freedoms are preserved, even when the work is changed or added to. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD licenses are the standard examples.” The GPL is the creation of the Free Software Foundation []
