Our friends over at Unique Blog Designs have just announced a premium wordpress theme called UBD Moneymaker, and its free!

That’s right, 100% free.

The UBD Moneymaker Wordpress Theme is not just any ordinary theme - it has special functionality that you tend to only see in premium Wordpress themes.

For example, the UBD Block Ad Plugin is built-in - you do not need to install it separately. This is also true for the social bookmarking functionality and several other sidebar plugins.

Not comfortable editing your theme’s source code? Fear not! The theme also features a built in “Theme Options” panel which allows you to integrate Feedburner, MyBlogLog Recent Readers, and the 468×60 in post banner ad. You can edit all of this stuff without ever touching a single line of code! How is that for ease of use?

A Theme Options panel makes theme enhancement much easier for people not comfortable editing source code. We are happy to announce that all future UBD Designs and Wordpress Themes will feature the Theme Options panel for maximum ease of use.

UBD Moneymaker Theme Features & Benefits

• Fully Widget Compatible (drag and drop your preferred selection of sidebar elements)
• Built-in UBD Block Ad Plugin (manage and automatically rotate your 125×125 banner ads)
• Additional ad management for the in-post 468×60 advertising banner

Theme Options panel allows you to integrate Feedburner and MyBlogLog recent readers code - all without touching a single line of source code.

• Built-in social bookmarking functionality
• Search Engine Optimized and cross-browser compatible
• Wordpress 2.5.1 compatible
• Free to use on as many sites as you would like!

Usage Agreement: This theme is free to download and use on as many sites as you would like. That being said, UBD would appreciate if you left their credits in the footer.

Ok so your sitting there asking yourself - how does it work?

After all the configuring has been done, select your site’s blogging platform, and follow the instructions - simple!.

If you’re a Wordpress blogger, there’s a simple widget plugin available that can be migrated into your sitebar section.
