If you’ve recently upgraded your WordPress installation to version 3.0, you’ll be glad to know that VintMint uses some of the best new features—most notably, the convenient menu system that debuted as a core feature in 3.0.

There are also some very nice features that set this theme apart from other modern themes—things like the very nice ph0to-based content slider on the homepage, and a number of extra templates, including a “no-sidebars” template (so you can have some pages with sidebars and some without) and templates that are perfect for links/bookmarks and your sitemap.

If you’re looking to make a little money from your blog, you’ll also appreciate that this theme supports a variety of ads (and ad sizes) right out of the box. As you can see from the demo, there are four 125×125 ads (very popular among bloggers right now) in a great location on the front page (obvious enough that your advertisers will be well-treated, but not so intrusive that they’ll annoy your readers). There are also spots for 250×250, 336×280, and 468×60 ads.

Thanks to its comfortable, well-worn feel, this theme would be ideal for a travel journal or summer vacation retrospective. Now all you have to do is get out there and do something worthy of it!
