Well, we do have some lists like this on different blogs but we felt that we should aslo make our opinion count in this crowd. WordPress is definitely the best CMS when you want to set up a blog without learning some computer language. WordPress is easy to set up and that’s why millions of blogs use WordPress.
The web is full of free WordPress themes and it is really a challenge if you want to sell a premium theme. No matter how much it is challenging or may be easy, there are some great WordPress themes which make your blog stand out. It must be noted that not all themes which look Premium are really so while going by your needs and expectations on the blog should be critical when you want to buy a WordPresss theme.
We really felt the need to have our own say when it comes to Premium WordPress themes and below is what we found for you.

Many video bloggers have voiced that there are hardly any good WordPress themes for vlogs. It is definitely one area where developers have not paid much attention while the demand for video blog themes is not great either. It could be the result of this mismatch of demand and supply that there are hardly any WordPress theme for vloggers.
We tried to find some WordPress themes for vloggers, we knew all along that there are very few of them but we had no idea that some of them are just brilliant. There were hardly any free themes for video bloggers though but if you can say “I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.” then you might get a free theme for your vlog as well. More on that later, let’s find out some themes which you can install on your vlog right now.
Video
Video is a dark WordPress Theme for WordPress created by the team over at Quommunication. It has some really cool features which you might not have seen in any other blog . It has an AJAX customizable episode list for the videos which will definitely save some time for the users while it enhances the user experience as well. The layout is neat and clean and it is fully W3C standards compliant. The best thing about this theme is the live preview of comments which was made possible with AJAX Commenting System. Users can post comments even when the video is on.

It is a widget and gravatar ready two column fixed width theme which is compatible with WordPress v2.5 and above.
