One more free theme, but with great design that is inspired by the iPhone interface and iPhone Notes application. Supports all current WordPress features including threaded comments, and has many details that make the theme look great: drop down menus with shadows, social media buttons and more.
We all know that WordPress search is a joke, and that needs serious rewrite. But, until that is done, here is one of the best search plugins available that even supports indexing of data from content and excerpts.
Another great find on SmashingMagazine. Excellent simple WordPress portfolio theme with clean design and many great elements. Not many options on the control panel, but overall great theme.
Excellent list of resources for jQuery. Plugins are separated by usage and you can find many useful plugin (I did) for maps, charts, ajax and much more.
