Webmasters Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for pro webmasters. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I'm looking for a wordpress theme that I can work from. I'm basically creating a website like the following two http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/ and http://icanhas.cheezburger.com/ - both are wordpress based websites which I guess are custom made themes. I'm looking for a theme that will let users enter content without beign logged in. Basically the post type has a title and a description and the name of the author. The homepage will show one post with a "Next" button. Clicking that will load the next post.

The user content input just needs a title, description, and a name of the author.

I'd also like to add voting up/down.

I'm just asking first before I start hacking away at a theme.

Well any template can be customized to look and function like those sites. What you'd probably want to do is create a custom form that posts a (post) as a draft so you can moderate them. Have whatever fields you want. There are plenty of up / down voting plugins, I would use any that stores the data as custom meta information so you can then sort posts by most liked.

The plugins you could use are http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/
