I have tried this recently, I made a theme and put it about a bit but I am not getting many returns – is the day of the wp theme dead or was my theme just poor?

Awesome, I like the fact that you showed the original image, then showed how it was “sliced”. Can you do this with Image Ready as well? (I think you can slice…)

I have some great pics from the mountains that could make good themes…it’s the rest of the coding I’ll have to deal with.

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone.

Adnan you’re right. There is the risk of overdoing your link building. Definitely something to keep in mind when employing this method.

If you guys have any questions about getting some code done or anything, you can reach me at my contacts listed on their page.

Martin that is a great point about many themes going out for distribution with errors. I have always had to edit any that I download. I like to modify them anyways… being unique is key.

I’ve always wanted to build my own theme but was too lazy and unsure of how I would go about it. This article is giving me more incentive to take the plunge. Great post.

Very in-depth article about wordpress template monetization. It’s something I might consider trying in the near future.

Very good article. I was actually thinking of creating a few themes, when I find some time. When I was looking for themes for my blogs, I had the toughest time because all the themes I liked had major flaws with them.

I had an idea of taking existing free themes, making them valid XHTML and CSS, and either re-distributing them or sending them back to the author with my link attached. I think I will just design my own though.
