Today I submitted version 1.1 of Museum Core to the WordPress theme repository for review.

If you’re reading this today (August 4, 2010), there’s still time to get $10 of the purchase price with the coupon code ‘exlibris’ (no quotes).

Gee, there’s a thought…
One of the things that’s frustrated me about a lot of premium WordPress themes I’ve had experience with is that they leave the user hanging. You see the demo and it looks awesome. Configurable category displays, a featured content gallery, room for adsense, customizable navigation, even a video embed in the sidebar. Maybe you even… (read more)
Simple Gray
Simple Gray is a minimalist WordPress theme we did a couple years ago. Having not touched it once in over a year, with the launch of Museum Themes, we figured it was time to revisit it. We’ll be revamping all our old free themes and officially releasing some of the ones we never got around… (read more)
