I found a guy who is serious of promoting my themes. Simon, the owner of Pingable.org not only listed all my themes on his site, but he also linked the post with my themes from every page of his site.
The way he strategically link the Best Wordpress Themes post in the header nav and promote the post in other blogs show that he knows about the fine art of SEO. I can’t wait to see the post rank high on Google!
Pingable.org has rich and varied information and useful references of SEO, Web design and Blogging tips. The main purpose of Pingable.org is to share with its readers unique and relevant content that can be used by bloggers and to promote discussion on a wide variety of interesting topics affecting bloggers.
WordPress has achieved phenomenal success as a blogging engine. This is mainly due to the sustained efforts of sites like Pingable.com that have dedicated their energy and resources in delivering all relevant information and references to the blogging community. This site also helps in the development of themes and plugins through their regular write-up about them.
A sexy diva geek is featuring some of my themes on her site 
Being one of the few female techies, she is a freelance web designer currently works for an email archiving and web hosting provider. Her site, Divageekdesigns.com, is powered by Wordpress and you can find some useful Wordpress resources so I think my themes fit well in the site.
Divageekdesigns is a site where you can find free design resources for bloggers including free social networking icon sets, iPod themes, Wordpress plugins and tutorials and Free Wordpress Themes.
This week marks another milestone for Templatelite. My work has been recognized by one of my most favorite sites, SmashingApps.com!
It is a real honor to be selected as the first theme partner to release and distribute my latest theme, Grunge Style on the site.
This is another super site that I constantly follow up with. For a savvy designer and developer, I can find tons of useful information on that site that helps a lot in my theme development.
The stats below show you how big the site is:
* Feed Subscribers: 1 million+
* Monthly Visitors: 1 million+
* No. of Posts: 500+
Thanks SmashingApps for featuring my theme. I am sure the partnership will be a fruitful one for both of us!
I am constantly seeking good partners and open to ideas and discussion to arrive at something that is beneficial to both parties. If you own a good site and would like to partner with me in some form, please contact me and we’ll talk.
In my previous post, I listed 100+ theme directories and forums that I submit my new themes to. Out of all the sites, I particularly like Themes Preview because this is the only site that provide comprehensive review of Wordpress themes.
In this post, I’d like to give a review of this site because it is so special that set them apart from any other Wordpress theme directories. I also give a brief review of another theme review site, Wpthemereview.com.
By far, ThemesPreview.com and Wpthemereview.com are the only two sites that provide review and rating of Wordpress themes. There is another yet-to-launch site, Wpthemecritic.com that will be reviewing Wordpress themes.
Let’s spend a little time talking about Wpthemereview.com before I review ThemesPreview.com in details.
When you visit Wpthemereview.com, you’ll see a “SEO score” being assigned to each theme. 
Click on any theme and you’ll see SEO score note below the screenshot of the theme. There are two categories:
1) We like this theme because it…
2) This theme could be improved, though…
As you can see, this site reviews mainly the SEO part of a theme. Nothing much has been told about the coding structure and compatibility issues.
Another problem with this site is the scoring method. There is no specific information as to how the SEO score came about. I even found two Wordpress themes having the same SEO score note but having different SEO score.
On the contrary, I am amazed at how ThemesPreview reviews a theme. The author has outlined the review criteria and grouped them in two sections: must-have criteria and optional criteria.

The good news is now finally out! Wordpress 2.8, with code name “Baker,” is now available. Once you log on to your Wordpress you will be receiving a notice on the availability for download of this latest Wordpress version.
The most significant feature of the Wordpress 2.8-Baker is its capability to browse for themes from the Dashboard of Wordpress. This means that you are able to specify your color choice, the number of columns that you require and choose between flexible or fixed width, among others.
Wordpress 2.8 comes with a new widgets interface design with enhanced speed. Another great thing about this new version is that it offers solutions for over 790 bugs of the older version.
The other notable features of Wordpress 2.8 include:
* Improved widgets API and widgets admin interface
* Plug in and theme editors with function lookup and syntax highlight function
* Improved loading speed of admin pages through compression and concatenation of script
If you had problems with widgets with the older version, this latest release may well be the solution to your problems. This latest release comes with an enhanced widget interface design which is not available in the 2.7 version. This feature provides multi-functionalities like widgets on the fly editing, multiple copies of widgets, and a lot more.
This latest version of Wordpress is equipped with an enhanced CodePress Editor which will come in handy when you are making tweaks and edits to plugins and themes from your Dashboard. It also comes with contextual documentation capability which is an essential element for the functions in the file that is being edited.
With that said, will my free themes work on this latest version? I made it clear that my free themes will be compatible with the latest Wordpress version so I am taking the time to test my themes on Wordpress 2.8 at the moment. I will announce in Twitter and the theme pages whenever a new theme version that works on WP 2.8 is released.
