Kriesi, one of the top authors on Themeforest has released his first eCommerce theme called Abundance. Quite experimental but the sales figures are looking good so far. Thinking of giving it a spin very soon.

Fine Tuning Your WordPress Themes with Theme.fm
Hey there, long time no read eh? Well the reason to that is that I’ve been extremely busy with an exciting project, and today I’m glad to announce it, although it’s been launched last week. Theme.fm is a blog, journal, magazine (call it whatever you like) about fine tuning your WordPress themes. And what does that mean? Well, themes for WordPress are certainly not new, but they...
Themes Weekly: Blogitty — A Magazine & Blog Theme
I loved Blogitty the first second I saw it and @cosmothemes have clearly done a good job at this one — clean and easy to understand layout, awesome built-in widgets, social tools and of course things you’ll normally find in a good premium theme: custom shortcodes, typography, layout changes, colors and styles, page templates and a pseudo-portfolio page done with the standard WordPress...
Themes Weekly: Continuum for WordPress
Released only a few weeks ago, the Continuum Magazine Theme is doing quite well on Themeforest with two updates already published which means a lot in terms of support. The theme is optimized for WordPress 3.0+ and claims to be working out of the box, although still over 150 options to play around with for customization-crazy people ;) Suitable for magazines and blogs, gaming and music websites...

WordPress Experiments: Visual Styles Editor
In a previous blog post I demonstrated a video of the color wheel concept. Today I’d like to show you another WordPress themes experiment — visual styles editor. As shown in the video, the styles editor pops out as a dialog box which you can move around the page. The dialog itself contains a select box where you get to pick a certain style (like headings, menu anchors, etc) and the...
WordPress Experiments: Colors & The Color Wheel
I’ve been working on a free theme called Minimal Georgia lately and based on it, I’m now running a few experiments for theme customization, of course inspired by Squarespace. One of my first experiments is the color wheel and there are plenty of jQuery plugins and code snippets that could do that. With a few more research about colors and their hex codes, I found a way to determine a...
Minimal Georgia Gets an Update: Post Formats & More
Minimal Georgia for WordPress was introduced a couple of weeks ago, and today there’s over 2000 downloads! I know this doesn’t mean that all 2000 are using the theme, but they at least had a look, which is okay for my first ever WordPress theme ;) The new (1.4.1) version has got some major updates and improvements. The most exciting are definitely post formats (audio, video, gallery...
