Really aswesome, I think I am going to get on that. I am sitting here at #wordcamplv and talked to Shanye about putting a theme together last night, he didn’t tell me you guys were doing this.
:)
Cool :)
It completely slipped my mind!!
Dan,
See my email. I’ll contribute and all I ask is that the themes be search engine optimized. Anyone with questions about what that would mean can email me.
Does this mean you will offer themes here soon? For free or to buy?
This is great – we need more out there!
im looking forward to get the result of this competition.. :D
for ideas:
create beautiful and elegant theme for ecommerce.
just like joomla based ecommerce site.
eg: joomlart zeolite.
cheers!
I used wp e-commerce for 2 months and I think it’s good but lack of theme. Very useful for small business.. hope there is another theme. And how much usually people sell for a wp e-commerce theme?
where can we get a list of the entrants? I’m looking for wp e-commerce specific themes that will allow me to use my own wp specific theme. Most of what I’ve seen so far take over the entire site, and I don’t think that is what specifically takes advantage of wp e-commerce offering their own theme support….help me with a list of resources of contestant entrants or a listing of people creating wp e-commerce themes. there is nothing in themeforest except for a theme package that applies to the overall site.
