Getagrip, I just tried to go to the old themes library and got a message saying ‘this blog has been suspended due to violation of terms of use’ or something.
I tell you what, choosing a wordpress theme is THE single hardest part of starting a wordpress project. Now its got even harder. If you go to the new themes gallery (the one you mention) you’ll notice that there isn’t ANYWHERE on the page a way to list all the themes.
A designer like me wants to explore visually not by tags or searching for something I don’t know exists yet. Doh!
Because all this is open source with nobody ‘owning’ it, the result is zero ‘usability’ because nobody seems to be standing back and saying “Hmmm does this make the process of selecting a theme any easier??”.
What that leads to is a million Adsense-packed blogs ‘showcasing’ the same themes…
Its seriously enough to make some start designing their own themes from scratch ??
Same with the plugins, btw. Go there and see if you can get an overview (list?????) of what plugins are available.
