Theme Review Incentive: August 2013 Winners!

Congratulations to @ZGani, @poena, and @tskk; you three have completed the most new Theme approvals over the past 30 days!

Also, because we had a “short” month (we announced the contest only 16 days ago), if we consider Themes approved during that period alone, @bhadaway would be in the top three. So, we’re going to give him an “honorable mention” and let him select one Featured Theme as well.

Please post your Featured Theme selections in the comments, with a link to the Theme’s WPORG Theme Directory listing. The Themes that will be cycled out are: MogLeafDiscover, and Alexandria.

And, great job on getting Themes approved, everyone! Over the past 30 days (the vast majority of which – 90 – have been in the past 16 days), 117 new Themes have been approved and added to the Theme directory, by a total of 23 reviewers. (If you note from Matt’s State of the WordState of the Word This is the annual report given by Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress at WordCamp US. It looks at what we’ve done, what we’re doing, and the future of WordPress. https://wordpress.tv/tag/state-of-the-word/. address at WCSF, fewer than 350 new Themes were added in the previous year – and we did almost half that many just in the past month alone.)

That’s absolutely phenomenal improvement!

Good luck to all of you over the next month. We’ll announce three new winners in September!

WordPress Featured Themes Updated

The WordPress Theme Review Team was given the privilege of managing the Featured Themes found at WordPress.org a couple of months ago. We have had many and various discussions on the topic although we had not put any of the idea into action. Yesterday, after being reminded we had not “Featured” any themes I simply put thought into action and today you will find a very new, and in the opinion of the WPTRT, an interesting selections of current themes offering various idea and designs to enjoy.

There are no set guidelines that have been established; and, the rumors of bribes being accepted are wholly unsubstantiated … although I really enjoy Ginger Bread cookies ;).
