WP Themes Competition

I finally emailed my 2 entries to the WPThemes competition over at Alex King. I feel a bit frustrated that Sadish and I were unable to get other themes ready. We had, as I said in a previus post, 8 themes altogether, but we will still make them all available at wpthemes.info in the near future.

The themes I ended up sending were Fleur-de-Lys, which is the theme I currently use in this blog (which actually has 3 different color schemes, but I sent just one of them) and another one called Connections – and boy, I had such a hard time picking a name for this one! I showed this theme to many people and was surprised to see how many different interpratations each one came up with. Take a look at this screenshot and tell me what you think the top image means. Every single person who saw it gave me a different interpratation. How odd!!! This is why it was so hard to name it, because apparently it means different things to different people. So I decided on a more generic name that, itself, can be interpreted in a number of ways. But just out of curiosity, I would like to know what other people think it means, so please, please leave a comment with your input.

I’d also like to mention that:

1. There was a huge number of entries in this edition of the competition.This is definitely a wonderful contribution to the WP community.
2. There are many many good designs. I think it’s such a bliss to see how many talented people contributed with their work. It will be tough to pick a winner this time. Perhaps in the future, should there be other contests, it might help to pick winners in different categories, maybe by design style, I don’t know. Last time I checked there were 105 themes and that didn’t include the themes that would be sent today. I think this is huge!!!

Good luck to all of you who participated, but I have a feeling that the big winner here is the WordPress community.
