<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [theme-reviewers] How much do
you charge to list a them underfeatured section?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<P>On what basis are the featured themes selected? Don't tell me they are
selected for their uniqueness. Tell me how much should I spend to get a theme
listed in that section?<BR></P>
<P>Almost 10 <SPAN class=il>themes</SPAN> listed under featured section have
been there for the last six months (That's since have been closely observing
the Wordpress theme directory, so it may be longer than that). <SPAN
class=il>Themes</SPAN> like Atahualpa, constructor,Mystique are out of the box
and deserve to be there but rest of the <SPAN class=il>themes</SPAN> listed
under featured section aren't so special to be listed there for years. I think
pixel,light world, piano black,Retromania have been there for almost 2
years.</P>
<P>How different is Motion theme from Pixel? Whats the point in listing two
almost identical themes from the same author in featured section?</P>
<P>Whats so amazing about Piano Black?</P>
<P>Monochrome and Piano black are from the same author, is he a friend of
your?</P>
<P>Same with pixel and motion.</P>
<P>If Piano black is such a great theme, how many people are using it?<BR></P>
<P></P>
<P>Listing 2 <SPAN class=il>themes</SPAN> from the same author listed under
featured section,isn't fair. I think you should have proper guidelines for
listing a theme under featured section. Every developer should be given equal
exposure. We spend lot of time in developing these <SPAN
class=il>themes</SPAN>. It's our choice and we enjoy developing these <SPAN
class=il>themes</SPAN> but, it's demoralizing when our theme which is better
than other <SPAN class=il>themes</SPAN> doesn't get the enough exposure just
because the person reviewing the theme doesn't like it, or doesn't have the
time to dig into see what the theme has to offer.</P>
<P>Most of the <SPAN class=il>themes</SPAN> listed under <SPAN
class=il>popular</SPAN> <SPAN class=il>themes</SPAN> section are <SPAN
class=il>popular</SPAN> only because they are listed under featured <SPAN
class=il>themes</SPAN>, please do something about.</P>
<P>I hope you will do something about the issue.</P>
<P>Kind Regards<BR><FONT color=#888888>Satish Gandham</FONT></P>
