My premium Posterous theme store is now live!

It's official. I've been working hard to put together my Posterous theme store where I can sell and distribute premium Posterous themes, and now it's finally ready.

Say hello to my new Posterous theme store!

This store will be where I post my new themes, both premium and free, as well as where my advanced theme editor will reside when I launch it too.

Right now I've got three premium themes available for sale. And they're on sale this week, so if any of them look like something you might like to use, now would be the time to buy!

New theme: Delphos

My latest premium Posterous theme, Delphos, is now available. It has some nifty features that help keep a clean layout while still providing easy access to all the functionality that Posterous offers. Here's what it looks like:

Delphos

I personally love having the Tweet and Like buttons easily accessible, but tend to think they're a bit of an eyesore, so I went ahead and created a Sharing panel.

Tweet

Along the bottom is a bar that handles the subscription, profile, links, search, tags, and archive blocks, all accessible with a rollover of the mouse.

I think Delphos is a great way to keep all the functionality of Posterous on your site without the clutter. You can purchase Delphos from my Posterous theme store here.

Introducing my first premium Posterous theme: Darkroom

Darkroom-thumb

I've been creating Posterous themes for close to two years now. I began by wanting to theme my own site. Then I started creating a handful of free themes. Last year, I released around 20 themes through the Posterous theme gallery, and a few more have been released so far this year.

Today I'm excited to announce my first premium theme for photographers on the Posterous platform called Darkroom. And you've never seen a Posterous theme like this before.

In fact, two photographers have been using Darkroom for the past few months.

Aviraj Saluja is a photographer in Mumbai, India and a long-time Posterous user and advocate. He uses Darkroom to showcase pictures he takes at concerts, weddings and the sights and scenes in India. Check out his photography here.

Robert-Paul Jansen is a photographer in The Netherlands. I'm a big fan of his work. He used to use a customized version of the free "Mag" theme but has since upgraded to showcase his photography with Darkroom. Check out his photography here.

Below is a before/after of Robert-Paul's blog, the left with the Mag theme and the right after upgrading to Darkroom.

Tabby 2 (fully customizable!)

Tabby is one of the more popular themes downloaded from Posterize.us because of the great way it helps to organize content into tabs. I get many requests to create a version of this theme with a white background, so I've gone one step further. Introducing Tabby 2!

Tabby 2 is a new and improved, fully customizable version of the original Tabby theme. You can now edit text, background and header background(among others), and even drop in your own header image if you don't like the soft light background that comes standard with the theme, all without editing any html!

You can download the theme file for free if you're a registered member of Posterize.us.

New theme: Austero (with background image support!)

Austero is a clean theme that has support for a background image via the Header Image property. For example, if you want to have a repeatable background image (like a pattern), just upload it as the Header Image and the theme will automatically tile it and use it as your background.

You can download the theme file for free if you're a registered member of Posterize.us.

New theme: Tabby - uses tags as navigation!

One of the current limitations of Posterous is that there is no support for additional pages like an About page. Tabby sets out to fix that. Tabby is a unique theme that uses Posterous Tags as site navigation (similar to what you see here at themes.posterous.com). For example, the tabs you see across the top of the theme are tags. This way, you can essentially create different pages for your site by using tags. This theme isn't for everybody, but for those who want to create additional pages, this might be what you're looking for.

You can download the theme file for free if you're a registered member of Posterize.us.
