Jason Schuller, who I previously interviewed about ThemeGarden, has just opened it to the public.

So far, ThemeGarden only has a few themes for sale and are currently accepting author applications so hopefully we’ll see some new themes for sale soon. If you’re a theme author, take note of their requirements on the previous link.

• Sellers get 100% of theme sale revenue after paying a monthly fee ($25 for up to 5 themes, $50 for unlimited).
• First three months are completely free for sellers.
• Themes must be 100% GPL licensed (including artwork and CSS).
