  Is there any way we could get a Political/Patriotic type of a theme?

  no way as such, but you can try searching it on your own and suggesting it to the wp.com team with a link to the site. i have yet to hear of themes like this, but i think it exists somewhere in the great big internet.

  you could also put the link here for other wordpressers to have a look and hopefully send in a feedback (along with yours); maybe if there’s a demand for it the wp team will consider adding it.

  the two links, they say you have to buy the templates. i’m not sure if wp buys templates, because a lot of themes are available for free. and i don’t see how do the themes look patriotic / political other than the words that say it is so and the header image. i think it can achieve very easily by creating your own header image; you could probably make really good ones too to fit your blog content specifically. just me thinking out loud though.

  Agree on the header image. I would suggest using either Cutline or Pressrow. If you have the CSS upgrade, I would just modify the theme some more. One of those two themes, the black line through them are setup as images. Should be easy to modity those into flag streamers I would think.

  Good idea, mike, and I didn’t check the links to see they were not free templates – I didn’t know people really charged for templates :s But there’s always a decent workaround.

  Oh, heck yes. If you’re a theme designer on any platform, you can make some serious money. The issue though is it’s in php which means you’re also going to get ripped off quite often as well.

  I used to do website designs. I was more picky than my clients. I’ll do one on occasion but I’m not a big fan of divs and CSS. I like tables. :)

  I wish I could afford the custom CSS, and to get a domain too. Oh Well. :(

  I can understand making money doing personalized themes for people surely, but making a theme and just putting it out there? I doubt. There are enough themes to find what you want, you just have to look.
