suggestion: example of themes in use
-
If the feature is not there already here somewhere I think it would be useful to not only have the ability to preview a theme but a pointer to a couple of blogs that use that theme well. In my experience it takes a little while after implementing a theme to really get a sense of how it works.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Below is a list of what we can do at present. I’m offering it in case you are solution orientated and wish to proceed while waiting for Staff to consider your idea.
1. We can get a preview of every theme here > Appearance > Themes and see how any theme will appear on our blogs before we click “Activate”.
2. We can also set up an additional free hosted wordpress.com blog, set it up as a mirror blog and use it to test themes and widgets, etc. See here for instructions > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/05/19/how-to-select-a-wordpress-com-theme-part-1/
3. We can search the theme forum to locate blogs using themes we may be considering using on our own blogs.
Example: Bueno site:https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/themes
http://tinyurl.com/2uufrs84. We can search the CSS forum to locate blogs using themes we may be considering CSS editing as well.
Example: Enterprise site:https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization
http://tinyurl.com/23ym3kpWe can use Google search to locate blogs that are using themes we are considering.
Example: Inuit Types site:en.forums.wordpress.com
