    Nice, but a very small list? And author of the month, never heard of that on the forum/blog…..

      Author

      Heya Mark – Thanks for the comment. This is a curated list from Mark and myself, so we’ll be selecting different files and authors each month to help promote a variety of content (from both veterans and newbies). The Reader’s Choice was based on the forums, which we’ll try to do each month to get the community involved in these things. The “Author of the Month” and the Featured Files are all selected by Mark as I understand it, but I’m not sure if the monthly author is showcased anywhere but here right now.

      Regarding length, I actually felt like the list was a bit long, but we’ll play around with the numbers as we continue this series each month. Perhaps it’ll be worth it to showcase the top 5 WP themes and then another 5 files from the other categories. Feel free to let us know what you’d like though and we’ll do our best to make this appealing to readers and authors alike.

    Does it violate the terms to make the Robust template into a WordPress site?

      Only if you try to sell it or re-distribute it I suppose – contact the ThemeForest support crew for any specific questions though :)
