We have finally submitted our Mantra Theme (v.1.0.1) to the WordPress Theme directory for review. Although we have a lot more experience now than when we submitted the Zombie Apocalypse Theme, we still expect a few things to go wrong. The Theme Review process alone usually takes around 2 weeks, and if the theme is not up to date with all the latest WordPress standards (and it probably isn’t because of all the custom options) that could take another 2 weeks.
So until then, we’ll start working on v1.5 beta where we’ll be implementing a custom CSS, colour schemes, editable full-site width, 3 columns, custom ads, excerpt options and some form of tabbed admin section with better graphics.
Out of the bazillion themes available on WordPress, Mantra is my absolute favorite. I am an above average computer user, but yet, I have managed to stay away from CSS/website creation until now. I needed something to make a site look like I knew what I was doing 🙂 Sure, I can’t maximize the custom CSS abilities and utilize the full possibilities of editing, but I think Mantra created a professional, clean, polished image for my website, despite my shortcomings. Thank you!!!
