After 3 month of work, I believe that we are ready to officially launch this project! Yeah! My Tapestry is one of my personal project I do just for fun but this one is a little bit special. All is written in English and that’s a big goal for me. I don’t want to lie, my English is bad basic but it’s easier to share with the whole world in English rather than French. So don’t hesitate to tell me if I say something… odd.
I thought about My Tapestry after releasing my first WordPress plugin: I Like This. This one have been well appreciated and it motivated me to go further. I also wanted to enter the community of WordPress themes distributors although there’s a lot of them already available.
At this time, only two themes are free to download: Smooth & Vermillon. Each one has his proper specifications but both are W3C compliant, translation- & widget-ready. These templates are simple but powerfull and easy to customize. For example, a friend of mine did a good job with Smooth as a base, you can see it on his blog: Maxime Leroy.
I don’t really know how this website will evolve in the next months. I would develop a little framework to built-in with themes and why not another plugin. Of course I’ll release more themes but it depends on my schedule. So if you have any expectation for functionnalities or something else, don’t hesitate.

Nice job ! I really enjoy your webdesign style :) Therefore, I was wondering if you already thought about opening a tutorial category in order to teach some of the things you learned. Either in text or screencast. It would be really nice to see that kind of content on My Tapestry ;)

@vluyet Thank you!
@Maxime Thank you too. I’ve never thought about that but it could be a good idea. What kind of tutorial do you want exactly?

@LeBen : About things a lot of webdesigner beginners would be interested into. It could be like : how to design a web template in Photoshop, how to integrate it, how to create a WordPress theme, how to do an email campaign etc …
Saying this I just realise everything wouldn’t fit on this website but it can be an idea for your personal blog. At least I would be interested in this kind of content :)

Hi there, I’ve looked around and I must say that I quite like your themes, they are nicely designed. Have you submitted them to the WordPress Theme Directory?

@Maxime Well, as you said it doesn’t match the topics covered here but be sure I’ll think about it for my personal blog.
@Hafiz Rahman Thank you! I’ve just submitted them, I hope they will be available soon.

Truly wonderful!
I’ll be using your “I Like This” plugin on an upcoming project, and am taking careful notes on the beautiful & readable comment styling here on your site. I look forward to reading your Tapestry as you write it!
