It's not bad at all, but I do my learning about Drupal here on drupal.org for most part.

When I need to go outside of drupal I use google to search and if that site is the one that has the information I'm looking for, I'll be sure to visit.

Also note: themegarden.org has had this concept nailed down for awhile. That said, if i want to look at a theme I go there instinctivly

Well thank You for the comment. Yes this is Thru and surely I go here to Drupal.org as well. My intent and goal is to offer a testing environment right online. The Site does really not have all tools disponible and of course my experience grow from day to day but you understand that without support from many you get anywhere.
I know experienced Drupalers go straight to themegarden.org,

  • but do you have someone there that helps online Newcomer?
  • Or someone who help without asking any cent to try to get thing working in Theme customising?
  • Do you have There (themegarden.com) someone who speaks Italian and German?

    • Well I'm doing my best to grow with the Drupal Community and do work hard for Newcomer and hopefully some
    Proof will donate some few words or minutes for making thinks better on Drupal Themes development

    Cheers

    Sorry ---- There are 44 beg your pardon. But the server is really slow!
    I'm really not entitled to criticize but a Screen shot Gallery like I have on http://www.e-kontakt.at/themes/image/tid/34
    could save time just to see an overall of Themes Layout ;-)

    I don't see the point. I poked around for a few minutes but I don't get what it's for. FAQs about themes? If I want to know who wrote a theme, I'll just look at the project page. If you want to get people to stick around, you need to be able to get your point across in seconds. Most people won't give you minutes.

    ... Thanks ... yes indeed I'm working on that ...
    I my self get some bored on it at the moment :-)

    It's my first project to make something useful for all.

    The Target is to give User the possibility to upload Pictures of any little bugs they may encounter when they handle with Themes so to get a central Image Collection and find out very fast how to manage they little css issues.

    P.S. Still waiting for View Module to get release for D6.x and some other to make any work as fast and efficient as possible. Any more suggestion?

    That's what the themes' issue queues are for. Sorry, still not getting it. I can see the point of themegarden because it actually demos all the themes. But for discussion of the themes and reporting problems, people should be using the issue queue, not some third party site that may or may not be known to the maintainers.

    Out that all of you do a great Job in helping Newcomer like me and others (and there are surely 1000s, out there)
    I just think that there is always the possibility to build Newcomer Groups that might gain progress looking at pictures at the beginning. Like Children, like I'm one (47 years) that can approach Drupal Themes on a very basecally stage. And out there on Internet there is plenty of space to start something like I want to do. With the Time I surely will be more competent but at That Time You will be sure at a higher stage of Knowledge again. So I try to meet hopefully that group of Drupaler that really Love Themes and want to get fascinating to try someone for themself.

    Thank You for your Comment.

    You're welcome to create whatever site you want. You asked why it wasn't visited and I pointed out what I see as problems with it. If this post was just meant to get attention and not a serious question, then I apologize.

    Thank You Michelle, I apologize too. It's not easy for me (non English native speaker) to find the right words to get some attention for my Project in the right way. I appreciate very much the help I get here and the possibilities that as Member of the Drupal.org Community and Portal have to make something useful. Though my very base knowledge of Drupal and in Theme developing I will do my best to increase my Knowhow from any suggestion, critics, notice i get from all of You.

    By the title, it sounds like an interesting resource, but the site appears to be down right now.

    Hi flickerfly

    About the Site: After an upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2 I casused a crash and I could not be able to restore the Site.
    I have started again and 15% of the materials is on line.

    The Site is supposed to have 4 Sections:

    1. The Screenshots Section with all Drupal Themes (4.x - 5.x - 6.x ) ordered in separated Gallery for each.
    2. The Live Demo for Drupal 4.x Implemented
    3. The Live Demo for Drupal 5.x Implemented
    4. The Live Demo for Drupal 6.x In Construction

    I will also contribute to the Community with a new THEME for Drupal 6.x Project-name: Day & Night based on Amadeu THEME with switching for Day and Night css. The Site use the Night layout, you may see HERE a Demo.

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Working hard to get everything running as soon as possible!!
    Thanks for your comment!
    Cheers

    I'm new around these parts and to get someone line me attracted to your site then you have to offer me something that is not available elsewhere. Not really big on reading long documents online myself and plenty of CSS based layout sites out there to get ideas from. So you need to offer something that is not available here. Maybe your own tips and tricks, small coding snippets to get whizbang features working in Drupal, integrating new and interesting javascript widgets... Anything different.

    Now if I could get the drupal manual printed in a softshell book from a professional publisher like O'Reilly, Sitepoint or Packt, then I would be happy.

    ... Wayne_Luke,

    I see, of course there are a lot of Sites around who offer Showcase for most of the Drupal Themes. Mine is just
    the first run for getting a place that Document as exactly and correctly as possible all Themes that from the beginning
    where provided on Drupal.org. At the same time I make out my experience on each Theme caracteristics and of course I will contribute with my own collected experience. As soon as I have post all the Matrerials online and in a way that
    will be most confortable for anyone, I'm sure that a lot of Drupal Funs, newcomer, and even Professionals will start to
    use the Site. Consider that even if I am about two years member on Drupal for my IT job I had no time to go
    very deep in Drupal. Now I decided that i want to have a precise schedule for every Day to learn Drupal.

    Ok Thanks for your suggestions.

    Cheers
