Word Press Templates

I have finally completed my website www.manikantkujur.com
I was planning my website for the past 3 years and done lot of thinking about it. I tried Joomla and installed several dozen times on my server to experiment with. Then I have then tried wordpress several dozen times on my server and after looking for hundreds of themes I find this one on www.themeforest.net.

The theme comes with 4 sections - but I have added 2 more sections 'tutorials' and 'documentaries'.
I like the theme because it has a brownish color look just like the color of wooden frames used for framing the paintings. The theme has images which are related with Art Galleries -  red rope barrier in front of the painting, art bench image in the gallery section as benches have their own importance in art galleries, Art Stands in profile section to show various technologies or medium of art. I have later added 'documentaries' and 'tutorials' sections on my website.
The website is in word press. My website is a actually a Javascript, CSS & PHP based website. The sliding animation & gallery display is through JavaScript.

What Steve Jobs have done with "iphone" and "apple application store" - www.themeforest.net is doing the same thing with "internet" and "web development". They are providing templates with very low cost and selling everything which helps you to develop a website. Themeforest.net have a network of more than 2 dozens of websites connected with each other making a huge network of Market for web developers and computer graphics. It is growing very rapidly. They even provide long term support with full documentation for their templates. Through wordpress is used for blogging but they are using word press to create website and this is next level of wordpress, that wordpress websites are very much competitive to the Flash based websites. I find wordpress websites more easy to maintain than Joomla website.
