Thanks for the kind words. I’m still learning a lot on web design and Save The Pixel book is really a lot of help.

As for the sliding previews, I used jQuery loopedSlider. I just removed the navigation and set the slider to auto start. I wrote a quick tutorial on using the plugin here http://bit.ly/PQhpZ

I don’t know a lot about Javascript that’s why I’m thankful for jQuery and its plugins. hehehe.

Thanks for stumbling and tweeting. Really appreciate it.

this comment isn’t related to the theme, though it is looking super power.

i found your site from a comment you left on my good friend glen’s site pluginid.

really love your design sensibility. both your landing page with the sliding screenshots and your blog theme.

been heavy in design for ages but taught myself css and html from scratch to design my site.

how did you do the sliding previews? good friend of mine is doing something similar in python (or might be ajax) and keen to see a tutorial on it. i know a lot of javascript but minimal css / html / python. fast learner tho

awwwsome site all round

stumbled and tweeted.

keep well and in touch

Ian really did an awesome job with Thematic. At first I was overwhelmed with their code but I then realized that you just have to take things at the very basic so the learning curve would be gradual.

I will release child themes to support Archetype. I’ve been getting a number of queries on a specific type of theme.

Thank you for downloading Archetype and I hope to hear your feedback. I’m happy to know that someone really downloaded the framework.

I’ve downloaded Archetype and when I get a chance I’ll take a deeper look and share my thoughts.

I’m sure you learned a lot about WordPress by working on Archetype. I know I’ve learned a lot while working on my framework and even if no one else ever wants to use it, it’ll still have been valuable to develop.

I’m guessing you may have some child themes for Archetype at some point in the future and I’ll be looking forward to seeing them.
