My theme is lightweight, ie6+, FF2+, and Safari3+ compatible and passes the w3c check for HTML 5. It is a two column theme optimized for 1024x768 with simple navigation and a nice wide right sidebar with a featured block. My theme is complete and ready for contribution.
I have seen theme availability as a little bit of a weak spot for Drupal when compared to some other CMSes. I have loved the Drupal project for a long time and think it could only benefit from more clean, valid, and modern themes. I plan to continue contributing future themes as I make them.
I also have selfish motivations for contributing themes to Drupal. By showing my work, I look forward to getting feedback from others who are no doubt better than I am at this sort of thing. By contributing my themes I believe I can become a better designer/coder. I am also interested in "getting my name out there" in hopes of getting more freelance design work.

gthing commentedI have attached a new version here with a cleaned up .info file. I noticed I had left some unused regions in there.
Comment #4
avpadernoSee Apply for contributions CVS access before to apply for a CVS account.
Comment #5
gthing commentedCan you please be more specific? I am unable to find anything in the instructions that I have not done.
Comment #6
beeradb commentedAfter reviewing the CVS application procedures as well as your theme here's a few things which might help get this through next time.
That's all I saw. Kiam, if you saw other things please speak up about the specifics. Unfortunately, according to the CVS application guidelines you'll need to submit a new application once you've addressed the code changes and can include a screenshot or link to the theme in action. Good luck gthing.

gthing commented1. The link to the theme in action is modernbirdstudios.com. The URL is included in the CVS application although it is not formatted as a link.
2. I have cleaned up the spacing issues in my PHP file and made tons of changes to the CSS file to bring it in line with the guidelines.
3. Fixed.
Code is attached for review. Thanks.

avpaderno@beeradb: The reason I marked the report as is that it was not reported the link to a screenshot, or to a demo site that would mean the applicant didn't carefully read the requirements for a CVS application (which seems commonly done, lately).
Comment #9
gthing commented@kiamlaluno: But I'm good now, right? You see the URL in the description?
Comment #10
beeradb commented@kiamlaluno: understandable, I missed it the first couple reads as well, but it was actually there. Just hidden because the site didn't autolink :)
Comment #11
beeradb commentedfrom page.tpl.php:
None of the referenced stylesheets/JS files are included. I'm assuming these are all for HTML5 compatibility in IE? You should include all of these files, except for the 'html5.js', in the theme. It would also be nice to see them added with drupal_add_js and drupal_add_css where appropriate, so end users can take advantage of CSS/JS aggregation and compression.
If you can fix these issues I'd be willing to mark this RTBC.
Comment #12
gthing commentedDoh! Those calls are not necessary. I thought I had taken them out but I think I did my previous revisions on an older version of that file.
Those calls have been removed from the header and the wmd.js from the body.
