Best place to offer a skin for Vanilla Free?

edited January 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hey all. I am 90% done on a custom theme for Vanilla and wondering what the best way is to offer it free? Can I post it here? Is there a dedicated site for themes yet?

This one will be like a notepad and my next theme will be a major overhaul.

Here is a pic of the theme I am offering free:

And here is the one I have just started coding: (The right side will be the Vanilla content, not the thread stuff)

The backgrounds are interchangeable without affecting the design itself. So if you do not like wood, no worries.

Let me know the best place to post that kinda stuff. Thanks!

  • 422> I am going to sell the second one as its going to be a major overhaul theme. The free one is more or less a "Shell" theme with the innards just being CSS color changes and such.

    But I will come to that road later on. Where is the best place to "sell" a theme? My own site? Or is there a place I do not know of for that too?
