For a few different reasons we've decided to rename DrupalShark.com and begin operating under the name of ThemeShark.com.

First and foremost, we're thinking about the future.  Although our main focus is and will continue to be on Drupal themes and development, there's always a possibility that we'll want to move on and support other Open Source CMS solutions later on down the road.  I love Wordpress, for example, and I'd certainly like to see what I can do with it.

After some deep thought, we decided to put together a version of the Galapagos installation profile for Drupal 6.x. 

New and prior customers will find that it's now included in the zip pack in the files section of their account.

It should however be noted that most of the modules being used are in beta and in a couple cases alpha states.  But with that said, we poked around a bit once they were all set up and and they seem to do the job admirably.  

This month we've decided to release another free theme - this time for Drupal 6.x.  It's a bright and cheery theme, with colors reminiscent of a popular fast food chain - but the red and yellow hasn't seemed to hurt them in the least.

The XHTML validates to Strict, and it's been tested with Firefox 2/3, IE, Safari and Opera.  Those with some CSS know-how might not find it too hard to tweak, either.

Today I just want to highlight a couple of excellent modules that will help new Drupal users who may be coming from other CMS solutions like Joomla make the transition a little bit more smoothly.  There's no doubt that Drupal provides a powerful and flexible platform - but let's address a couple of the issues that seem to confuse people right off of the bat. 

This month we're introducing a brand new promotion: Buy two of our themes, and get the third one for free.

If you're a brand new ThemeShark.com customer, just add three of our themes to your shopping cart and the price of one theme will be deducted from the order's total during check-out. Customers who might want to purchase multiple licenses of the same theme will also get the cost of one deducted from the order's total.

Our first free theme Amity Island is now available for download. It's a fixed width theme with collapsible right and left sidebars, six user regions and one level of Suckerfish dropdowns. We've included a Pngfix, too, for transparency support in IE6. Currently it's only compatible with 5.x.
