You touch on a lot of (seemingly) little items surrounding the back-end customization that you wouldn't normally think about if you were developing a theme for personal use. I've been following the development progress on Twitter and I must say it's impressive how quickly you've turned this around. Nice work. Great read and the theme looks amazing.

I also think you'll have a great opportunity with sales over at TF. I know a good portion of the great templates/themes have brought in thousands of dollars from a couple hundred sales. I've contemplated doing the same myself even for just some HTML/CSS templates too. Granted, it's only 40%, but the more you sell, that does increase. I'll definitely end up getting my hands on your Black Aperture theme, as it would work out perfect for a project I've got coming up :) Looking forward to seeing what other ones you've got!

Missed the bit where you said it includes the PSD; major plus point! Just need to sort out the server now...

I wish you could do custom field sets like you can in EE. I linked this up above, but <a href="http://wefunction.com/2008/10/tutorial-creating-custom-write-panels-in-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">here's a great tutorial</a> for creating a custom write panel using custom fields.

Even if you were going to use it as a framework of sorts, it would make a good starting point. Nice! Even if you were going to use it as a framework of sorts, it would make a good starting point.

You're a veteran around ThemeForest, eh? I've definitely been taking notes as to what makes themes sell, and what a theme needs to have a decent price tag. And your themes seem to always be at the top of the lists. Good stuff! Thank you, sir! You're a veteran around ThemeForest, eh?
