I don’t know about you but I personally think that sponsored wordpress themes goes against the whole ethos of the community? I must admit that I totally agree with this quote from Matt Mullenweg: “Our design and theme community thrived before themes with embedded ads came along, and it will continue to thrive long after their gone. Embedding ads in themes is disrespectful to users, and creates confusion and uncertainty about which themes people can trust.”

I am still quite new to Wordpress and blogging in general but I think if you are going to create some themes then why not just share them in the proud knowledge that your work could be used on many many blogs? Your details will be embedded in the source so it is not like you are not getting credit for your work.
