Sorry about that!

Absolutely, I've provided the licensing information in the Style.css as per the practices recommended on WordPress.org. This simply states the following:

License: GNU General Public License v2.0
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html

Are there any store requirements beyond this for denoting the licensing, such as a license.txt or similar within the theme, or will this cover it?

Is the theme GPL licensed? It will need to be licensed under the GPL before being considered for inclusion on WordPress.com.

Theme URL: http://clients.fgsd.com.au/eportfolio/ (Includes sample data used for unit tests)

Why on WordPress.com? : Many Australian teachers use wordpress.com for their professional blogs and would like to start using their blogs as eportfolios. The Australian Institute for Teaching & School Leadership (AITSL) will be asking teachers to collate evidence that their current practice measures up against the new National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPSfT). This theme is designed to help teachers use the WordPress.com platform to do just that.

It needs to be available in the WordPress store as most teachers have a WordPress.com account rather than a self-hosted blog. If it is not in the store I currently have no way of sharing this helpful theme with them.

As you can imagine, it has taken a fair bit of time to develop this theme, as such I'd like this to be incorporated as a premium offering that I can recoup my development costs from.

Many thanks, Matt

I have been developing a theme which I'd like to be able to distribute to users of wordpress.com.

I have gone through and passed the appropriate unit tests advised on WordPress.org (both manually & using theme-check) and have ensured my theme is W3C compliant.

I can't for the life of me find an appropriate contact point on wordpress.com, or instructions on how I can go about distributing my theme as a paid product in the theme store (or if this is even possible!).

Is there anyone with some experience in this area that could assist me at all? I'd be hugely grateful for any constructive advice.

Many thanks, Matt

This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you'll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

If you don't understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

I have in past tried ZapTXT, SendMERSS and RSSFwd. Among the three of them, the ZapTXT is very fast but it only sends couple of lines worth of post with big advertisement banner of their own. SendMERSS does the same except it sends your blog post with pictures as well. RSSFwd was not that great.

Personally speaking, I have not been satisfied with any Blog-to-Email options available. Feedburner does its job well but you cannot send individual blog posts (it only sends a digest email once a day).

The FAQ's are full of all sorts of useful information on virtually everything you need to know about using wordpress.COM.

I’d like to have my blog automatically send an email to a list of addresses whenever I post a new blog entry (but ideally not when a comment is added). Is this possible with WordPress.com?

If not, does anyone know if it’s possible with an installation of WordPress that I host myself?

Cordially,

Eric Hart
