Many thanks for this - I have a number of changes to make to the blog and will probably try these out on a private test blog first.

I mention this just in case you dont see any changes to the main blog and think that your kind suggestions have been ignored.

Thank you again

Would you like to start a thread on for that suggestion in the Ideas Forum please? I'm asking because It's not a suggestion that's theme dependent.

I have seen, in Spanish forum, that there are new users using Twenty Ten without know what theme are using"
It would be appropriate to fix this.

I don't see lots of themes questions on these themes in the wordpress.ORG forums.

I'm sure Staff do cross browser testing and test the adaptations they make to the themes themselves several times before they come to us because no adult wants to turn out work that doesn't work well.

As there is no official BETA testing group here for these newly adapted themes for a short after introduction there may be a bit of a bumpy ride for the first adapters, until all the kinks are identified and worked out by the Theme Team.

SHRUG ... no one is compelled to take that short ride. ;)

I like testing these adapted themes in my test blogs. So the way I see it is that those who don't want to risk a bit of a bumpy ride or can't handle one, can stick with the themes they have until they hear the new ones are running smooth as silk. :)

There are some very nice new themes, but they seem to be put out before they are tried and true. And without instructions. I am not complaining, but only saying. It is great that there are lots of new themes and that wp.com get to try them…

BTW at wordcamp in San Francisco Matt stated the goal is to replace Twenty Ten next year and introduce a new default theme every year. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/05/12/matt-mullenweg-at-wordcamp-san-francisco-2010/

No such luck with Twenty Ten though.

Digg3 or Unsleepable also return similar results: not users of that theme, but questions from folk using the theme. The footer info doesn't seem to have much to do with search results.

Thanks for the response. Ideally I would like to remove/hide the page tab whilst keeping the sidebar content available on all the pages.

Is this possible?

"2010 Theme" site:wordpress.com

And if that doesn't turn up what you want, you search for

"Theme 2010" site:wordpress.com

And so on. Naturally, you WILL get some extraneous results, but it will also, because it's a Google search, also grab the blogs using that theme.

I picked Andreas 04 because it looked good and I didnt fully appreciate the subtle differences between themes.Quite by chance I seemed to have picked a theme which seems to cover my needs without changing things.

The one issue I find slightly strange is the way the "about" information in the right hand side bar also appears as a page tab. Thus you can open the page and be looking at the same content as the side bar.

This will not bring up every user, of course, and that's a good thing because there are millions of WordPress.com bloggers blogging in many languages who are using the same theme.

What's important to understand is that in this shared blogging environment on this multi-user blogging platform is that all users of the same theme are, in essence, using the same underlying template. As any editing if themes and /or the templates underlying the themes will change every blog wearing the same theme only Staff can access and edit templates and themes.
