One of the guys on wordpress.org got us up and running with it. That is one beautiful theme. Your color scheme is brilliant, and the layout is very readable.
I was hoping to run into you on the forums & get a chance to tell you how much I'm impressed by your design skills.

We have plans to submit it to the WordPress.org free themes directory. I can't give a specific date, but it should be available to download from the directory within a few weeks.

There are some themes that are only available here.

Sunspot was created by AutoMATTIc for wordpress.com and it may or may not be made available for self-hosted wordpress.ORG blogs at some point.

Got it working over there. Give a shout if you need help, but I don't want to bug the guys on the .com forum anymore.

I'll head over to wordpress.org & check over there. I'll meet you there if you wish, & maybe we can hatchet this out.

Thanks for your response.
My confusion comes from the Sunspot theme being written about in this Wordress.com News I received: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/new-themes-sunspot-and-triton-lite/

I just assumed that if it's posted about in there, I should be able to use it! My site Is hosted with HostGator.com - does this mean I can't use the Sunpot theme?
Would you be able to guide me to a premium theme company that might have something comparable to Sunspot?

Thanks!
Dellana

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.

You need to go here: http://wordpress.ORG/support/ which is where self-hosted sites are supported.

@dellana, see the above if your site is self-hosted. We cannot help you here at the wordpress.COM hosting service. If your site is physically hosted here at wordpress.COM, then this will apply to you:

We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM. We are limited to the 170+ (and growing) themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.

Themes at wordpress.COM have to be modified to work within the restrictions here and to support the unique features.

The differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org (self-hosted) sites.

I saw this theme in my WordPress newsletter in the same one as the Triton Lite theme. I can find the Triton theme, but not the Sunspot theme.
Why was it in the newsletter if I can't use it?
Thanks for any help.

I am an artist looking for a theme that will allow me to post photos of my work along with detail shots that are easily navigated, in page not format, not necessarily blog. I am happy to pay for a theme if it does what I want. Any suggestions?

I've searched by the listed author, Langston, by Automattic, by "newest," and by the name "Sunspot" and it doesn't show up. I've tried searching by using the features and tags.
Any suggestions? Anybody got a link to the zip file and I can download it manually?
