I’ve written about sources for Textpattern Templates elsewhere, but I just discovered Textgarden.org, a new site devoted to layouts for Textpattern. Whether or not you use a template for your blog, it’s useful to study templates to learn how they’re put together, especially when they include plugins you might want to use. Even if you aren’t using Textpattern, you might find it interesting to see how these templates are designed (some of them have been ported from WordPress). The site is young (it launched July 12th), but if it catches on, it will be great to have a repository of templates in one place.
