I am super excited to announce the release of our newest WordPress theme, Traction! Traction is a dark and clean magazine style theme with a robust options menu and built in support for WordPress post thumbnails. This is the theme I meant to design when I started Punchcut late last year, it just wasn’t ready yet. Traction comes with a boatload of features, including three colors schemes (red, blue, green), built in Twitter support, and much more. I encourage you to browse through all the features and take it for a test drive. Be sure to let me know what you think in the comments.
Today I am proud to announce Themes by Jestro is now officially The Theme Foundry! To be clear, nothing else about our business has changed. We have simply switched our name, moved to a new domain, and re-branded our themes project.
Why the change?
This has been a few months in the making. When I began this journey in late 2008 I had no idea where we would be in 2010. The placement of the site on a sub-domain of our design and development business along with the Jestro Themes / Themes by Jestro name was a logical but short-sighted choice. After a fantastic 2009, and the release of two new themes, the project has now outgrown “subdomain status”. I have big plans for the The Theme Foundry in 2010 and this change lays the groundwork for those plans.

We are having a New Year’s membership sale to kick off 2010! Use coupon code 9D245 and save $5 off PRO membership. The sale is limited to 50 coupons, so don’t miss out. Sold Out!
Big news today. We just released a brand new theme, Punchcut, and are rockin’ some fresh new digs here at Themes by Jestro. Some of you how might have been following along on Twitter and know the launch was supposed to be yesterday, but mod_rewrite decided to take me 12 rounds as I was running the final checks before launch. Needless to say, I picked up some bruises but eventually came away with a knockout.
This marks an important point in our history for several reasons (which I will get to later). I encourage you to take a look around and please let me know what you think of the new setup. Don’t hesitate to post a note in the comments if you find any bugs while browsing around. Alright, let’s talk about Punchcut.

If upgrading please read and follow the upgrade instructions carefully.
Download Version 1.20: PRO Members head to the member download area. Free users grab your copy from the free download page.
Titan has now been upgraded to our new framework and is ready for translation! We just recently completed this process with Vigilance, our flagship WordPress theme. We didn’t want Titan to feel left out, so she is now sporting a shiny new options page and framework as well.
Titan 1.12 has just been released. Go ahead and download it now. This release is a minor upgrade fixing a couple small issues:
- Bugfix: Missing paragraph styling in the sidebox
- Bugfix: Long post headers were not wrapping correctly
Titan has been very quick, lean, and stable since it’s initial launch 4 short months ago. If you have any bug reports please post them in the comments.
Summer Sale!
Due to the success of our Spring Membership sale we are running a summer sale! This time around the sale is limited to 100 coupons. Sign-up now and save $5 off PRO membership with coupon code 34D3F.
We hope all the Vigilance users out there are enjoying a great summer!
Vigilance 1.40
Vigilance has been stable and robust for some time now, running along like a well oiled machine. Believe it or not, we didn’t need to make any changes for WordPress 2.8. It just works. This is great, but it doesn’t mean we are going to sit around and stare at it how good it looks. Vigilance 1.40 is scheduled to drop this summer and it will without a doubt blow you away. In fact, we are jumping version numbers due to all the enhancements! Here is what you can expect:
