    So i'm looking into making wordpress themes to give away for free/build up my portfolio.

    I was just wondering how people do the "Live previews" of each theme, fair enough if you only have a few you just install WP into a few folders, but what if you have a lot? Is there a plugin or something that I can use to change what theme it is depending on a variable passed through the url? Like this site does, i'm just not sure how they are doing it. Any help would be great!

    Thanks,
    TS

    hmmm, thats one way I could do it I guess. But i'd prefer the URL way like the site I showed above.
