    You could possibly sell it or try and auction it somewhere. It is however a better idea to provide an actual standards compliant template, not just the graphics.

    hope that helps

    You can just sell the PSD but to make more than $20 you have to make amazing themes.

    Coded into wordpress you can make $60+

    Hi, i design and sell wordpress blogs/themes!

    In order to get a good price on your wordpress theme/design it has to be a good design coded and be XHTML & CSS valid and serve a purpose.

    You can just sell a design i.e .PSD Photoshop file but then that has to be well laid and layered out so the potential buyer can easily cut it up and apply it into wordpress. But dont expect top dollar for it, at the end of the day it's only half the process!

    Expect to get anywhere from $15 - $50 for a .PSD Photoshop design.

    A coded, XHTML & CSS valid, Widget ready theme $20 - $150 for a good design.

    Since you are a designer, can you please tell me where i can get a template that looks like the one the huffington post.com uses. I don't have money right now, and i am looking for a template that has a newspaper-ish design.

    p.s how much does it cost to make a template like that?
