I think all of those designs are top-notch. Also, I see some here that didn’t make it in the competition that could have given them a run for the money.
Keep up the great effort with maintaining the most comprehensive list of WP 1.5 themes to date. It is certainly appreciated.
BB – Thanks very much for the kind words – they are as appreciated
