I really appreciate the community here and the help I've received over the years. I also appreciate all the theme and plug in developers and donate as often as possible.
This site is using the responsive theme Elegance.

I do have one request that people developing themes populate the demos with images that are less sexual. It's a bit disconcerting if I show my clients themes with such images in a work environment. It may not be something people think about since so many developers are men, plus who doesn't appreciate beautiful women in general? But it is not a professional environment for work and sometimes (on other sites like themeforest) it can feel down right distressing because of the imagery. I work with a lot of conservative organizations and I just want to put this out there to think of your fellow female developers and their clients. If you are kind enough to create a theme to share, please go one more step and make the imagery less sexual for the demos.
I've had male clients think that it's an invitation to make overtures or sexual comments when they see these images. (The immature ones obviously) It creates the wrong vibe when we need to focus on being creative and solving communication issues.
I'll hop off the soapbox now. :-)
