10. Free Texture Pack: Beach

With so many great textures out there, and great texture resources, there is often huge gaping holes in themes and subject matter that seem so obvious when you’re walking around and looking at your environment. This Beach texture pack was an attempt to close up one of those holes and we’re glad other people have found it useful.

9. Web Design Cost Calculator

The web designer cost calculator started out as a tool adapting the calculations discussed in a post in Smashing Magazine into a spreadsheet from which we could derive quotes to give to our own clients. After finishing the spreadsheet, we decided to make it available to everyone and we’re glad that so many people have found it useful as well.

3. Free Blogger Template: Polkadot Princess

Coming in 3rd and 4th respectively for downloads and pageviews are our brother and sister themes Polkadot Princess and Polkadot Prince. Essentially the gender-themed equivalent of its’ sibling, these two look great together and stand alone beautifully also. Our little 4 year old boy loves the Prince theme with the robots and airplanes, so we consider that a ringing endorsement!

1. Free Blogger Template: Grandma’s Hat Box

Our first Blogger template and still the most downloaded by a wide margin. We took our penchant for creating unique web sites with real textures and applied that to the Blogger platform. We’re always excited to stumble on a site that uses Grandma’s Hat Box.
