Over the last month or so myself and Sarah have been working on a new project called Blog Themes Club.
Our aim is to release Premium WordPress Themes at affordable prices. Customers will have the option of paying for themes individually or paying a little extra to join the Blog Themes Club, which will allow them to download several quality themes. All customers will get priority support in installing and editing the theme. This is something which we believe many WordPress bloggers are looking for.
The Blog Themes Club website will unfortunately not be completed for another month or so as we want to get everything right. However, we currently have 3 themes ready for release and a 4th is being developed at the start of next week.
Therefore, we will be making our initial themes for purchase within the next week or two. Please be assured that although the main site has not been launched yet, all customers will get the highest level of customer service and support. Also, everyone who purchases a theme through BloggingTips before the launch of our main site will get a $10 discount voucher, which they can use against any other theme within the next 6 months.
All themes have been coded with WordPress 2.7+ in mind therefore they have all the recent code changes integrated into them.
The 3 themes which will be available at launch are :
Anima : Cost = $29
This clean white theme is incredibly easy to customize. Users can change the color of the design from the options area, change the type of font and add their feedburner and analytics code too.

Invictus : Cost = $19
You should all recognise this theme 
Invictus is the name of the current BloggingTips design (which we are replacing within the next few months). This black and red theme is widget ready and is very easy to customize.

Kronos : Cost = $19
Kronos is a dark grey and blue theme which was made exclusively for ProTycoon a year or so ago. It’s widget ready and very easy to customize.

Our Pricing Structure
There are some fantastic Premium WordPress Themes available on the net today however many of them are around the $99 mark. Understandably this is out of a lot of bloggers price range. Therefore we hope to develop quality themes at a more affordable price.
At $29 for our Anima theme and $19 for our Invictus and Kronos themes, we hope you agree that our prices are competitive.
I was originally hoping to release the BloggingTips theme (Invictus) and the Kronus theme for free to BloggingTips readers however we had to spend a lot of time coding these themes to get them ready for WP 2.7+. Plus, more importantly, we know that both of these themes will generate a lot of technical queries : how to edit the sidebar, change the footer, add a unique logo etc.
Our last major theme release was the popular Evolution Theme and that has highlighted how timeconsuming it can be to answer bloggers queries. I do plan on releasing more WordPress Themes for free via BloggingTips in the future however I cannot guarantee any great level of support. Whereas releasing themes through BlogThemesClub will allow both myself and Sarah to give time and energy to help people get the theme the way they want it

Nice templates………………..
This is cool Kevin.
I can see that this club will be an instant success if you keep the price of the themes this low.
Just remember that are a lot of demand for adsense optimized themes.
Thanks guys
We could integrate adsense ad zones into the themes however we didn't want to add too many options. Although additional options does help a lot of people, we are trying to develop themes which do not rely on too many functions so that the blogger can modify the theme as they see fit.
As I pointed out recently in my review of wpunlimited (fantastic theme), the more you integrate plugins to a theme, the more likely it will clash with other plugins out there. Which means that we would spend a lot of time trying to work out those bugs, time which would be better spent helping our customers
I am not ruling out adding adsense integration into future themes, and I cannot speak for Sarah here, but I would prefer to keep themes basic and then just write guides showing customers how they can easily add adsense into their themes.
I am looking for most cache wordpress themes to develop my business website.
thanks Kevin
