Rick the problem with the free templates is that they only give you your
front page and nothing else, the pay ones are of much better quality.
Element is being worked on to make it into 1.5 but there is no date set for
it as of yet. Which is a shame because I felt that was one of the better
templates!
There are some really awesome looking templates out there, but some of those
require us to use adobe or other products with it which in turn would raise
our cost of this endeavor upwards of 500-1000$ (AND THEY DO NOT TAKE FREE
GEEK DOLLARS!) LOL
With the choices down to Earth Blog and Relevant.. I still want to cast a
#1 vote for Element. scratch 1.5 and downgrade to 1.0! lol JK
I will cast my vote hopefully over the weekend.. my DSL connection at the
shop is pure crap (hence my cancelling it today and going with Comcast!)

I take it you looked through the hundreds of free 1.5 templates and these
are that much better or more stable somehow?

I would remove Element from consideration, it is a 1.0 template not a 1.5
template.
Running a 1.0 template on a 1.5 site is possible but in no way easy.
My suggestion would be only consider 1.5 templates

There are a gazillion templates available for Joomla web sites, and some of
them are way cool. The dev group decided to narrow its focus to three
professionally designed templates from Joomla Shack which we think are
suitable for our web site and which use FOSS technologies. The three
templates are EarthBlog, Relevant and Element.
https://www.joomlashack.com/pro-joomla-templates/286-js-earthblog-template
https://www.joomlashack.com/pro-joomla-templates/272-js-relevant-template

If you are interested in voting, please visit the Joomla Shack site and look
at the live demo for each template and the specs. Then rank your preference
from 1 to 3; one being your favorite. A preferential vote is called an
Instant Runoff Vote (IRV). The template with the most votes wins. If there
is a tie, possible although unusual in IRV, I will pick the winner from the
tied templates.
Joomla Shack template licenses cost $40 per web site.
The Element template is not Joomla 1.5 native so Chuq sent an email to
Joomla Shack asking whether Element works with 1.5, what it lacks in 1.5 and
whether a native 1.5 template is in the works.
