Free SportsPress Theme: Rookie

It’s been 2 months since I announced a sneak peek preview of a free SportsPress theme. And finally, after months of waiting, we’re thrilled to announce the Rookie theme! Hooray!

Being that this was our first theme submission to the WordPress theme directory, it was a long process, but we’ve also learned a lot along the way. For anyone who is curious or thinking about submitting their own theme, the whole process took about 4 months from the initial submission to getting approved.
