Phillip Gampe This is exactly right but it is not an illusion anymore as it is working already. WordPress Themes are a complete mess, but if you can get the quintesence out of this mess with kay's Extension - Themes Wordpress Adapter - TYPO3 will have thousands of themes available to be used instantly and most of them even free of charge. Those are ideal starting points for everybody from the nubs up to the big agency. You should join some of Kay's Hangouts to learn more about Themes :-)
TYPO3 is missing good themes, Wordpress and also Joomla have lots of nice Themes - don't look at the coding - the customer won't do this! He is only interested that it looks nice. If you can now reuse those themes in TYPO3 we are actually some kind of "hijacking" the user and customer base - at least digging and nagging on it. So they have another choice with the same look and feel but much more security etc. When they now open the package they will soon realize what they can do with WordPress or Joomla etc. or what they can do with TYPO3. Now you can talk with them about functionality, extendibility and so more and of course about security - the strength of TYPO3. If TYPO3 would have a working nice blog actually it would have all needed to simply conquer WordPress! Show those Wordpress people that TYPO3 can also be a Blog like WordPress was long time ago ;-) Let WordPress be CMS and show your customers that TYPO3 can be a BLOG i.e. with the extension here http://t3-developer.com/extensions/multiblog/online-demo/ even a multiblog - nice. and extend it with http://t3-developer.com/extensions/community/community-extensionuebersicht/ you can target the ones who are interested also in Drupal. TYPO3 is a great Tool but it has the wrong packaging and until now not many nice looking templates - who cares where the Templates come from if they look nice on TYPO3 - it will drive new customers to TYPO3. "Wer den Pfennig nicht ehrt ist den Heller nicht wert!" Principle - spread the word and try Themes!
