«2manyusernames:What dolly said, plus the themes would have to be something that would lend itself to interesting articles.
As an example of a poor one was the Monty Python theme a few months back. Yes we all love Monty Python, but every single post made during that theme was old, very old, very very old which is only to be expected considering how long since python disbanded.
We need to all brainstorm on themes that would bring forth new and interesting links.
Don't forget that the theme does not necessarily mean that every 'participating' post must be precisely what the theme dictates. For instance, with the Monty Python example, simply describing a news item in a Monty Python-esque fashion in the description would qualify.
It bends the rules, sure; but it would lend itself to making the theme-a-day unique without being restrictive.

I think that would contribute to the theme more than anything! I think it encourages everyone to be a bit more creative and to put thought into their posts instead of just rapid-fire posting from his/her favourite journal.
