Remember that whole Thesis vs. WordPress debate that lasted a few minutes some time ago? Matt tweeted something about getting a T-shirt if you contacted him via his blog. Well I started my morning out with a trip to the PO box to see if anything was there (really I was hoping a check from a client was there so I could get paid).
What I found though was a package from Automattic containing all sorts of WordPress goodies. The thing I found the coolest however was the certificate that Matt and the gang included. If you don’t get the “joke” behind it, I encourage you to read up on the debate and watch this video over on Mixergy. There’s a part in there where Chris says,
I’ve done great things with WordPress since 2006. I have been arguably one of the top three most important figures in the history of WordPress. You, Mark Jaquith, and myself, are the three people that I am talking about.
It’s pretty interesting to listen to if you haven’t heard it already. Either way a big thanks goes out to Matt and the team at Automattic for sending a bunch of these out to people. I’m sure like myself they are grateful for their leadership in developing a quality project.
In the package you’ll notice that it contained a T-Shirt (it’s long-sleeved). Unfortunately the shirt that I got was a Large and I need an XL. So I’m going to give it away here completely FREE! It’s a little tricky though because you can only apply if you need a large shirt. What you need to do is this, comment on this post about what your favorite feature is in WordPress 3.0. You can include a link to a screencast (you can use Jing!), or a story. The more creative the better chance you have at winning. You will have until the Tuesday Sept. 7th at Noon EST to get in the running. I’ll then choose a winner and contact them directly to get their address to send it to them. Good luck!
In continuing my discussion from my previous post about Headway Designers, a comment by MommyGeek, made me think it was time to highlight Designers that went above and beyond and made really great examples of what you can do with this awesome theme. So I took a look through Ownen Greaves post about Headway themed sites and picked the ones I thought showed great design. It wasn’t easy to pick through as there were a lot of great designs. So below are the top 10 I want to highlight here. I provided the site URL and the version of Headway so that you can see what else these great sites are doing. Continue reading →
Headway theme is a great WordPress theme for the DIYer’s and the developer. If you’re looking to create a blog or a 1.0 site for your business. It’s a theme that allows you to create a site without having to code. You don’t need to know CSS or PHP or even a lot about WordPress. So fits really well with WordPress and the DIYer.

Do you like freelancing as much as I do? Well I’m looking for any freelancer anyone that’s used a freelance website before. More specifically I’m looking for what the URL is and why or why didn’t you like it. I’m exploring some now, and figured I could get a better idea if I just asked all of you! Leave them in the comments below.
I wanted to take a moment to give you an update as to why I haven’t been posting here lately. First, things got super busy at my day job, trying to get a new release out the door, which should hopefully be pretty soon. Second, I’ve gotten quite a few new new clients I’ve had to start work with and I have been trying to get my business site up and running.
My questions to my readers is this, would you like to see more screencasts or just post topics about WordPress? I’m struggling with what I want this blog to be exactly, whether it’s going to just be random thoughts, more like a tumblog or if I’m going to make sure I keep up a number of posts a week and have them be either a screencast or a informational post. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
