Hitting the WordPress Theme Market with a Vengeance

Well, not exactly. But it makes for a good title, doesn’t it? I am however, on a bit of a theme development binge this month and next. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that last week I released the first of many themes on ThemeForest (affiliate link) – a marketplace for themes and templates spanning many platforms.

(No Longer) Speaking at WordCamp Toronto ’09

I’m very pleased and excited to officially announce that I’ll be speaking at WordCamp Toronto 2009, which takes place the weekend of May 8-10. When I first caught wind of the event, I was immediately interested in attending. Having never been to a web development conference before, and with WordCamp Toronto being so close to home, not to mention right on target as far as the subject matter is concerned, it would almost be foolish for me not to attend.

Shortly after making my return to freelance web design, a familiar name appeared in my inbox. Not someone I knew personally, but someone I knew of. It seemed Chris Pirillo was in need of a redesign and had been pointed in my direction. When I got talking to Chris about what he was after, I quickly began to get excited, as a redesign was just the tip of the iceberg. Chris had this idea – a social media theme that would allow you to easily integrate the social networks you use on a…

Dissecting My Site: Part 1

12 Comments

Over a week’s passed since the first annual November 1 CSS Reboot. And what a week it’s been! Some how, I ended up on the front page of many design showcase sites that I frequent (list here) – which was awesome to say the least. This brought tons of fresh eyes to my site and in turn, lots of questions in regards to how I have things setup here. I even received a handful of emails asking for my WordPress templates. While I’m not going to hand them over (yet), I will explain…
