As some of you may or may not have noticed, the theme I have been using across my network or projects is from WooThemes.  Now, while I might have told you a few years back that a premium WordPress theme was a waste of money and time (because you could always just do it yourself) I have had a change or heart.  My investment in purchasing a premium theme has been really fantastic.

The great thing about WooThemes is that they come with a very in-depth framework backend that allows you to tweak many of the ways the themes both look and feel to the users.  You can edit colors, styles, the layout and more.  I have been really impressed.  I have also been able to get rid of a few plugins because of the built in features that WooThemes delivers. 

For example, I no longer have to use the All-in-One SEO plugin for WordPress because my theme has SEO capabilities built into it. 

Now, I know for some of you the price might turn you off from wanting to go jump on the bandwaggon.  $70 is a lot of money.  However, when you consider you can use the theme for the rest of your life and on concurrent domains, the price is not all that bad.  You also gain access to all the updates for that theme for free too.

Go check out the selection of themes they provide, and see if you can find one or two that you like.  They have a few free themes too that you might want to play with to see how you like the way they manage the theme backend too.  Go give them a visit at woothemes.com.

With a paid membership though you get higher quality wallpaper and the usual watermark is removed. I am a big believer in supporting people who bring you excellent content for almost nothing and with a deal like this, how could you turn it down?

I would like to say the folks at Web Hosting Talk are pretty darn bonkers, but they have people actually paying for it. I can’t blame them because if people were willing to give me money for the same thing – I might have to do it. Do Web hosting people really have that much money to burn? People there are other Web hosting forums out there! Need a list of them?

Go check out HostingHoopla.com!

Come on, give me some feedback – are people really that desperate for a t-shirt or are they just not aware that there are better hosting forums out there? Is Web Hosting Talk desperate for money?

I know they have been resold on a few occasions but they seem popular – why do they need to stick it to their members without giving much more of a perk than just a free t-shirt?
