Contests
Apart from my own fabulous contest which still has a week to run, here are a few more that I’ve come across in case you’d love a premium theme but haven’t a premium budget:
- I am Jack’s Design is giving away a copy of Adii’s Original Premium News to encourage signups to his new newsletter.
- Follow Chris Garrett on Twitter for a chance to win one of Adii’s Premium News Themes.
Discussions
- Small Potato:
a) provides a preview of his tenth WPDesigner theme, to give an idea of what to expect for his future club themes
b) berates careless paid theme designers who fail to check whether any external code they’re using in their themes is licensed for commercial use
c) discusses the merits of simple vs complex designs - Adii shows off the customisation options page for his Premium Themes.
- Ptah Dunbar continues the debate on setting standards for premium themes
