News

Small Potato offers 20,000 free memberships for his Theme Club. As long as your site has at least 1000 visitors a month you’ll be eligible to apply for a number of memberships to pass on to your readers as you see fit. (I’ve applied for some memberships, and I’ll let you know the details of my own giveaway soon.)

Ben Cope, creator of the WordPress Dream Theme, has restructured the purchase options for the theme to include a option to customise the theme yourself for $97, and for $167 you’ll be entitled to a custom header image and some support, though not as much as for the full $247. The choice is yours.
