    Thank you so much for this Theme John, it is wonderful. As someone who helps set up wordpress blogs for my clients I'm always looking for great themes and I can't wait to put this one to use.

    Angela,

    Aw shucks it was nothing - actually most of the credit goes to Cory Miller - I was more like a consultant on the project!

    Great layout. I have been looking for a flexible 3 colomn layout since I've been blogging (1 month:-)). I too, may be moving to Wordpress so I will check it out. John, I enjoy your comments and work you do for small business-Thanks for your efforts!

    I have a new blog with WordPress and am enjoying myself although I find writing challenging. I started reading your posts after a Mike Marchev recommendation. My blog, such as it is: http://travelchoice.wordpress.com

    Hi John:

    I have always been unclear of the impact of a blog platform switch to incoming links ... knowing that you have invested a HUGE amount of effort and time into building your readership and ranking, will all incoming links remain intact as you migrate to the new system?

    I have pondered a switch from Typepad to Wordpress myself, but was wary of having to start link-building from scratch.

    Templates look great! Can't wait to see the new look live.

    John, I'm sure you will be very pleased with the versatility of WordPress. From a small business perspective WP is getting to the point where it can even replace a traditional web site all together.

    I'm even starting to see some prominent A-list bloggers who've long been on other platforms switching to WordPress.

    Great looking theme, too. I'll be sure to take it for a spin.
  • John Jantsch · 2 years ago
    Chris,

    Yes, is it a blog or is it a web site or is it simply publishing content and leveraging a web presence?

    WordPress does seem to be the tool of choice these days.

    Congrats on moving to Wordpress. No complains overall with that blogging platform. The best part of using Wordpress is there are so many plugins available (and it's easy to go overboard too). I have replaced my website with the blog altogether thanks to Wordpress.

    Hi John, I am just super impressed with all of this great content you have. I really want to figure out a partnership now. Also, great move on Wordpress. We built Http://www.MyTypes.com on Wordpress.

    I am a new reader and I enjoy your insight and articles. I just downloaded your theme and will be using it at Fianzas
    LA Fianza.net a new site catering to the needs of those in the Hispanic market who are in need of Immigration Help or Bail Bonds.

    Have a Great Day, Thanks fore the theme.

    I love this theme. I noticed a difference right away when I used it with all of the Link The Planet sites. I changed the images and a few colors and some of the code but overall this is the greatest and easiest template to have on your Wordpress Powered Blog.

    You can check out the alterations on Link The Planet,
    podcasts.linktheplanet.com and blog.linktheplanet.com

    Nice template! The convergence of web site and blog continues: 3 years from now, will this simple distinction still operate? The internet is becoming a conversation, and that tide carries everything in its path.
  • Roy · 2 years ago
    What a nice theme. Hmm.. I like it very much but I guess I will have it done with my new blog as my current blog has already got a great theme. Thank you for sharing it free. Appreciate it.

    Wow, that's a great theme. Thank you. There needs to be more small business tools / themes, etc. out there so that we can spend more time working on the small business and less time with the technical details. Thanks!!!

    I have a hard time finding simple easy to read templates, but I'm learning that they are not as complicated as they seem and everyone should try tweaking them.
    If you mess something up. You can always reload it
  • Nameify Hank · 1 year ago
    Like the other commenters, I have had a hard time finding a WP theme that presents my business correctly. It seems that most blog themes are variations of the same old thing...

    Thanks for sharing a FREE! theme that just might work for me on the sister site to my current business (which I paid handsomely for btw).

    Regards!

    The template looks excellent! I'm also looking forward to seeing the live site. This design is exactly what people are looking for. Simply because it is clean and simple and will be relatively easy to customize. I'd love to use this design!
