If you’ve been blogging for awhile or looking to start up a more professional blog for your business then ultimately you’ll want to invest in a premium blog theme. Premium blog themes offer benefits that free themes do not such as support, admin control panel options, advanced ad features, etc. Since I am a huge fan of wordpress and have been using it for over 4 years now I have come across (I think) almost every premium wordpress developer ever. This isn’t however an exhaustive list because I looked at which developers are still upgrading their themes (to atleast WP 2.8). If I found a developer who’s last blog post was several months ago with no mention of theme upgrades I didn’t include it. There’s no reason for me to promote outdated themes so I excluded them. So here they are, wordpress developers currently producing the best premium themes on the market.

What’s next in typography? HFJ reveals some very interesting info in one of their recently released talks by AIGA. Even though this talk was given in 2007 it is still very interesting to listen to if you want to know more about typography and how it affects us.
You can download the audio in MP3 format directly from AIGA here.
Most of the talks that we’ve given are lost to the sands of time, but this afternoon I was happy to discover that one of our favorite presentations lives on. For the AIGA Design Conference in Denver, we were asked to meditate on the topic of “What’s Next,” for which we presented a study of typographic history — and why the ‘historical revival’ might be a twentieth century idea whose time has passed.
The AIGA has posted the audio of our talk, which tracks with the images above; it runs about 45 minutes, including some questions from the audience, in which Tobias reveals some of the unpublished developmental names of Gotham. Also keep an ear out for two provocative concepts: a French wine scholar offers a pithy gloss on experimentalism, and a certain type designer defines “the underpants-on-the-head school of revivalism.”
If you find this interesting you can find a few more talks here

Click to download my free report.
So I was one of the 5 winners of the Envato referral competition, came in 2nd place. Many people wondered how many referrals it took and I’m sure some were wondering how the winners did it. Then a new competition was launched where you can win $3,500 if you create the most popular bookmark collection (by votes). So that got me thinking…
It’s pretty easy to create a collection of bookmarks but I wanted to go one step further and create something I think is of real value. And that is a collection of files you can use to earn money with along with a How-to guide. So I went about writing a 23 page report on how to make money from the Envato marketplace that I’m offering as a free download.
Inside I show you one of the methods I use to generate over a thousand dollars a month in commissions.
You can download it by clicking the link below. It’s in PDF format. So check it out and let me know what you think.
In the report I show screenshots of my earnings from last month which I think you might find interesting.
