ThemeLove – Where My Love for Wordpress Shall Be Shown

Update: I’ve now sold Themelove to free up time for other things, which is a common habit for me – gotta stop starting stuff! Or stop stopping started stuff… or something.

I love Wordpress. In fact, with very few exceptions, I utilize it on almost every design/development project. I’ve been able to create blogs, business sites, educational sites, ecommerce sites, and am currently using it to develop a membership-driven project as well. I love gazing at nice Wordpress themes and reading tutorials. This is my hobby… tutorials… cause I’m such a fun guy!

I’ve just launched a blog to celebrate all things Wordpress, and I introduce to you, ThemeLove.

I’ll be using ThemeLove as a place to feature great themes (mostly one at a time), both premium and free. It will also become the launching pad for future themes that I develop. I want to pass along tutorials. As I break sites and fix them and make new things happen, I want to pass along the gleanings to other bloggers and developers.

The site’s address is www.themelove.net, and here’s the feed/subscription address.

I launched it the night before last and started off with 25 Beautiful and Unique Wordpress-powered Sites, which after getting around Twitter and a few design news sites, has created a very nice burst of initial traffic – around 700 pageviews in the first 48 hours.

After launching quite a few blogs (most of which have either gone to other owners or bitten the dust), I can tell you a few things I’ve learned about launching…

• Launch fast. Don’t wait for perfection. There are cons and risks to this, but my gut says to act on your passion.
• Launch big. Have several posts up and spread the word.
• That’s it. Launch fast and big.

Let me know what you think, and spread the word!
