Default Premium Magazine Style WordPress Theme Available

Ok. I've been a member here for a while. I've been through the Hostgator scare of 06 . The Unlawful Internet Gambling Act of 06 . The move from Party Riches to PAW , the Jeremy Enke WSOP Rabbit suit stunt of 05 and now even the Absolute Poker scandal of 07 .

In all that time nothing has bothered me more than looking at this section of the forum and seeing site after site of badly designed sites, horrible SEO and people asking of advice only to see months later they've never changed a single thing on the site even though the veteran members here took their time to try and help.

Now I know we've all had our first sites and of course we always get a chuckle when we go back to visit them, but with all the information on this forum it's amazing how some of these still look and read so badly.

So, to help remedy the problem I along with my friend Brian Gardner (who's considered one of the best WordPress Designers in the world) are announcing the Revolution and Revolution News WordPress Themes.



If you don't want to use those crappy sitebuilders that generate horrible code anymore or are tired of not being able to design your own website or blog, than this WordPress Theme will take care of all of your problems.

First and foremost this WordPress theme is completeley customizable and is fully XHTML compliant. You simply download the theme, upload it to server, activate it and that's it. It just works out of the box.

Now you can of course completely customize it. You can change the colors, fonts, images, logo, layout and more. You can actually change just about everything, but the point of themes is to provide you with an almost finished product for you so all you have to do it change a few little things and then it's perfect for you.

I really have to say that it's amazing how customizable wordpress really is and how powerful it is when used as a content management system.

Now I'm not saying it's God's great gift to everything web design, but it is an easy, yet powerful tool for blogging and even running a full website. There's also plenty of huge sites using wordpress as their CMS.

These two themes are widget-ready, customizable themes that are ideal solutions for online magazines, online newspapers, affiliate sites and other websites that wish to use WordPress as a content management system.

Although there are thousands of free wordpress themes, most aren't very easily customized and lets face it... most aren't really that nice. Now these are premium themes so they aren't free, but they are very cheap. And really, how serious are some of you about your sites if you're not willing to even spend $50 on making it look and work like a professional site?

Regardless if you use these themes or some other ones. Make the decision to take your site seriously. If you don't then I'm sure others won't as well.

To find out more about these wordpress themes, view screenshots and to view a sample site, just click on the link below which takes you to my personal blog where I've written a full article detailing all the aspects of the themes.

I've also included some plugins listed at the bottom of the article to help make your sites seo better along with some other great wordpress plugins.

Now, although I do make money on sales of this theme I'm really just trying to help steer the newbies in the right direction.

Again, if you decide to not use it just make sure you're providing yourself with the best tools for success. It's a tough and competitive business and most new affiliates don't have the thousands or sometimes just hundreds of dollars it takes to put up a professional looking and working site.

So take advantage of this customizable theme. There really aren't a lot of good, premium themes out there.

View screenshots and an example sites at the link below.

we purchased one of the revolution themes (not this one, but it looks good too) and are very happy with it! kudos to the developers, and I recommend the revolution theme to anyone looking for the right way to have a customizable CMS site.

I've received a few questions from some members here about the premium wordpress themes and since most of them were along the same lines I thought I'd post them here to clarify a few things...

Quote:
I would like to use something like this for a poker site, not really a blog. I mean poker site, in that it will have mainly content and reviews on it. Like a regular affiliate site. Do you recommend this for that?
Yes. This is a great theme for that. Plus, wordpress is really flexible and again is completely customizable. Easily change the logo, font, colors, images etc... These two themes are a great choice for any full site or blog and can work either way.

Quote:
When you say it is customizable, do you mean I can change all the fonts, graphics, etc from the backend of wordpress? Or do you guys do that for extra money?
Yes. You can change all of those things quite easily from the wordpress backend. We do offer to set it up for you and modify the theme to your liking. The charge is $95/hour and typically would just take one hour if that's the way you want to go.

Quote:
Do I need to know a lot about php or web design to use this theme or Wordpress for that matter?
No. You don't need to know any of that. You can simply download the theme, upload it to your host, activate it and thats it. Obviously if you want to change the look a little html or css knowledge is a plus, but we can answer any questions for you or again help you set it up for the small one time fee.

Well, hope that helps any of you that are thinking about using this theme. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Oh, and Brandon... Just PM me tonight or catch me on aim chat and I'll help you make those changes.

Bryan

I could offer to take you to the best "Rub and Tug" in Vegas if you come visit me and Dan.

That should count as a special of some sort.

I'd love to, but the pricing is up to Brian the designer. It's actually really a good deal though as most custom Wordpress Designs typically cost around $500 to $1000 and again this is totally customizable so you can make it look completely unique.

I just read the review on JohnChow.com. The very last line of the review is actually exactly what I was thinking.

"Where is the affiliate program?" . Is there a plan for one? I think it would be really beneficial.

Ya, overall I thought the review was very good. I understand John's comment about the first theme not being all flashy colored or whatever, but in reality it was done that way on purpose since anyone who downloads it will change it to whatever they want anyways.

I'm chatting with Brian (designer) right now and told him to add the affiliate link to each theme. He'll be rolling out new themes each month too.

He actually does have an affiliate program already, but it's just announced on his personal site right now. He will be adding the info and links on it to the themes in the next couple days.

If you're interested in becoming an affiliate for it, just PM me and I'll set you up. And no I don't get anything for you signing up through me. Or you can PM me and I'll get you in contact with him directly.

I actually do however have the links from my blog using the affiliate program so we can track signups and downloads so if you do buy one make sure to use my links on BryanHauer.com.

Let me know if you guys have anymore questions.

Bryan

OK. Here's the affiliate link sign up for the time being and again there's currently not any sub affiliate program so I don't get anything for this. If you do download either of the themes I would appreciate you going through my site at the link in the first post.
