I just started exploring some new exciting web features (for lack of a better term)… And several of them have popped up in front of me, just within the past few minutes.
I was wondering, not that long ago, what platform to use, for starting a new weblog. My main one had its fifth ‘Blogiversary’, earlier this month. I had used Blogger at that time, since I was beginning the blogging thing… Some time later, I was wondering if I should switch to Movable Type (then, TypePad was released); for my purposes though [a personal weblog], I could find no solid reason to do so.
I was leaning towards using a non-Blogger service this time, and Wordpress was released, more recently, and it seemed to be what more and more people are now using. Upon recommendations, I decided to go with WordPress… I found out however, that there is a different between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org (the latter is much more complicated, but with the former, I’m not allowed to put advertisements, and some other features, on my weblog). Fortunately, a new Blogosphere contact I made offered to install WordPress.org for me. I found out that my student web server space could not handle PHP, so I purchased a web hosting option, that not only handled PHP, but also provided “mySQL tables” (I still don’t really know what those are, but fortunately, I don’t have to
…
This evening, I have been wanting to get started, with this new weblog. The person who installed Wordpress.org for me suggested choosing a ‘Theme’, for my new blog, that is 3-column, and “widget”-ready.
The 3-column feature interested me, because I was remembering that, when editing my template on my Blogger weblogs, I was wishing that there could be a second sidebar (on the other side) – at least a short one. I like to have a lot of supplemental content, links, and features, on my weblogs and web pages.
I just began my search, and the first template (uh… theme) that interested me is this one, from which I found (trackbacked to that page) this blog entry.
From the two Adsense units at the bottom of that entry’s text: I thought that one of them was to “PayPerPost” – which I thought is the same service that I recently signed up for, when looking for ways to earn a little money, through the web. (The other day, I received an e-mail saying that they’ve rejected my blog from their main program, because I don’t have at least twenty new entries during the past 90 days. I recently re-started blogging, after a lengthy hiatus this year… Maybe it – or this new one I’m starting on Wordpress – may fulfill that criterion, before long – In the mean time, PayPerPost said that I was still elligible to use their “Direct” program, or Affiliate Tools.)
The second Adsense unit is especially significant, for the purpose of my comment here though, because the link in that ad (“Premium Wordpress Themes“) came directly to this blog entry!!
This is the first time, that I can remember, where an Adwords link led directly to a particular entry, within a blog… Is this is a common practice, among bloggers who are Adwords users? (I just signed up for Adwords the other day, and I hadn’t thought of using it for any of my blog entries… I recently signed up for Adwords – I was prompted to do this, because the web hosting plan I purchased (referred to above) was a GoDaddy plan, which gave me a $20.00 Adwords credit.) In the past, I have found other ways, on the web, of letting people know about my weblog, and particular entries within in (mainly, through comment posts and issue-based discussions) – but this is someone that I might want to look into… the cost issue is of concern though; I want to make sure that it would be worth it.
As for these “Premium Wordpress Themes” – are these mainly for use by those who have websites that are major publications, with a lot of articles and content? [i.e. - These are more for publication-type website, not a personal weblog, right?]
ahh… I see that’s what you meant, by “Magazine”-style themes. By skimming the start of this entry, and it’s title, I was at-first thinking that it was referring to a magazine of sorts, that deals with Wordpress.
As of now, I’m not starting a publication, or a website for one – though I may be next semester. I was disappointed recently, when I found out that the website for one of my favorite magazines changed its publishing format from a traditional website-format, with web pages, in directories, to a site in which everything seems to be powered by Wordpress.
Before Wordpress began, many magazines, newspapers, and publications had websites. Did they just build the sites, like one would a normal website (creating pages manually, and uploading them to directories), or was there some other management program that many of them used, that allowed for easy management of articles, in that publication?
Thanks for the information you’re providing… Keep up the good work, on the web!
In the moment I have 2 free wordpress blogs and I am interested on a premium “upgrade” to one of the above mentoned premium templates.
I dont know CSS or PHP. I can modify The wordpress premium version in the same way like the free templates from wordpress?
How its possible to change my template and to use the Revolution Wordpress Theme?
I can use my wordpress domain or I had to host a different domain?
Where I can download the Revolution Wordpress Theme?
Hello Miches,
You don’t need to know php or css to use either of these great themes and yes they are easily modified and yes you can use them on your own domain or at wordpress.
You can easily change the colors, logo, images etc… If you want to get a little more serious about some changes and want to add some real custom changes, we’re more than happy to help get you set up your site of blog exactly the way you want it. The cost is $95/hour, but generally we can have your site exactly the way you want it in that first hour.
You can download either theme right here on this page. Just simply click the that says “Click to view the example Revolution News Theme and purchase!”

Hi,
In the Revolution theme is it possible to have the bottom section that displays three pages (about, faq, demo) display instead the 3 latest posts? Even better if that section could be replicated beneath to display 6 latest posts. This would include the post summary then link to the posts permalink page.
Thanks.
Hi David,
You sure can set it to display the posts. It’s a simple change of the code to just call the most recent post.
Bryan
Hi again Bryan,
Can you please take a quick look at my blog and let me know if you can foresee any immediate issues with implementing your Revolution magazine theme?
Cheers,
David
Hey David,
I would actually suggest the Revolution News theme. It would probably work better for you as you could set up the home page to cover different topics of “Bad News”.
As far any issues I don’t see any off the top of my head, but the only ones I could even think of would be a specific plugin, but there have been no reported issues as of yet and we’ve sold hundreds.
Hope that helps!
Bryan
thank you for the links and info about the wp plugins. some of those i already use, but i always love learning about new ones.
Bryan: Is there any chance you might be doing templates like the Revolution one, or even Omni, for Typepad Advanced Template users?
Best,
N
Haven’t really looked into that, but definitely a possibility. I have some new WP projects launching in the next couple weeks so I’ll look into after that.
Bryan
