I am very happy to announce that the Agent WordPress Theme has been officially released today. This theme is ideal for real estate agents or brokers with multiple agents. Go on, take it for a test drive!
Here’s a screenshot of the homepage:

I am very proud to announce the launching of my professional website, StudioPress – online business solutions using WordPress. This is something that I have needed to do for quite some time, and am glad that I finally was able to develop it.
In short, StudioPress is going to be my official web design, WordPress services and consultancy website – a place where I can be hired.
StudioPress will be the parent company for all that I do online, which means ultimately Revolution will fall underneath it as a web property that I own/run.
One thing I will say is that I have a lot of plans moving forward, both with Revolution and other things in general, and needed an umbrella to keep it all under. For a number of reasons, I was advised to do this. (aren’t lawyers and accountants great?)
Looking back over the past year, I have realized that I am running Revolution all by myself – true, I have some forum moderators, but the bottom line is that in order to continue developing professional themes, building an ever-growing community of users and ensuring quality documentation, it was best to build a company in which I can hire people to help do things.
After all, I’m only a one man show at this point, and you would all be surprised by the amount of work that running a WordPress theme website entails. (not to mention the 100’s of emails and private messages I get on a daily basis)
With the possibility of speaking at conferences and upcoming WordCamps, I needed to grow – and growing means not just doing more as an individual, but inviting important people who have proven themselves to join me. With the possibility that Revolution will be run on an incredibly popular website in the near future, (sorry no hints yet) my life might become insanely busier.
Thus, the launching of StudioPress…
On the cusp of the New Year, my wife and I sat down and made a list of New Year’s resolutions. I mentioned some of my business ones here, but I also had a few personal ones – one that I wanted to share.
Many of you know that every year I participate in an event called the Chicago Breast Cancer 3-Day, and have posted many times on my site here asking for donations.
This year, I wanted to go above and beyond my personal involvement with the event, and I am forming a team to walk in the event. Because my wife has decided to crew, at this point I’m walking alone and would love to share the experience with any of you.
So if you live in the Chicago area, or even the Midwest and want to travel, I’m extending the invitation for you to join me for an incredible 3 day journey, that will be something you never forget. Just think, 72 hours of WordPress and blogging discussion, while we’re walking to save lives!
If you want an window into what the event is all about, you can watch this:
Here are a few relevant details about the event:
The Chicago Breast Cancer 3-Day is August 7th-9th 2009 and is an amazing 60-mile journey that helps mothers, sisters, spouses, and friends get one step closer to a world without breast cancer. Join me for three inspirational days where together we’ll walk so long, so far, and with so much hope, the world will hear our footsteps.
Everyone who participates in the Breast Cancer 3-Day discovers her (or his!) own personal meaning, regardless of their size, age, athletic ability or lack thereof. For some, it’s the overwhelming pride that comes from completing what they thought was impossible. For others, it’s the joy of doing something so big and bold they know they’ve made a difference. And for many, it’s the opportunity to bond with loved ones or forge new friendships that last a lifetime.
Are you interested, but have questions?
If you have any questions about participating, please let me know – either by leaving a comment, or asking me to email you. If you would like to donate to my personal fundraising, I would certainly appreciate that as well. Click here to donate!
