Well, it’s been a long time coming – I’ve been hinting at the release of my second WP Commerce series theme since January, and without further ado, here it is!

WP Commerce Flex is a huge upgrade from the first theme in the series – WP Commerce Steel. It features a variety of options, solid SEO-friendly CSS layout that is easily customizable, and built for seamless integration with PHPbay and PHPZon.

Here are the features:

*Simple CSS based color scheme for EASY customization

*SEO friendly layout – main content appears before right sidebar in the code

*No images to edit, fast loading

*Custom sidebar position for S2P Integration

*Featured Content Gallery Integration

*Suckerfish Drop-Down Menus

*Built in Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions (opens in a lightbox). Just update with your website address and email

*8 convenient sidebar positions

*Yoast Breadcrumb plugin integrated into theme

Need Suggestions for New Theme Previews

Monday, March 30th, 2009

I’ve got 2 new free WP themes ready for release. The first is going to be a new WP Commerce theme for use with EPN and Amazon affiliate sites. The second is a magazine style theme with some cool features.

The problem – I’ve been using the Theme Switcher plugin to display my theme previews, and it works great in some cases, but themes that have an unconventional sidebar setup don’t display well. A good example is my WP Commerce Steel theme preview. I need to find a way to display all my themes so that they look finished, and don’t have any weird looking sidebar problems.

I was going to try to tackle this with WP MU, but I can’t get the install to work, partially I think because I have a regular WP install in the root directory.

If anyone has any good suggestions for a good way to do this, I would really appreciate it, and I will quickly release my two new themes.

In other news, I’m also still looking for more feedback in regards to the EPN tutorial series. So far I am still planning on doing a tutorial covering how to set up the Flexi Pages widget, and how to set up the most recent Search-2-Post release. If anyone has other ideas for tutorials, let me know. I’m working on the marketing and promotion portion of the tutorial and I’m thinking of going through it by combining it with a live case study, to pinpoint particularly effective marketing techniques. Stay tuned.
