Many people have asked me to create a print edition of Sites that Soar! It’s easier for them to use and more convenient to store in their home offices.
So, I’ve written a print edition.  Because it’s a real, traditional book, it’s a little different than the ebook that people have downloaded.
The biggest change is the [...]

My book, Sites that Soar!, works with WordPress 2.9.2 and Branford Magazine 2.6 and earlier.
I love those early versions of Branford Magazine, and I offer them as free downloads, here and at BranfordMagazine.com.
They’re the themes that I use at almost all of my own websites.
However, I’ve been increasingly troubled by later changes in the theme. [...]

Update: I now offer 75% commissions through Clickbank, and — as of early 2010 — that seems to be a good way to share Sites that Soar with more people.
Please don’t spam people with affiliate links.  However, you can use your Clickbank affiliate link in most forums, in your emails, in your blog, and [...]

The new edition of Sites that Soar! is ready.  The price is $17 and you can order it at http://www.SitesThatSoar.com/
The book is 150 pages and full of step-by-step screenshots.  I’ve added many new chapters covering topics such as widgets, automatically installing WordPress, how to use the Edit Themes screen, and more.  The screenshots are all [...]

Later today, I expect to release it to my mailing list at a 50% discount (sign up in the right column if you haven’t already). That discount will [...]

The short version: I’m working on the new book as quickly as I can.  I’m hoping to complete it — and the videos that will go with it — on or before February 10th. (So far, so good!)
In the meantime, I won’t be replying to emails or comments.  They’re slowing me down. The most common [...]

In the strongest possible terms, I advise NOT installing Branford Magazine 2.6+ IF you’re using any previous version of that theme.
I tried the new Branford Magazine theme on one of my lesser-used websites, and the results were awful.
The good news is, you can revert to the earlier, fun versions of Branford Magazine.  I provide them [...]

This week, I’m moving all of my websites to a better hosting service,  Hostgator.
Right away,  you’ll probably notice that the pages load faster.  The site will be able to handle the increasing demand, as Sites that Soar! grows in popularity, too.
But, during this transition, there will be some obvious “growing pains.”  Images may not show [...]
