Our most popular free theme releases of the past have been Brian Gardner designed themes (yes, the Brian Gardner of Revolution fame). So all WordPress theme conoisseurs will be glad to know that this month we're releasing Brian's latest theme, Nitrous.

Besides it's ultra-clean look, perhaps the coolest feature of Nitrous is the way it can auto-generate drop-down navigational menus using your WordPress pages and sub-pages. This allows you to give your readers lots of navigational options, without cluttering up the nav bar.

Nitrous comes with a built-in header image, but this can easily be swapped out to fit the theme of your blog.

Katy over at I'm Blogging That has published a great article that goes in depth on choosing a monetization strategy. Her post covers various monetization strategies such as banner advertising, choosing an ad service, ad placement, and much more. Of particular interest to me was Katy's thoughts on pricing.

Everyone that comes to you for banner advertising will do so for different reasons. Because of this, there should be some things you take into consideration when choosing how to price out your banner advertising spots.

• How many banners will you have in one area?
• Will banners be rotating?
• Will you be using the no follow attribute on links?
• Do you have traffic that will click on banners/links?
• What is your PageRank?
• What is your Alexa Rank?

It’s only my opinion that the more banners you have in one area, the less you charge for them. If you choose to rotate banners in a single position, the charge should be even less.

I'll be trying to monetize my own site in the not to distant future and Katy's article serves as a good primer into the realm of monetization. Other articles related to this topic on Performancing include:

BloggerTalks.com, headed by Thord Hedengren has published an inteview featuring our one and only Ryan Caldwell. The interview covers PerformancingAds, the redesign of Performancing.com, the Hive and much more. Here is a sample taken from the interview:

Selling ads is hard, most bloggers have understood that by now. Why will Performancing Ads bring in more money than, say, Google Adsense or Text-Link-Ads?

I think that the question goes in the wrong direction. It should be “How will PerformancingAds compliment and possibly exceed AdSense and TextLinkAds?” The fact of the matter is that we didn’t want to compete with current sources of income, but provide an additional stream that was substantial.

Two of the benefits of being part of PerformancingAds as a publisher is that 1) you get exposure in our marketplace and 2) we have a direct ad sales team working to sell ads for your site.

Be sure to check out the interview and let us know what you think.

So, I will be the first to admit that I can garner a temper when someone mindlessly bashes something I write. I could let it all slide, and let things be said about me and my writing, but, then again, I should have the right to defend myself when someone criticizes what I write. Well, it is a complex thing, and one must compose himself or herself in a correct manner to avoid ending up in a bad situation.

I tend to take everything head-on. Some of the stuff I have taken the time to write in the comments sections of some of my blog posts could be developed into full-fledged articles, but it is a thin line between defending myself and entertaining the haters. I will not hold back on anything I write about, and if someone or something is downright ridiculous, I will put my reputation on the line to state the facts. It is who I am, but I know that I have been in situations that I could have handled better.

Those of you who keep track of search trends, patterns, keyword volume, and search origins should love Google Insights. Insights is a tool that was released by Google which allows you to tap into the data behind the searches people are making across the globe. You can use this tool to figure out search volume patterns across specific regions, categories, and time frames. Bloggers can use this tool to figure out what people are searching for and then provide that content on their blog. For the purpose of this overview, I'm going to be using the search terms: icons, blogging, wordpress, and monetization.

(Note: I feel a bit silly placing a Copyright notice on this article because, as a professional writer I know that Copyright is in place from the minute I create a work and does not necessarily require the symbol. Copyright ownership rests with the creator of content. That's part of the TofS of this site. Professionals respect Copyright, but thieves do not. Since Zurza stole one of my posts on this blog, I want to make it a little tedious for him/her or anyone inclined to steal others' work to have to check every line to see if something needs to be removed before they scrape it and post it their sites. If nothing else, they might learn something about how to write so they can do it themselves without stealing words from others.)

In my opinion, one of the most interesting aspects of analytical software such as Pmetrics would have to be the referral logs. Referral logs store important data which allows you to determine how someone happens to come across your web site. So far, I've seen a wide assortment of referrals, mostly from some variation of Google. But I've also had the privilege to discover a referral site called Link River where someone who had an account within that site was sharing my content across the network. I think that would make any blogger feel pretty good.

Outside of the usual suspects, I've only come across a few interesting and unique ways of stumbling across my blog. For instance, not too long ago, I received a referral from the StumbleUpon demo page rather than the site itself. Another site I discovered through my referrals called EasySearch is a search engine based in the U.K. which takes the best of the Yahoo!, Microsoft and Ask.com search engines and puts them together to be accessed from one location.

Those are just some of the places I've discovered thanks to my referral logs. Referrals serve as an excellent source of information in terms of figuring out where your audience is hanging out and sharing your content amongst themselves.

Regardless if you use Pmetrics or not, what are some of the coolest or most unique ways in which a browser has stumbled across your blog?

The folks over at SixApart have recently announced what might be some of the biggest changes in Movable Type's history. It certainly is making noise throughout the blogosphere. This release marks a significant change to SixApart’s license agreement as well. This is another attempt to persuade WordPress users to make the switch, but the features are so good that even I am considering installing a new blog on Movable Type. The gap between the CMSs in terms of functionality and usage is quickly closing up.
