Performancing’s March 2008 WordPress Theme: One In a Million by Thord Hedengren

by

In case you’re new to Performancing, we release a new, high-quality WordPress theme for free each month. For our March 2008 theme we are pleased to be releasing One In A Million, designed by my friend TDH.

One of my favorite things about this WordPress theme is the way it separates individual blog posts on the index pages. If there’s one gripe I have about most publishing sites on the Internet (including this one;-) it’s that posts often bleed into each other. Often, the only element used to split up posts is a bold headline. With One In A Million, each post is boxed off from the rest.

As a 3 column design with the content in the middle column, One In A Million has plenty of above the fold advertising real estate, while maintaining a sufficiently wide content area.

PerfCast #2: Chris and Ryan Talk about Video and Branding

by

In the latest PerfCast, Chris and I discuss how you can use video to differentiate your site. Specifically, we discuss the fact that the Internet is rapidly driving towards a mixed media format where text no longer suffices, and where video is the most sought after and most consumed media. Chris introduces the fact that new tools are being developed that make video production easier than ever (you can now stream and record video easily with your cellphone), and that the cost of entry to video production is getting to the point where it’s accessible to bootstrappers with little or no funding.

In the process, we also discuss my own experience with The PopCrunch Show, as our team transitions into daily production (with the hope of even greater exposure).
