Thanks to learning about WordPress and how easy it is to set up blogs I was able to build this site and lots of other sites. If you have been biting your nails wonder how to set up a blog it is time that you also learn about WordPress and StudioPress (previously Revolution) themes.

The WordPress theme used for this site is Revolution Office. While the theme is no longer offered StudioPress has replaced it with some excellent themes that you may like to check out. Click here to view more details

When Brian and Jason finally introduced the new themes now under the name Revolution Two, I quickly took a look at them. My first reaction was that these new Revolution Two themes were outstanding. My second reaction was disappointment for I realized that with my lack of technical experience and mental block when it comes to learning technical stuff I was not going to be able to use these new themes to the fullest extent. My only option was to pay for support if I really wanted to use them along with all the bells and whistles that were now available.

Actually the price of support seemed like a pretty good deal if you had not previously purchased the themes $99.95 for the one year Pro Package or $149.95 for Pro Plus life time support- about the same amount I had paid for the developer package. Sure they were offering a 25% discount for those that had purchased themes before Revolution went open source but I had already spent that much on scotch trying to calm myself down. I must tell you that I was not too pleased as I pulled out my credit card to pay for the support.

Now here is the great part. As you know I am a non-technical person that knows very little about code and theme design. For that matter I am certainly not a blogging guru of any kind. So I begrudgingly paid for the Revolution Two Pro Plus Theme Support and almost immediately started building a couple of new blogs. While I was building these blogs on the new themes I started using the Revolution Support Forum daily and sometimes several times a day. As I ran into problems I would check the forum for an answer. If no one had asked the question yet I would ask it. Actually to many of you some of my questions would seem trivial but to this non-techie they seemed as complicated as a heart transplant.  Almost immediately I received answers from one of the Revolution owners, forum staff or a forum member.

Believe me when I say that within a week or two the assistance I received more than paid for the lifetime support fee. I am 67 years old and plan on living another 20 to 30 years and more if God will allow me too.  That’s a money making investment and any of you that are invested in the stock market realize we don’t get many of those these day.

So is the Revolution WordPress Theme Support a rip off? As far as I am concerned it is one of the best investments you can make. On top of that if you help this old man out and join through the links on this forum I will make a few bucks and with a 9-year-old grandson in the house that still has college ahead I can use all the help I can get.

I really love the Revolution Themes for WordPress. A While back I started using premium Revolution Themes for WordPress by Brian Gardner for some of my blogs. Recently Brian joined with Jason Schuller and Revolution Two was born. Brian and Jason have gone open source with 10 brand new and fabulous themes. For you Newbies this means they are free. http://www.revolutiontwo.com/ Revolution Two certainly isn’t number 2 in my book. Revolution 2 is Number One and should be Revolution Themes Fantastic.

While the themes are free you have the option of signing for one year of lifetime support at a very fair price. I signed up for the lifetime support for at age 67 I should have a good 30 years left to play around.

This past week I switched two of my blogs over to the new themes http://www.TerminalObesity.com/ and http://floorcoveringexperts.com/ during the process I had lots of questions and let me tell you that the Revolution 2 forum is fantastic. Not only Brian and Jason but also other very talented web designers and members answered my questions quickly. http://www.revolutiontwo.com/support/

One of my next projects will be to redo the Terry Lile site using one of the new themes to showcase my blogs. While I am a non-technical blogger I love to build personal blogs for fun and profit and both WordPress and Revolution help me to do that.
