Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words!

I am thrilled the post successfully passed by your scrutinizing eyes. My high school English teacher would be proud :-)

Jennifer and I are familiar with Orlando and can guarantee you’ll appreciate the Pacific Northwest. Say goodbye to humidity!

Last but not least, thanks for becoming a customer. It means the world to us and as a small business we really do appreciate it.

Why? </p> <p>One reason (but certainly not the most important) is that you know how to use English grammar correctly. Seriously! I'm an ex-English teacher (and a novelist and a graphic designer, a mama and lots of other things), and I don't just notice errors; no, they reach out, grab me by the throat, and shake me. :-D I can't miss 'em even if I wish to. There's not a single error on this page--a rarity. </p> <p>The second reason is that you're obviously very bright. (And persistent. And multi-dimensional. And focused. And creative.) Unpretentious about it, too, which makes the intellect thing even better. </p> <p>The most important reason is that you're clearly a good person. The integrity you show by having honored your commitment to your original members is laudable. You also give credit where it's due. Good for you! I'd put up with any number of pesky grammar errors for this reason alone. The rest are icing on the cake. </p> <p>And finally...well...your themes are just plain freaking gorgeous! Beautiful design. Technically elegant. I'm really impressed (and so, SO glad I don't have to do the work myself! ;-) ). </p> <p>What more can I say? I'm hooked by this little bio of yours. I was vacillating between several themes--but I'll buy yours because of who you are. I'm glad to support The Theme Foundry; it's a company owned by good people. </p> <p>Ooo...and Boise looks lovely in that mountain pic. I'm sighing with longing. I live in sprawling Orlando, which has gotten to be "LA Lite." My husband and I will be moving to the Pac Northwest in a little under 5 years, and Boise is definitely on our shortlist! Enjoy!</p> <p>Yours, --Melynda</p> Dear Drew & Wife,

This post has resulted in a conversion for you today. Why?

One reason (but certainly not the most important) is that you know how to use English grammar correctly. Seriously! I’m an ex-English teacher (and a novelist and a graphic designer, a mama and lots of other things), and I don’t just notice errors; no, they reach out, grab me by the throat, and shake me. :-D I can’t miss ‘em even if I wish to. There’s not a single error on this page–a rarity.

The second reason is that you’re obviously very bright. (And persistent. And multi-dimensional. And focused. And creative.) Unpretentious about it, too, which makes the intellect thing even better.

The most important reason is that you’re clearly a good person. The integrity you show by having honored your commitment to your original members is laudable. You also give credit where it’s due. Good for you! I’d put up with any number of pesky grammar errors for this reason alone. The rest are icing on the cake.

And finally…well…your themes are just plain freaking gorgeous! Beautiful design. Technically elegant. I’m really impressed (and so, SO glad I don’t have to do the work myself! ;-) ).

What more can I say? I’m hooked by this little bio of yours. I was vacillating between several themes–but I’ll buy yours because of who you are. I’m glad to support The Theme Foundry; it’s a company owned by good people.

Ooo…and Boise looks lovely in that mountain pic. I’m sighing with longing. I live in sprawling Orlando, which has gotten to be “LA Lite.” My husband and I will be moving to the Pac Northwest in a little under 5 years, and Boise is definitely on our shortlist! Enjoy!

Yours,
–Melynda

I can totally empathise with your journey. Being a 'tiny team' like yours means we are pulled and stretched in so many different directions. Wish I had taken the WordPress route years ago, but at the time I thought updating client sites would be guarantee of a regular income. But times change and now more and more clients expect to be able to update their websites themselves and even with the recession we have had to turn more and more work away.</p> <p>Thanks for sharing your fascinating journey... and by the way I simply love your designs!</p> Your story really touched me!

I have still a few small issues to solve but otherwise, the Photography template is amazing! I need to have a professional photo portfolio, detached from my flickr account, and trust me if I say that I have spent weeks (weeks!) looking for the Wordpress theme that would satisfy me. And I am one of those, very picky and grumpy ones ... you know. Middle age .. :) And then I saw a friend of mine's tweet about Theme Foundry's new template, and I loved it! And I have bought it right away and even though I have always been so much behind with Wordpress (shame), I managed to figure out everything within a few hours. Amazing! :) Soon it will all be ready. It's great! Thank you all! I just wanted to say big thank you! I have still a few small issues to solve but otherwise, the Photography template is amazing!
