ABB will be back and it’s getting better then ever before

In April last year I created a tool called Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB) which imports products from CJ.com into wordpress. It worked good until WP 2.5. What I intended to build was what I had named project WP Octopus. It would be a tool to build affiliatesites that would have comparisontables, reviews, images, questions & answers and would work not just with CJ.com but also with Linkshare, Amazon, ShareASale, Tradedoubler and many others. ABB as I sold it then was the first step. But until 5 months ago I never had the time to develop it futher and make it up to date to work with wp 2.7. That was until January….as you might have read I went away in December 2008 and when we got back in January I made a drastic change in our company. I wanted to be 100% internet related and not depending on product of actual products. I created the prebuild sites and templates in mentioned before just to keep the cash flow comming as I knew I wanted to bring ABB back to live and finally make the product I intended all along.  In the mean while I had been working on ABB. The last 3 months it’s been almost daily and during my visit to Suriname (the country my wife comes from) I took the laptop with me and wrote a lot of code. ….the result…. :)  the new ABB is in Beta now I think it’s the ulimate tool to build affiliate sites around actual products. It has a ton of features that I always looked for myself but never found. Just to name a few…

Brian the author of the revolution themes made an announcement that I didn’t saw coming. He pulles all his themes of the market starting November 1st 2008.

So if you want to buy any revolution theme this is the moment.

He will start to make new themes that will be licenced under the GPL butto protect the integraty of the current premium themes he will no longer be offering those. His reason for doing this is that he feeld he owes the Wordpress community his whole business and the opportunity to leave his job. So as a thank you he will start to create free themes. Nice thoughts and completely in spirit of the open source community.

When I was looking for insperation I found several themes that I showed before. But I also noticed that there were more and more places that offered premium/paid themes for wordpress.

So last week I spend all my time with finding premium themes. The only criteria I had was that it shouldn’t be free. Quality of design is something that is relative I do however find that a large number of these themes are much more beautifull then the onces that are available for free.

I have included the prices that were on the sites at the moment of writing. Most of the themes were available with a single domain licence and a multi domain licence. But it divers per developer what a multi domain licence realy is. sme have a 5 domain restriction and have a developer licence for unlimited domains. I haven’t split it out that far so if you are interested in buying a theme look for the licence info.

So without futher introductions … the 234 premium themes I found. If you see any mistake, have additions, spelling error s in names etc let me know.
