My 500th Post - FREE Wordpress Custom Theme for 5 Warriors - 1 Theme left to go!

[SusanneUK]

This is my 500th post to the Warrior Forum and I just wanted to say firstly how thankful I am to the countless warriors who have helped me since I joined whether they knew it or not. You are an exceptional bunch of people and I am extremely proud to be a member of your community.

So in keeping with Warrior Tradition I would like to give something back as part of my 500th post and sorry if this post is a bit long but that is normal for me, so let's say that's "Traditional Sue" shall we

Here we go, for the first 5 members to respond in this thread (got to be in the thread, not pm) I will make you your own custom Wordpress Theme.

Here is just one example of some of my work:
Hairotic: About Hairotic Hairdressers of Ammanford

How this will work..

You can come on the thread and celebrate this great forum with me and/or you can post to the thread letting me know you would like a theme.

I will then work with the first five warriors to respond telling me you want a theme. I have a few commitments over the next few weeks but I am pretty sure I can fit in at least one per week (probably more but lets err on the side of caution here LOL).

I will work with you in the order that you post and I will pm you to let you know if you are in the "five" and to set things up.

One very tiny catch.. yep there is one.. I will most likely want to feature a snap shot of the site using the theme in my portfolio. That's it, no other catch. Of course if you are very happy with your theme and ONLY if you feel like it, you can do me a testimonial but let me stress here, it is NOT required.

Once again, thanks for all the help.. right finishing now before I go getting all mushy on ya..

Sue

[Daniel Adams]

Congrats on 500! I'll take you up on that.

[Dan C. Rinnert]

Does the theme have to be for myself? I'd love to run a contest on my blog where the winner would get a custom theme. If you'd be open to that, I'll take one, er, I'll take one on behalf of the future winner, that is.

[SusanneUK]

Holly whatsits, you are fast LOL

Thanks for the congrats and ok you are first!! I will pm you later Daniel.

Thanks
Sue

[Lindsay Brynn]

Congrats on post 500! I know I'll get there eventually

I design my own blogs too so I know how much work goes into the custom headers and layouts - Sue is offering a great deal here!

So you are second.

Hello SusanneUK. Congratulations on #500! I was just thinking that I need to get a good custom theme built for one of my websites.

I have seen your work in the websites for sale. They look great. I would like for you to do one for me if they are not already spoken for.

[4by8air]

Congratulations on your 500 post. I am working my way up there, but it will take some time.

Thanks so much Lindsay and yes I bet you will get to 500 before too long.

So that's it for the moment folks unless anyone else wants to join me again in saying what this forum has meant to them?

I didn't expect this offer to go so fast! perhaps I should have said more.. oh well..

Cheers
Sue

[lharding]

Congrats on the 500 posts Sue!

I'm too late for your kind offer, but I just wanted to congratulate you anyhow.

I tried to check out your site, but I get the error "Error establishing a database connection".

Good luck!

Thanks Korey, nice of you to say. However, two things, I have not got anything on the Websites for sale unless I am going totally senile and don't remember doing it.. possible LOL

The other thing is that I am sorry, all five spots have now been taken.

Thanks again
Sue

Well thank you very much for the kind congrats!

You had me worried there with the error report, I just tried from the link in the original post and it worked ok for me, that is a site I did for a local client of mine, so I hope it works for others as well, is anyone else getting that error? This is the link again..

Hairotic: About Hairotic Hairdressers of Ammanford

If someone could let me know that would be good, can't have a client site going down now can we.

I will pm you my portfolio link so you can check it out there amongst the others.

Thanks
Sue

Your right. Sorry I looked and sure enough it was someone else.

[lharding]

It's OK now. Who knows, maybe max'd out the database connections for a while there.

Very nice site!!!!

[LifeSystem]

For my first post I wanted to congratulate you on your 500th. But not fast enough to get in there to be part of the five. Do you use any tools to do your custom wordpress themes?

[kenj]

Hi Sue

You deserve all the accolades you get. You are always positive and upbeat and really contribute to this forum.

I do not want a free theme. Now I know you do themes I will keep you in mind next time I need one

Are you still a Donny Osmond fan?

Well I am honoured to get your first post, thanks.

And yes I do use some tools, depends on the needs of the site the theme is for

Thanks

Hi Ken and thanks so much, such a nice thing to say

You know I have a wee soft spot for you Ken because you live in my Birth Town (for others reading this, I now live in Wales but I was born in Bracknell).

And yes I am still a D Fan but have not had any time for him in the last two years or so but I hear he is doing ok without me LOL

Look forward to working with you one day then when you need a theme

Thanks again,
Sue

Well thanks and I certainly wish you luck and at the same time, hope you are joking, 500 posts in a week is errr a lot shall we say, hope they won't all be one liners..

Thanks again

[homebasedmom]

Congratulations on your 500th post, I am still on the long way to get there, but eventually I will get there. Again congratulations and more post to go for you.

[engr.adeel]

I am too late to take benefit from your special offer at your 500th post. But I visit your website; it is so simple and attractive. You feel great when you post 500th post.

[SusanneUK]

Thanks very much "homebasedmom" and "engr.adeel"

I am afraid you are too late, sorry about that.

Thanks again
Sue

[Klogg209]

[Daniel Adams]

Sue,
I just wanted to publicly say how much you rock!

I just got my new theme and its absolutely stunning. You will see my site in my sig as soon as it's ready.

[Free PLR]

Hi Sue

Nice to see someone giving back, even though I was too late myself.

500 posts is some doing. Did you do most of them in the last 6 months or were they spread somewhat evenly over the whole time you have been a member since May last year?

[SusanneUK]

Some days I can be a fairly prolific poster LOL

I would say they would have been spread more evenly and in fact would have been therefore more by this point in time. As you say, I joined May last year and started posting a little in the beginning but in December of last year (6th) my Mum was taken suddenly ill and she died on the 17th Dec which really did hit me hard and I stopped any kind of work for a good few months, I think I started slowly back online in around March of this year.

So it would have been more knowing me if I had not had that time off - however, I will say this also, I didn't have a plan of posting or post counts, I just posted when I wanted to ask for advise and later when I thought I could help someone, just because, no other reason, so I wouldn't concern yourself about how long it takes to get to X amounts of posts, just post when you need or want to and add value whenever you can, if you have nothing really of value to add, just use the thanks button, you will find if you don't worry about your post count then it will seem to build faster LOL

Thanks
Sue

Thanks

I have now finished all the themes (apart from "Dan C. Rinnert" who is running a competition for his one and so is not ready for me to make it).

I did answer your pm on the 21st July and have not received the email I asked you to send in that pm and my original pm to all the winners.

I would like to make a start on yours now but cannot do so without the information I asked for, so can you please check your pm's and send me an email.

I will give it another few days but if I don't hear something soon I will re-open this to another person, thanks.

Sue

[SusanneUK]

Still heard nothing from Vijay on this, however, I have a lot on tomorrow so I will give it until Monday and then if I have still not heard from him I will throw this open to another person for a freebie WP theme.

Sue

[SusanneUK]

I was going to re-open this to another warrior yesterday if I had not heard from Vijay, as it happens due to family issues I was not able to be online yesterday.

I still have not heard anything from Vijay so I would like to re-open this to one more warrior, please see first post for more details.

Please post here and the next person to post who would like a theme gets the last spot.

Thanks
Sue

[Dan Riffle]

Hi, Sue. I'd be interested. Send me a pm and we'll discuss.

Thanks,

Dan

[JodyRossDeane]

ooooohhhhh this sounds too good to be true, I just found our thread in my search for a wordpress theme for the new domain I just bought. Laugh out loud!
It would be fantastic if you could stretch to me too!
Thanks
