I’ve been a little behind in answering emails lately, so sorry if any Mimbo questions have fallen through the cracks. For that reason, I decided to set up a forum so users of Mimbo can discuss customizations and make feature requests.

Matt Mullenweg announced two weeks ago that Wordpress would go forward with a Themes Marketplace where designers could sell their work and split the profits 50/50 with Automattic. But earlier this year, some designers had already begun selling “premium themes” themselves — WP templates with bonus features, plugins and otherwise above-average designs. Solostream was among the first to offer this kind of paid-theme product.

A belated thanks to Artur over at WP Themes Gallery for featuring this site in his ‘Top 40 Blogs About WordPress’ list — it’s cool to be featured among a lot of really excellent sites.

It’s with a near-crippling hangover (too many VaFilm festivities last night) that I announce the release of Mimbo v2.1. If you’re already familiar with v2.0, you will enjoy the new features…

One of the many reasons I prefer Netvibes to other feedreaders is the amount of options — headlines, summaries, tabs, thumbnails, widgets, and audio controls for podcasts. It’s a much richer experience that what we got in the early days of RSS, which was just a few headlines. Rich Ziade from Basement.org recently saw how Google Reader could detract from the visual experience…

I’ve been having some cool email discussions these past few months with folks who originally found the site through this article. We’ve been talking about the potential of Wordpress as a CMS and what can be done with projects like Mimbo. I’ll give some more background.
