The $5 theme club giveaway!

For the Wordpress users in my audience, I have an interesting giveaway today. Small Potatoes is a great theme designer who recently started a paid theme club. Over the next year, he will release at least one new theme a month to club members. His themes are good. Really good – both in design and coding.

The best part? The theme club is only FIVE BUCKS.

Even better?

There’s a giveaway contest! But hold your clicks, you don’t have to go anywhere – I have FIFTY – that’s right, 50 – free memberships to give away. Leave me a comment saying how much you love new themes, and I’ll send you the details. Isn’t this awesome? Tell all your friends and link to me if you can to help get to word out.

And if he ever gets to this end of Canada, SP is already invited to stop in so I can feed him. Poor boy is too skinny, working so hard.

Note: if your blog is hosted at Wordpress.COM, you can’t upload your own themes there. not even with a paid upgrade. You need a self-hosted version of Wordpress to install more themes.

    I DO love Small Potatoes. I really liked the swirly (looks like lollipops) theme he has! I thought his $5 theme club was a great idea and even had it noted in my scribbles. So often when I’m looking for themes I’ll end up with club/professional themes which mean $$$. (Though I suppose that could mean I have a great eye for style? design? – or perhaps I’ve a healthy appreciation for others hardwork! LOLOL)

    Pick me! Pick me! My resident computer geek has too many things to do and I would love a new theme. Or two.

  3. Dreama says:

    Meep! I love themes! You know this. I’d make my own but I’ve forgotten how to CSS. (Fail! Epic fail!) Themes! Yay!

  4. Jaynee says:

    I’m always on the lookout for great new themes and switch them out about once every 3-4 months on my main blog. I have three other WP sites that get changed less often, but are all due for a change. I have that theme club bookmarked because it definitely sounded interesting.

  5. ehme says:

    oh how I love Small Potatoes. I use his Greed theme for my website, because it is the only free theme I have found that allows me to use my own image, doesn’t go all wonky when I make changes, and actually looks good! I would love to spend money to have someone actually make my site more user friendly, but I don’t have any money! So sign me up please and thank you!

  6. Me me! I love new themes! I’m kind of a theme windowshopping junkie, as a matter of fact… (I’m linking to this giveaway in my next Linksational post, and I’ve added it to the sidebar at Momsational too :)

  7. I love WP themes and I’ve been itching to learn more about creating my own. Small Potatoes does good work and I would love the chance to learn from his work!

  8. Andrea says:

    Oh, I should probably note that anyone blogging on homeschooljournal will get the theme too, because I can install them there. :D

  9. Chef says:

    As a new blogger, I am always looking for themes as they help me refine what I like and don’t like.

  10. EmJay says:

    I’m just starting out with my own Wordpress blog this will be a great help. THANK YOU!!!!!

  11. Renae says:

    New themes are like new furniture for my house. $5 to redecorate is a great deal, but free is even better!

  12. daring one says:

    Ooo. I am a theme lover, especially quality themes. It’s time for me to do a site redesign anyway. I’d love a membership.

  13. witchypoo says:

    thank you so much.

  14. Marillyn says:

    I think I’m pretty much addicted to new themes, so yeah, would LOVE this.

  15. Aimee says:

    I have been contemplating a move to wordpress over the last week and this would probably do it for me! I am so tired of typepad. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Wordpress and the theme possibilities. If I am picked, I’d put to good use that free theme! :)

  16. RG in ID says:

    Small Potatoes. I LIVE in the land of potatoes. I even used to harvest potatoes. It was meant to be.

  17. Previous says:

    Love SP’s work. I am new to wordpress and am still looking for the theme of my dreams. I switch twice a week. Thanks for the offer.

  23. AmyL says:

    Wow, free themes! What’s not to love? :)

  24. Tina says:

    I’d LOVE a new theme and if it’s free maybe my hubby would be more willing to change it for me! ;-)

  25. Suzi says:

    I like new themes, especially good themes, especially free good themes. So… you can pass them on to me. I will be updating soon since I am on the job market and right now my pic is a little risque, but I’m not sure what I would go with instead. But I need something.

    So, not to beg or anything, pick me, pick me, please.

  26. dee says:

    I do love his themes and have actually been considering joining the theme club. I have several WordPress sites and would love some good themes to use. Free makes it even more interesting!

  27. Doc says:

    I could be addicted to themes. You know I’m new at this.

    I host my own site so that requirement is met.

    I’d be good for publicity.

    I’ve had a really awful day and I need something nice to happen.

  28. Rebecca says:

    I’m actually a fan of the wp-designer8 theme, For a text heavy blog with an ever ample sidebar something where the sidebar does extended is fantastic. The header image is also a win (the outcry when I got rid of mine wasn’t super pleasant). I like updating themes, and would do so maybe twice a year and probably more if I found a quality themes worth adapting to suit my blog. Structural design is so important when you start digging in the backend, plenty of disappointment for my amateur coding knowledge when I get back there and find a huge mess.

    I’d like one! :) well coded templates are the best….

  29. Shannon says:
