    Thanks for the link, Chip. We purchased some themes from an outfit called Elegant Themes (again, my buddie’s idea) and it worked out fine. We only paid something like 90 bucks for about 80 themes, and, they’re very nice themes. Also, the developer will answer questions. This has been, as you said, craptastic. I asked a simple question – and made the mistake of simply observing that their documentation was poor/bizarre relative to the software – and this prima donna developer is just finished with us! I guess he’s the kinda guy that you don’t criticize, even if it’s a mild criticism.

    I’m a huge fan of FREE STUFF – there’s so much stuff available in the open source community that I really can’t see buying a lot of these sorts of things. I’ve got a friend – who I don’t see very often – that created a coupon site with a completely free plug-in (or some code he found, somehwere). I need to give him a ring. Anyway, I would avoid this Premium Press thing like the plague.

    Frankly, I was compeletely opposed to buying this thing. My buddy wanted to do it, and, I suspected it was a bad idea. I was aware of that fact that are some completely free plugins which do, essentially, the same thing. And, doing a search here (today) I found a couple of posts wich referred to this package – so I presumed I wasn’t “out of line” by asking. Finally, when he wouldn’t answer a simple, direct question this is where the developer pointed me…! When he told me to come here, I was baffled.

    I guess all I can say is this – again: Count on the open source community, and, run like hell from this outfit. I annoyed the guy, and now I’m invisible. And I didn’t say anything that was particularly confrontational – just pointed out the fact that their docs didn’t really address the issue of using their proprietary software. Argh.

    When he sent me a link to WordPress I was, like, “What…..?”. WOW – WHAT A SCAM!
