New Free WordPress Theme: Autumn Street

Embedded Flash Players Slow Down Your Blog

Michael Martine 3.0
Yep, I’m doing it again. I’ve decided to focus on WordPress theme development as a niche. You’ll see a change in post content, plus new free themes and more info on custom theme work. I’ve worn more blog hats than most, but you know, you keep going it until it fits right and looks right.
