It’s become rather amusing for me to find out just who is using my WordPress theme. Sometimes it’s not so flattering, other times it is. The other day I discovered that Jobtac, a job posting site for employers and job seekers alike, is using Simplixity for their blog. Thanks a lot, guys!

I submitted it to the WordPress Theme Directory, but am still waiting for a response as to whether or not [...]

Over the next few months I will be working on developing a WordPress theme. I am currently using one of my favorite themes from the WordPress theme directory, which I will be editing in hopes of becoming more familiar with PHP and WordPress in general. Keep posted to see where this all ends up.
