    I have weblogtolscollection’s rss feed on my rssowl program. I love the plugging and theme updates, funny thing is that the last 20 pluggins I have uploaded to my main site came from weblogtolscollection.

    If you want a human translator for spanish then I am offering myself, Spanish is one of my mother tongues thus why I am better than any translator that uses a website or program. You can’t take the humanity out of translations. You have my e-mail as I filled it when I typed this comment.

    I hope you will still write all this year and even longer, because I like your blog, it’s very good source about WordPress for everyone.

    Congrats and happy New year. Sre?na Nova godina! I hope the next step will be a redesign, as with all the widgets on the side, the site just doesn’t look pretty anymore.

      Oh, and UTF-8 support. I can’t type a common letter.

    • Mark Ghosh (386 comments.) says:

      With the reduced revenue, a planned redesign has been abandoned for now. We are hoping that we will be able to plan another one in the future. Thanks for being such a caring user.

    “We will also not link to any work from Premium Theme and Plugin authors that do not release their themes and/or plugins under a GPL or compatible license.”

    All their themes / plugins? Or just the themes / plugins that you link to? So if someone releases a GPL theme AND has none GPL work on their site, what is your stance then?

    Sorry to ask, but you may want to make this as clear as possible at the outset to avoid problems later.

    • Mark Ghosh (386 comments.) says:

      We would like to reserve the judgment for each instance but in general, our goal is to not link to individuals that switch between licensing schemes which are not GPL compatible. This can be taken very far and we will be careful to let our opinions affect our ability to report news. If there is any confusion or suggestions, please feel free to email me or contact us through the link above.

      • Barry (33 comments.) says:

        “We would like to reserve the judgment for each instance”
        That’s the problem though isn’t it? Unless you are absolutely clear about your rules from the outset, you are going to get people not bothering to contact you AND people crying foul when someone who, in their opinion, isn’t playing by THEIR interpretation of YOUR rules (or lack of them).

        I’d hate to see this bandwagon jump affect the future of such a great resource.

        • Mark Ghosh (386 comments.) says:

          No, that is not the problem and we should not make it a problem. Our policy to leave room for error is designed to tackle various types of issues that can arise from a linking policy. The rules are absolutely clear. There should be no doubt that our policy is to not offer advertising or linkage to Premium Theme and Plugin authors who do not offer their sales under a GPL or compatible license.

          However, nothing is ever in black and white and if we try to paint everything with a wide brush, we could make mistakes that could be avoided with some tact. We simply cannot say that we will never link to any blog that has premium themes or never link to a resource that advertises Premium Themes because we cannot be expected to read through every post or every theme on every blog that we link to just as much as we cannot be limited by the resource or means that sends news to us. We follow a similar policy on Sponsored Themes and beside a few human errors, we have not had a large number of issues.

          I will say that we will make a reasonable effort to not link to any work from Premium Theme and Plugin authors who do not release their themes and/or plugins under a GPL or compatible license.

    I think WordPress is going a bit too far with this premium theme issue.

    Without all of the popular themes, wordpress would never have been this popular. Look at Drupal… It’s a great script but missing some great themes and plugins.

    WordPress can passively discourage premium themes but it seems like they have some “HATRED” against designers who are trying to make a living. Not every business model can be supported by open source. WordPress might have succeeded but it’s not easy for everybody else. For one success, there might be 1,000 failures.

    Give premium designers a break. Just try to be a bit looser. Maybe just be a little bit more laidback. This is going too far.

    Subho Nobo Borsho :)

    Totally agree to what Mike Lau said above, i think instead of going against premium wordpress theme designers; wordpress should look at introducing better free themes themselves . the ones that are there are not upto that standard.

    • Iva (8 comments.) says:

      This is so true, 95% of promoted free themes have design that’s basically ridiculous for this period of time, they look boring and tasteless. Then again, it could be that my eyes are a bit too sensitive.

  20. teddY (4 comments.) says:

    I do not know of others sentiments about the premium WordPress themes but then again since it’s their blog, they have the right to decide who to link or not. They’re not actively promoting the boycott of premium WP themes but are encouraging designers to release their themes under GPL – and the designers are still the ones who will finally decide what license that will be applicable to their themes.

    Calling this hatred against premium themes is a little too much, but one compromise will be linking premium themes under a specific category that segregates them from the free themes available out there.

    Happy new year, anyway! (And it’s a little late *weak smiles*)

    • Barry (33 comments.) says:

      @teddY: I agree, and a if a designer wants to be included in the extend themes directory then the theme should be GPL.

      But, if a theme is GPL is rejected for inclusion in the directory because the authors site *which is linked to in the footer* has adverts for non-gpl themes. Then that is going a bit far dont you think…

    I’ve been following WeblogTools.com for the past couple of years, and I must say you’ve come a long way, in terms of useful content, recommendations as well as readership.
