Hello,
I have been working on putting together a “sobriety” blog/journal. I need to present a very “discussion friendly” atmosphere and right now, I am having trouble locating a theme that lists this as a feature. I have also contacted many wordpress theme stores and they will not offer ANY assistance at all. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks, Cooper

Hi,

I wish it was that simple, thats just such a hard question to answer. The best advice I could give you would be to read this article:

Ben,

What is the best way to get more twitter followers from your blog? What would be the best way to set your blog up for that?

Thanks,

Hey
No problem, I dont think you could combine them but maybe you should just use one of them. I’m not sure it depends on your theme try googling it or post it in the WooThemes forum.

Hey Ben,

Thanks for the pointers. Ive done all you said apart from combining the feedburner subscription box with my getresponse subscription box, i dont know how to do that?

Also under ‘Featured Posts’ i cant seem to get little photos to appear next to the summary of the post, any ideas?

Hi Aaron,
Sure I’d be happy to.

Firstly I really like your theme, looks great, and your logo is nice.

Here are some suggestions though:
1. Your home page should probably be posts not an about page.
2. For right now the Y.E.S ad that you have takes up a lot of unnecessary space since there is nothing to the left of it…
3. Add some more widgets to your footer.
4. Fix your feedburner widget, its a bit messy. Plus you have two email subscribe things, try to combine it into one.
5. Disable Disqus on pages.
6. Add a contact form instead of your email address on your contact page, there are many plugins for that.

Good luck!

Hey Ben,

Great on this blog. You really care and thats the key to winning in business.
