We’re very excited as our blockbuster theme — iThemes Builder — turns one-year-old this month. That’s right, last December we launched Builder to much buzz in our community and in WordPress.

To celebrate we’re doing a couple of things ….

  • iThemes Builder Birthday Blowout — starting next week, we’ll be doing a special blowout sale until Dec. 31, 2010 on Builder. (Details to come!)
  • Birthday Bash — we’re celebrating Builder’s birthday in style on Tuesday, Dec. 14 at 11 a.m. Central Time on iThemesTV … you’ll want to tune in as we giveaway some shirts and other goodies. We’re also releasing another child theme that day so you won’t want to miss the show! http://iThemes.tv

Look for some videos soon in this post as well as an announcement about the blowout sale next week.

In the meantime, we would love to know how iThemes Builder has helped you build great WP websites quickly.

Please leave a comment below about how you’ve used Builder, what you’ve been able to do and of course well wishes!

As you know we’re very proud of iThemes Builder and look forward to many more feature innovations and Builder themes!

AppChurchI got an e-mail from the crew at AppChurch.com the other day about their new app for the iPhone.

While WordPress has an iPhone plug-in for websites that use WP as a CMS platform, I think AppChurch would be an awesome tool if your church uses another CMS system.  Both Mars Hills and LifeChurch.tv have created and used this type of technology (I love both) with great success and I really feel it would be beneficial for you to check out for your church as well.  The AppChurch is a free download from the iTunes store though you do have to pay a monthly fee if you want your church logo, service times, map, events, and sermons to be included for your visitors to see … but at $7 per month for one website, I think this is a small investment if people visit your church because of it.
