Ultimate Blogging Theme Purchase

I just purchased the “Ultimate Blogging Theme” by Carl Ocab for this blog site late last night. Carl has a video on the theme installation and I spent time watching the video and taking notes. Then I watched the video and performed the installation and setup, pausing the video until I got that step completed.

The installation went very well and I did not have any problems installing the theme. But, you have a lot more to do than just installing the theme! You have to add new categories (a list is included in the readme.txt file), setup your ad spots, and theme options. Then you have to install plug-ins and set them up.

Carl also provided a video on Search Engine Optimization (SEO), conversion tips and tricks, and the plug-ins that he uses. The readme file also has links to the not so common plug-ins that he mentions in his video. The theme is setup to use Feed Burner, so if you don’t have an account with Feed Burner then you will want to get one setup. I didn’t have an account setup at Feed Burner so I headed over to Feed Burner to set one up.

But I had problems getting my RSS feed to validate with Feed Burner. It seem that the RSS feed at jerryjansen.name/?feed=rss2 would fail because it was adding a lot of garbage at the end of the feed. I performed some Google searches to figure out how to correct the problem and finally found a work around. I could use jerryjansen.name/wp-rss.php and the RSS feed would validate just fine. So I was able to get my Feed Burner account and RSS feed setup for my blog site. Then I could finish setting up the theme options with my Feed Burner account information.

Next I continued with downloading the plug-ins that Carl had mentioned in his video and then installing, activating, and setting up any plug-in settings. I spent a couple of hours last night working on this new theme and then a couple of hours this morning.

So, what are my thoughts on the “Ultimate Blogging Theme“? I love it. Like I said, it took several hours to set it up but it was sure worth the time. I like how the ads are placed within the blog site and the ease of setting them up on the theme options page. If you have a blog and desire to make some money from it then it is a must that you purchase the “Ultimate Blogging Theme“. The theme also comes in six different theme colors and you can get a three color pack or the full six color pack. It is currently on sale at $67.00 for the three color pack which is $30.00 off the regular price of $97.00. The six color theme pack is also on sale for $97.00, again a $30.00 discount off the regular price. Don’t know how much longer the sale price will last so you better hurry up and grab your copy today. Click on the image above or here for more information.
