Jeff, I appreciate this post ... and also even caring enough to ask if everything is well at iThemes.

I have to admit .... business is a roller coaster ride and we're not immune to the ups and downs of building a business. But it's been great as I look back on almost two years at iThemes and beyond that with just WordPress and theme design personally.

It's definitely a challenge .... it seems like everyday a new "premium" theme is released -- for better or worse. We're taking the long view of things though and working hard to build a company that will be around for the long haul.

Cheers to WordPress for making it all possible!!!
