I guess I should have explained myself a little better. Bangman had absolutely nothing to do with this or any of the other templates that we'll be releasing. I was just giving him props for being a good designer. This template was originally designed (completely by myself...I can send you the .PSD if you like) for one of my blogs, www.teeniesexkittens.com. At the time, I had no clue how to code a WP template, so I hired Sperminator to code it for me. When I got it back, it didn't work exactly as I wanted it to (not Spermy's fault, I didn't know how to explain to him exactly what I wanted), so I (along with Sperminator) reworked a whole lot of the code. The template went up on TSK a month and a half ago, and has been working excellently ever since.

Over the past couple of months, some of my mainstream clients have been asking me if I could make blog templates, so I have been spending numerous hours on the WP Codex learning how to code these things myself. A few days ago my partner and I started tearing apart the TSK template and reworking the code again, taking out things that didn't need to be there (caused from our first reworking, not Sperminators work) and adding in some things that we thought should be there. We also redid some of the graphics to make them bolder and brighter. The result is...Bloggie. Although the code has been almost entirely reworked, we did give credit to Spermy for his work on the original TSK template...mainly because we have great respect for his work and for the help that he gave us on getting the original template working the way we wanted it to. This guy can turn out a quality template in under 24 hours...which is something I'm not sure we could do.

I hope that clears up any confusion on the origin of Bloggie. We're not trying to step on any toes, we're just trying to give the webmasters out there more options when it comes to having a great looking blog. And keep you eyes peeled because we will be releasing new templates on a fairly regular basis, and offering "frequent buyer discounts" to those who purchase from us on a regular basis.

Thanks,
