www.ricklomas.com is the site of Rick Lomas. It’s based on WordPress with a Semiologic Theme. Here Rick demonstrates how a new site ranks #1 in Google in 4 days and makes a post with an image.
I’m not that shocked to see it for sale, as it seemed to have rapidly lost it’s momentum ever since the interview, a couple subsequent theme releases and it’s contest. I think if continued it could have made a much bigger impact on the theme community than it did.
Since the last time I saw it, Premium Mod seems to have restructured from a blog format to more of a business model, offering a premium theme customization service. As the owner of Custom Theme, I can tell you there is indeed a big market for customizations of existing themes.
Considering the love/hate relationship the WordPress community seems to have with Premium Mod, I’m not sure who would be the ideal buyer for this. Possibly an experienced theme modder who could use it for leads, although I can’t imagine anyone resurrecting the theme mod “movement” they seemed to originally push for.
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts in the comments.
