In episode 7, I interview Tommy from Buzzdroid as I try to figure out the inspiration behind the Shifter WordPress theme. We then dive into the news of the week which stems from WordPress.com experiencing a DoS attack to a topic of WordPress upgrading being more of a fuss, than a must. Near the end of the show, we begin our WordPress theme round table and then conclude with our tips of the week.

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I am a hard core fan :-P of WordPress and of course, the build up to WordPress 2.5 kept me excited.
Happy blogging!
I plan on calling in this time. I think it would be cool to ask the Shifter Theme guy some questions.
Is there a download?
@Sean No, not yet. The show has yet to be conducted. The show starts at 9PM EST tonight, 1 hour after the show is finished recording is when the download will become available. I merely post this info to serve as show notes for any panelists that will be part of the show so they can get an idea as to what will be discussed.
Jeffro! I am so sorry. I came home early from a party to do the show only to find my internet connection was completely unfixable (i almost managed to skype in but it failed and I didn’t want to distract the show with my flaky connection). Hope everything went well. Can’t wait to listen to the recording.
No worries Jeremy. We had a full house last night and we really went crazy with the topic of themes. The show is again, long in the tooth but I hope the discussion turns out to be worthy of listening to. This show would be hours longer if we included the AFTER show :P
Ok, panel members, show notes and the widget have been added to the post, it is now complete. This will be the last time I do a show on no sleep :)
