Matt from Automattic the creator of WordPress blogging platform made an announcement at the WordCamp Argentina that WordPress will soon have a Themes marketplace to sell premium WordPress themes, how sweet.
Let’s backtrack a couple of month’s ago and see what Matt says about sponsored themes, quote from BlogHerald
All of this is after Matt Mullenweg used the defense, during the whole Sponsored themes fiasco, that it would be unfair for theme creators to make money from their work when plugin authors don’t get to.
You can read more about the thoughts from David Peralty. He has a wonderful post deciphering everything about this announcement. That post made me write this one as I was equally annoyed as he was but their commenting system broke so I thought to express my thoughts here.

Its end of October and time for another round of statistics as to how this site did in the last one month. I would also like to thank you all for being a part of Techie Buzz and help it grow bigger.
There is not much to brag about with traffic but it has been pretty stable along the lines of last month with a 1.8% increase from last month. Traffic has consistently stayed above the 1000 mark but I am happy with it as 2 months ago I had less than half the traffic I currently have.

Here is another reader query that I would like to answer to all my readers. Ken Savage asked this question about what script I use to get the tabs in the sidebar?
The actual reason I started using tabs was because since I changed to using a two column theme I wanted to get a lot of information in the sidebar but it could not be done in a normal way as that would lead to a very long page which would leave the main content area empty beyond a point.
My idea was to get a more compact look to the site which fitted in as much information as possible in as little space I could use, that is the reason I started using tabs.
Lets see how exactly you can add tabs to your own web site.

Tomorrow is Halloween here in the US and it is celebrated on a huge scale on the 31st of October. People celebrate Halloween with costume parties, where they dress up in all sorts of costumes depicting ghosts, vampires, witches or some sort of famous personalities.
Halloween also kicks off the season for celebrations with big festivals like Thanks Giving Day, Christmas and New Year.
Here is a definition of Halloween from Wikipedia
Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, Halloween festivals, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and viewing horror films. Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain, celebrated among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is now celebrated in several parts of the western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.
