Today I finished my third template for ThemeForest.net. I have named it News 360 after being requested to be “inspired” by CNN.com. It was somewhat of a rush getting this template finished and was severely delayed due to IE 6 problems.
You can view version 1 here: http://jremick.com/templates/news360v1/ and version 2 here: http://jremick.com/templates/news360v2/
The template is somewhat “barebones” but it has a lot of potential for someone looking for that particular style layout. It has a lot of great features which can be viewed at it’s page at ThemeForest.
Anyway, without a pause, break or rest I am moving from one project to the next. Break?! Rest!? You don’t do that in a normal working day, you say? Ok, so most people work a 8am - 5pm job. I currently, however, am working from home. That means my day could start at 6am or it could start at 11am.
Lately, my days have been starting at around 7am, eating breakfast at my desk while working. I take the usual 1 hour lunch break eating at my desk and working while watching something at Hulu.com. Dinner is usually around 5 or 6pm in which I step away from my desk to spend some time with my girlfriend (1-2 hours).
Then I keep working until 10-11pm.
It won’t be for very long though! Sometimes when multitasking projects, it feels like nothing is getting done.
So, my next project amidst the rest of my currently ongoing projects is a website for a local company called Quality Chiropractic Center. When it is completed, I will have a fresh post online!

Nice job on the template, may be interested can’t find it on themeforest yet.
I’ve got a couple of templates on their now; but, I’ve moved to putting semi-transparent copyright symbols on the designs as I think the lower cost of themeforest will bring in the people that are willing to just take the design.
Thanks, it hasn’t been approved yet. It is still waiting in the queue (position 4 of 6) so it may be awhile.
I’ve thought about doing the same thing for my themes but haven’t gotten around to just getting it done. Although that would help deter people without much skill in the web area, someone who knows enough about what they’re doing could still easily get the theme files. Also, my two most recent themes use PHP, since the PHP is processed server side, someone looking to steal the site wouldn’t get those benefits.
Maybe I need to get familiarized with some better methods of theft prevention though?
I’m not worried about the people that have some web skills as they aren’t going to buy the template anyways. Sure it will suck if someone steals it; but, I think it would be to hard to combat that theft.
I’m just trying to stop the normal average user who knows something from seeing the live preview going File > Save as and taking the files without much work.
