Copyblogger runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like Copyblogger, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

Hmmm… Does the fact that I am working harder on a Memorial Day than I do on the weekdays mean I should think about “slowing down”?
Fantastic posts Brian. Thanks!
Eric, I’m not sure. But I’m more amazed at how you’re working on Memorial Day. Have you traveled into the past, or the future? If you are indeed located at May of 2008, I have some questions for you.
That’s just Scoble needing to feel a little love. It was great that Rand and Muhammad could oblige.
Definitely a silly point he’s making. What he’s saying is that nobody cares about getting on Mahalo yet. As soon as it matters the SEOs will take control of it.
Oh boy - I meant to say Labor Day. It is still 2007, right?
Thanks for the link love Brian - it’s good to reconnect with you! And honest, I’m not working today - just sitting in front of the laptop for a few minutes to keep tabs on things. I need to slow down myself much of the time!
Thanks Brian for the link love. I’m taking it easy today on the blogging but really appreciate you linking to one of my posts.

Brian,
You are one of the few I’m noticing hard at work on this US holiday. Great to see things haven’t slowed down. Recent posts have been spectacular. Much appreciated!
Michael, I’m hard at work juggling two kids, but that’s about it.
Excellent link love. I’ve found a couple of new blogs out of this. Thanks again :).
