Hi Justin – and first of all – thank you for your comment – I feel really honoured!
And, yes – the theme looks splendid – even my son (21-year old web developer – sic!) is speechless and does not advice me to change anything this time… So, it is me to say “thank you” to you.
As to money – do not feel bad that you charge for your work. For the first – price is really very small (it was affordable even before you introduced this amazing offer), for the second – as far as I understand Open Source – it is totally OK to charge for software and service (take a look at Red Hat and Mandriva, for example) as long as you keep the code available to the public – and you do it! People like me, who do not have knowledge to write the code themselves, have to pay for it. Come on – I am the teacher – I want bread for my teaching service, too
I hope that your community – or may I say ours…? – will grow and I hope that you will keep on creating those coding masterpieces. Best luck from a long-time Linux and Open Source user!

Thanks for joining the club.

For me, it’s never been about the money, but I also had to find a balance between theming and my regular life. So, putting a small price tag on things lets me get more work done and give back to the community. Plus, having a large community, helps keep things cheap.

I’m glad you decided to join. And, the theme looks good on your site (if you’ll allow me to boast a little).
