Site News And Updates

I have been in computer tech and design all my life and have just always did web design as a side project. Last November when me and my girlfriend move to a new state we went from a large city to a rather small one caution light town is GA. Shortly after moving here I realized that my computer skills would be useless and decided to try to start my web design as my main attraction since I can do it mostly online. After a few months of not being able to get a job in such a small town and with no large towns nearby I started to work harder on my web design work and moved on to Wordpress. I still make no where near enough to support me or my family but its a start, and not a bad one.
Over the last 2 months the traffic on Jerico Systems has went up by over 2000% Our Alexa rank has also dropped below the million mark to currently 914,161 which may not seem great but considering what I do here and with no advertising I don’t think its that bad. We have only been offering themes here for just a little over a month so the fact that we have gained so much is very impressive.

I would like to thank Jason Schuller over at WP Elements for his advice and friendship, and I would also like to send thanks to PJ over at Wp-Premiums for her help and advice. The Wordpress community is growing every day and its nice to know people that still are down to earth and helpful.

Since I started the forums on this site there hasn’t been many complaints or problems with the themes reported which I’m taking as a good sign. No major bugs or flaws been reported so thats always good. Im trying to make these themes simple so anyone can use them and modify theme easily. If you have any questions or need help please feel free to use the forums.

I might be starting on a new look for Jerico Systems as I been using this one since Jason released the Charred theme back in April. I got a few emails asking me why if I make Wordpress themes don’t I make my own for Jerico. The fact is I love this Charred theme and even though I have had a few ideas to modify it I really don’t want to mess with it because from the box its just simply a perfect theme.

Since I am new in the Wordpress community I know I have been an annoyance with my constant questions and analyzing but thanks to the people that have been there to answer them and send me in the right direction.

P.S if anyone is interested in trading some ad space just send me an email. I don’t have the money to pay at the moment but would be more than happy to trade some space with you. I know my traffic isn’t tip top yet but it is a rising and at a good rate.

    What about VastHTML.Com? I was there the other day and you guys have been doing a lot of work to it updating it.

    At the time I didn’t know if I wanted Jerico or Vast to be my main site for design and Wp themes. After looking at the stats over the last few months and with Jerico doing well I will be spending most of my time with Jerico. I cant just leave Vast HTML alone or delete it since its in all the phone books around here that would just be a waste of business, and money. I haven’t though a lot about the future of Vast HTML the last few days but as for now it will be here for a bit longer, least till my contract with yellow pages runs out. I may sell it I have no clue yet.
