Struggling with health issues and jet lag, but Busy Bee is almost finished coding. Just need to make different styles for it.

Regarding the ads in Busy Bee, I’ve made it possible to drop in Adsense code in our options panel for the 468×60 ad spots

If you can push Busy Bee out by this weekend I’ll renew my 3 month membership to a 6 month membership when its due.

@Dias – Busy Bee & Veerle Pieters’ Abstract theme will definitely both be available before Christmas. Busy Bee could be available as early as this weekend and Abstract next week. And then we’re yet undecided about whether we’ll push out another theme before the new year.

@Joseph – Ad spaces are most definitely important, as our users need to earn a return on investment when they purchase our theme. Judging by Fresh News’ popularity, Busy Bee is definitely in the same mould and it’s great to get such good feedback about the theme before it’s even been released.

Busy Bee looks so sweet, it makes me wanna buy an audi.

Seriously, I noticed you spent some time thinking about the ad layout a little on this one. Designing around ads has become more important to your customers I would imagine. Maybe sometime you can comment on how you have seen this trend evolve over time.

How will be ads be handled on the back-end? Your own system or something like a UBD Block Ad plugin?

BTW, if you have any interest in online ads vs. design, there is a brand-new article on Smashing tonight about this very topic:

Hi Adii

Any tips about other possible themes that will be published before Christmas? I’m undecided btw single theme vs club.

@mkjones – I don’t think it’s a matter of us needing to make excuses… But I thought an update on the development of the new themes would be cool!

Lack of Twittering can, if anything, take away valuable work time!

There is nothing wrong with being ‘quiet’ and you shouldn’t feel the need to post excuses for being busy.

Magnus’ Busy Bee theme is absolutely perfect. I look forward to the day it is released. In fact I joined WooThemes for the Busy Bee theme but the other themes are great too!
