The WooThemes Blog

WOW! October ended on such a high for us and we’re super-grateful to everyone that supported us throughout the month; whether it be in tweeting #woobs, sharing our breast cancer campaign link with friends, or buying some of our themes during our end-of-month 4-for-1 special.

In the end though, this wasn’t about us, our celebrations, or our unique marketing campaign. Nope, it was all about raising money for a worthy charity in the aid of global breast cancer awareness.

So it’s with pride today that we get to announce that our selected charity – Breast Buddies – will soon be receiving a cheque for a whopping $5330.00 USD. We’re hoping to meet up with them soon and will post some pictures when we do.

In the meantime, please accept a sincere thanks from our side in making this a wonderful & successful campaign. We’d also like to make special mention of Brian Gardner who helped with & sponsored the #woobs giveaway. Hoping we can count on all of your support again in future!

Last week we previewed F01.01 by Veerle Pieters (which is coming along nicely btw) and today we’ve got a new design by another female design supremo – Sarah Parmenter. And obviously we don’t need to tell you that both of these are in support of the We Love Boobs campaign we’re running in October.

If you haven’t seen it yet, then you’re not following us, are you?

Anyway… We’re all about the design, the WordPress goodness and the themes; so we’ll get to it already. We gave Sarah a very clear & simple brief (that’s what we’d like to believe okay) about her design for WooThemes: “Design a girly / alternative version of our Antisocial theme to support our Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.”

The end result? Royalle…

Last week saw us launching the #WOOBS Campaign in aid of the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign we are running in October. Since the giveaway is ending this Wednesday, we thought we’d do a bit of a recap of the best #woobs tweets thus far in the hope that even more of you will be supporting this very worthy cause this month.

So if you’re keen to possibly win almost $2000 USD in prizes and you’d like to do a great thing (in supporting breast cancer awareness), then you should seriously consider publishing your #woobs tweets before Wednesday… Here’s some of the funniest tweets thus far…

Things are starting to heat up over here and the hotness can partly be attributed to our We Love Boobs campaign. In fact, things are getting so hot right now, that even our so-called “competitors” want to join in on the fun.

This may come as a surprise to many of you, but when it comes to competition within the WP community, all of the competitors (in the corporate sense of the word) are very friendly with each other. And as evidence of that awesomeness, Brian Gardner (founder of StudioPress) contacted us with a great idea in support of our We Love Boobs campaign. So here’s the down-low:

The new theme teasers are coming thick and fast these days; and a WooWeek just wouldn’t be a WooWeek without us posting new teasers, would it? Today’s teaser however has a little more significance…

When we first decided that we wanted to support International Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we approached Veerle Pieters (who we had previously worked with on Abstract) to design a theme that would not only celebrate women, but also support our own awareness campaign during October. And so F01.01 has been born…

We’re starting October with a bang and you’ll see the themes that we release this month will have even more of a wow factor. So we hope you are all ready?

Since October is the international breast cancer awareness month, we’ve decided to pinkify WooThemes a little in the aid of creating more awareness around this terrible disease. You can find all the information about our promotional campaign over here.

This is only the start of the campaign and we’ve got a few things planned throughout the month to really make it a fun, interactive, but ultimately a worthy experience for all involved. So we hope we can count on your support to make it a truly smashing month?
