I’m Leaving WPDesigner for Good…

Small Potato

Created in May 2006, I started Wpdesigner.com to host my own free, crappy WordPress themes; themes that I thought had to exist to fill in a gap in the WordPress theme community. To this day, Wpdesigner.com exists for that same reason, to make crappy themes available to the WordPress community.

However, its creator (me) is exhausted and has lost all tastes for WordPress; I’m also tired of typing and reading the name WordPress. All the themes and all the tutorial lessons, I think I’ve given all I could give.

Thank You’s

  • Thank you to all the great spamesigners. You showed me that leaching on a public database of an open source software can be a profitable way to make a living.
  • Thank you to all the rip-off designers. I’ll never forget your motto… “As long as it’s legal… and even when it isn’t.”
  • Thank you to all bloggers that asked for theme support when they didn’t even have the decency to follow my license and link back to my site to credit me for the crappy theme that I didn’t rip off in order to spam the WordPress public database. I answered your questions anyway…

Now, I’m ready to move on… so thank you for the comments, support, and encouragements. Goodbye my fellow small potatoes.

What's Next?

Haha ha….April Fool!

Anyways if that is true (in which I don’t think it is)….You have some of the best WP themes out there. I kept your link as I always do to whatever themes i’m using.

Hope you continue as I came back here to download and yet another one of your themes and off course the links will be intact.

You do great works young man:)

Kate:

What??!! Are you serious?
I like your site, and I even bookmark it and you just leave?? Come on, with that high visitor statistic, you don’t just leave this web site.
Or is it April Mop things??

I agree with Jesse, You’ve done great jobs.

menj:

[…] E’ 1 aprile e Google come al solito si è divertito un pò con questi due april fool, come anche il simpatico pesce d’aprile di wp-designer. Google tips Google paper wp-designer […]

AL:

Damn man every freakin feed post I’ve read in my feed inbox today (including this one, which is quite extreme i guess) had this april fool nonsense in it. It gets tiring and old after a while. And they all hide these snerky remarks somewhere in the post so that you “know” it’s a joke. Worst thing is, some aren’t even that funny. Oh well, thank god it’s only 1 day!

Andiz:

A bit predictable…..April Fool’s day….. ;)

Brian:

Wow. Thank god. I’m so tired of viewing the posts on this site anyway. I guess you’ll be selling this domain then. I’m perfectly willing to buy it from you if you’d like?

Kim:

I hope it is an april fool’s day joke- because I would miss your site terribly!

Adii:

Yip, me thinks this is April Fools Day joke too…

waterbird:

Your themes is very good.My blog is used the theme.And I am doing my blog.I want you can help me but my english is not good.I can not say what I want by English.Chinese words in My blog is higher than English or 123.example,archives “2007å¹´3月(3)”.the “å¹´” and “月” and “(3)” are higher than “2007″ and “月”,why?Can you tell me? thanks!

waterbird:

oh! The same things is in your blog.Do you find my reply to you blog .there the Chinese “å¹´” is higher than other numbers and English letters.

Adii:

I think this whole situation will play out quite interestingly. April Fool’s Day has been curious thus far, with John Chow (http://www.johnchow.com) also announcing that he is leaving his blog…Wondering who’s the copycat here?

Dean:

You’re a jerk, SP. ;) jk!

Adii:

I’ve gotta say I called it! :) “Welcome back SP!”

Ankit:

waterbird:

Small Potato:

Scot Smith:

You can’t fool us :p

Scot

waterbird:

Small Potato, I mean on my Blog Chinese characters is NOT on the same LEVEL LINE with the Numbers or English letters.

this is my blog: http://www.fourp.cn/

Please look the right sidebar about the archives,you will find that the “å¹´”and”月 ” is NOT on the same LEVEL LINE with the “2007″ and “4″ or “3″ or “(2)”.

I don’t know why.

almost every one caught you :P

Ernie:

I can’t belive how many went for it.

Jesse:

I think I ruined it….I din’t realized that I was the first to respond and blankly said that it was an April Fool joke. I should have kept it shut and waited for others to respond. I think alot more would not realize it was April 1st and would have believed it…..Sorry ’bout that, you may now ban my ip as punishment. lol

Small Potato:

Yes, yes you did hahaha.

May C:

Just when I thought I went through all the April Fools jokes and stuff, argh!

Got me, I admit. Glad to hear it was just an April Fools Joke because there’s nothing worse than feeling horrible and exhausted from your passion and giving up. I hate hearing about it.

Marshall Middle:

I was fooled by Geekwhat, so I wasn’t fooled here, plus it’s already April 5th

Runa:

That’s really a pity. You designed very beautiful themes. I hope you’ll change your mind.
