Editors Note - A new feature on Productivity Junkies – WordPress Wednesday. Gilbert Peralta of WPChemist.com will be sharing with us every Wednesday about how to optimize our web presence using wordpress.
June 18, 2010. Just another boring day in the web world? I think not!
Friday June 18th, 2010 was the release of WordPress 3.0, an upgrade from WordPress 2.9.2. It wasn’t a big deal to most WordPress users, but something amazing came with the release of WordPress “Thelonious”. (FYI WordPress names almost every theme after well known jazz musicians).
What comes as a standard default with WordPress 3.0 that is so amazing? It’s the new default theme “Twenty Ten” 1.0, which was authored by WordPress, so you know the coding is on point!
What makes this theme so exciting? To answer that, we have to look at the WordPress on June 17th, 2010 and prior. Thelonious’ predecessor, Carmen 2.9, and every theme before that didn’t come with a very impressive theme. Jane Wells, an employee of WordPress mentioned in a blog entry from late 2009, that the famous Kubric theme from 2005 was cutting edge at the time. Kubric was somewhat customizable and could look good for 2005 standards. She went on to mention that rapid advancing Internet and blogging standards of late 2009 had left Kubric as an inferior default theme. Version 2.9 did come with one other default theme to choose from; “Wordpress classic 1.5”, developed in 2006.
Like the Kubric theme, the WP 1.5 theme was also outdated and leaving WP users searching for code or themes to alter their blog.
That’s when June 18th, 2010 changed everything. “Twenty Ten” comes with a ton of features and options never seen before. All prior default themes required users to rely heavily on either third party design vendors or learn complicated programming code. The new alignment features made editing your blog or pages a lot easier also. “Twenty Ten”, while it will not create the most advanced looking or functional website on the Internet, it can help a beginner build something that feels more like a website from the year 2010.
The reason I like “Twenty Ten” so much is the cool back-end customizing module. It comes with 8 beautiful HD header nature photos to choose from. Of course you can easily upload your own header, which was never possible with any of the previous themes; you had to rely on coding. “Twenty Ten” has easy to customize background image and color options. It also comes with 2 built in sidebar widget areas and 4 footer widget areas; for easy customization.
The “Twenty Ten” probably won’t fill ALL of your website or customization needs without additional coding or child themes, but it’s a great start!

“Have I told you lately that you’re the greatest thing since sliced cheese? And that at least every other day Matt and I tell each other out loud about how grateful we are to have found you?
You’re a true blessing and are helping us like no other coach to make impactful changes within our business, at a pace that makes sense. And you ‘GET’ technology, too! Coach D, you’re a dream come true. “

"We closed 80 transactions in 2009, started coaching with Darin in 2010, and ended the year with 124 closed transactions." - Incorvaia Team
I wanted to start to build a team and with Darin's coaching I have added 2 full
time buyers agents and a virtual assistant. We are getting so organized
and now I am able to prospect for listings like I should have been doing
before.
Darin is a KICK ASS coach, motivator and a genius. Yes, he has a mind that is incredible.
I feel that Darin is vested in my success both personally and professionally. He is a dear friend and I am excited we are now partners.
- Lisa Archer
"Of the 20 years I've spent in real estate, I've never received the type of training and coaching that truly engages my clients in the way that creates results I was looking for. Darin's strategies are simple, powerful, inexpensive & most of all, productive beyond my expectations." - Stacey McVey
“Since coaching with Darin, I got refocused and reconnected to my sphere. In the last 40 days I have made $53,000. Just took two new listings and I’m having fun again in business.” – Kris Cantrell
"I have been working with Darin for 10 weeks now, I was looking for a way to take my business to another level going into my second full year of real estate. I closed 32 deals in 2011 and so far with the help, guidance and motivation I am on pace to double my transactions in 2012. The most exciting part about working with Darin is I am able to increase my production without adding hours to my week, Darin has taught me how to leverage my time and use it more efficiently. If you are serious about taking your real estate career to a new level, it is a MUST to start working with Darin Persinger as soon as you possibly can." - Ryan Shields
I am the owner of a very young company that was growing faster than I was ready for. I had a head FULL of wonderful ideas and I had a vision. I found myself not being able to accomplish many of my goals, due to the lack of focus. I was jumping from one project to another, while completing none of them. I WAS the shiny object chaser. Thanks to Darin, I don't see shiny objects any longer...I have my eye on the one thing that counts...what works for me and what is best for MY company.
I made the commitment to coaching the moment I knew I could trust Darin. I felt like I needed someone that had been in the trenches and continued to educate themselves. I found all of that in Darin. - Elizabeth Cooper-Golden
"Levels is working great! It's really helping me stay very organized and scheduled. I just listed a house today, I'm doing another listing presentation tomorrow, I did showings Sunday and last night. I should be listing another property this week and a possible offer on a property." - Sonia Lyonnais
"In only 8 weeks, I've increased my bottom line by 27%." - Jonathan Rivera aka Real-Tech Guy of Official Real Estate Referral Group
"When this program had started, I had only 4 deals closed for the entire year. Since starting in Levels, I have added 3 listings, wrote 7 offers and will have closed 3 deals." - Rich Ganim
