   Hi all didn't see an official introductory thread so I'm starting my own.
   Thanks to Justin for ThemeHybrid, which I've yet to install by the way.
   Hoping all goes well so I don't come to the forums sniveling, whining and otherwise kvetching, lol.

   Thinking to begin with a child theme of Hybrid News.
   Maybe toss in a BBPress install, or throw it out to MUWordpress

   In a premium thread discussion I noticed some hybrid news discussion and a couple gems a child theme malleable and http://american-idol-updates.com/ (a closet idol fan here).

   I've been lucky enough to be a professional web designer for some 10 years, playing on the computer. Wordpress dev could open the door to bigger and better things that's for sure.

   I'm a total forum addict with thousands of total posts if you combine, stylegala.com, expressionengine.com and various disc golf (frisbee golf) sites.
   Always trying to contribute to the community, maybe I should run for Mayor!
   Anyways enough blathering, peace out for now!

   The professional membership looks like a good value, hard to say what all I'm missing as a freebie sign-on?

   I do recommend to become a premium member as it give you access to nearly instant support. It's very helpful, especially if you're developing a theme for a client, and you're stuck at some point.
   I signed up straight away for premium, as it's only 25$ a year - that's a no-brainer.

   Hey Paul solid recommendations across the board. If I had to choose between DigWP the book and ThemeHybrid premo' membership I might choose the latter :)
   Not doing any client work at the moment, not in WP, soon maybe.

   there is a great screencast series at blog.themeforest.net, called WordPress for designers. It will teach you all you need to know about designing for WordPress.

   Thanks, had to drop in a link to the motherload of tutorial videos for themeforest at http://nettuts.blip.tv/ Plan on subscribing via iTunes to keep up with all the good tut's screencasts. Wordpress for Designers looks to be a great beginner resource for me.
