Fine Tuning Your WordPress Themes with Theme.fm

Hey there, long time no read eh? Well the reason to that is that I’ve been extremely busy with an exciting project, and today I’m glad to announce it, although it’s been launched last week.

Google Developer Day Moscow 2010, we all waited so long for it (one whole year actually) and it turned out to be… fascinating, as usual! Starting early morning we got some coffee (which I was late for)...
