This weekend discussion is about methods of providing support to your customers, or as a customer how do you want to be supported? Live stream starts today (Monday) at 11:00am PST / 2:00pm EST. A year ago (about there), WooThemes, StudioPress and even Yoast managed questions and support via a discussion forum (WooThemes & StudioPress on their own sites, Yoast on WP). But recently, we've seen WooThemes & StudioPress shift to email-based tickets and Yoast announce the same. The upside is better ticket management. The downside is lower visibility, less community resource, lower interaction of users helping users. How do you support your customers? How much is public? How much is Private? What do you think about these shifts? Support? Disagree?

This week on WPwatercooler we are talking about what are some of the criteria to look for in picking a “business theme” for you next business related website. [LISTATTENDEES event_identifier=”picking-your-money-maker-theme-5-513d3902f2a5b” show_gravatar=”true”] Jason introduces the business theme topic. Chris calls out Steve for being skeptical about the topic. A few OC-ValleyGirl side comments ensue. Steve declares that every theme is a business theme, because every website has a purpose, depending on the business. Richard says there is a major difference between business themes and personal themes. He says personal themes are “blogs, people, comment, conversation”, whereas things like user comments may not be front and center, might focus on calls to action and focuses on making money rather than being a “rage face” site, that business websites focus more on being a CMS rather than a blog. Sé asks “how is that necessarily related to the theme rather than the content?” Richard agrees, but says you have to ha
