Comments on: WordPress Site Review – Frugal Kiwi http://webdesignworkplace.com/481/wordpress-site-review-frugal-kiwi/ Just another WordPress site Wed, 02 Feb 2011 10:01:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: admin http://webdesignworkplace.com/481/wordpress-site-review-frugal-kiwi/#comment-49 admin Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:28:16 +0000 http://webdesignworkplace.com/?p=481#comment-49 I want to thank everyone for leaving great comments about <a href="http://frugalkiwi.co.nz" rel="nofollow">New Zealand Web Designer</a> Melanie McMinn's fabulous Frugal Kiwi blog. We just had our WordPress WordCamp NYC 2009 event here in NYC and there were 50 sessions over 2 days. A couple friends of mine presented. I would have presented this blog as the best example of a Thesis Themed WordPress blog that I have ever seen... and until next year's WordCamp NYC, I will use this one as the champ to judge all other Thesis Themes by that I find in the wild. I'll also be purchasing the developer license for Thesis. OK Cheers everyone - have a great week !! BTW stop by any time as I give do follow comments to my friends.

I guess I'd better familiarize myself with Thesis. It seems to allow all of the things I want my site to do. I love Melanie’s site. I guess I’d better familiarize myself with Thesis.

I love the look of the Kiwi website! But the content! Informative and fun with lots of green ideas, great recipes and just the right amount of humor! And Alexandra...shame on you wishing her vacay over! I know what you mean though...I miss them too. Just think what a wonderful adventure she will be sharing with us though! I agree! I love the look of the Kiwi website!

The site itself "glows" with energy, and while I usually prefer my blog sites very plain, this shows how you can be whimsical and artistic without getting over fussy and silly. Congrats Frugal Kiwi.

I find the lay-out to be really eye-catching -- and the visuals make me want to read the words. So, thanks for reviewing it here! I hope readers will also take a look at the site -- not only is Melanie helping people save money but she's also lessening our negative impact on the environment with all of her good ideas!

I love the little bird at the top and the colors Melanie used are so cheerful. It fits nicely with the type of writing she does, spritely and to the point. Yes, I'm a fan. I admit it. Can't wait for her vacation to be over so she will post more often and have more time for the blog.
