I release my free themes on here and I assume most by now have seen my stuff what I don't get is why people are so against sponsored links- the bottom line is everyone has got to eat and while most people want a free theme with JUST THE DESIGNER LINK the fact of the matter is giving away free themes doesn't feed my kids. Each design I spend quite a few hours doing and I hear I release pretty okay stuff, but as a single mom with 2 kids- I can say I would get a 9-5 if people stopped sponsoring wordpress theme because when you are big like a brian gardner or a shoemoney although he doesn't do themes, it's all well and good- people come to you but when you are struggling then you do what it takes to make ends meet which is selling links on your themes to sponsors- I have in the last 2 months been very firm on the policy to keep my designer links on everything I put out as my themes are getting nice downloads and I'd like to see some of the benefit but that has resulted in me hurting to make ends meet so the people who want a free wordpress theme without sponsored links are plain selfish-
They want something free for nothing and the more people speak out against sponsored links the more we will see less and less creative work and more and more crappy themes on the market because even this month I considered quiting because I cant make ends meet like I did 3 months ago so yeah it's great to get a free theme with just designer but how would anyone feel working for a job 8hrs a day and not make a dime- how long would stay
