<p>Like many of you I spend a large portion of my life online. I&#8217;m a blogging addict, run many websites, pay my bills online and even do my shopping on the net. I&#8217;d date there if I wasn&#8217;t already married, sorry ladies, twenty five years! ;o)</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Out of the hundreds of products and thousands of dollars I&#8217;ve spent over the years every once in a blue moon I find a product worth writing about. That&#8217;s exactly what I found when I dropped almost a hundred dollars for the <a href="http://www.wordpressdreamtheme.com/" target="_blank">WordPress Dream Theme</a> by Ben Cope back in March.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://extremeezine.com/" target="_blank">Extreme Ezine</a> is well into it&#8217;s sixth year and it is by far my most prized site. It means a lot to me so when I decided to convert it to blog format I wanted the best. I spent a lot of time searching and looking for a WordPress blog theme trying to find the one best suited for my needs and worthy of my pride and joy. I&#8217;m being very serious when I say price was not an issue. I&#8217;m not loaded with money but I was perfectly willing to spend several hundred dollars if that&#8217;s what it took for the perfect match.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>When I came across Ben&#8217;s <a href="http://www.wordpressdreamtheme.com/" target="_blank">WordPress Dream Theme</a> I knew I had a serious candidate. The WordPress Dream Theme had everything I was looking for. It&#8217;s widget-enabled, beautiful layout with thumbnail images and even had a featured post section. Ben has added built-in banner and ad areas and as an extra bonus he even added an area for feeds from other sites.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.wordpressdreamtheme.com/" target="_blank">WordPress Dream Theme</a> is very easily customized. I have very little experience with blog themes and I was able to make my blog very appealing and unique.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what put the WordPress Dream Theme over the top for me. &#8211; Availability and reputation! Ben is not hiding from customer contact. On <a href="http://www.epicwebstrategies.com/" target="_blank">Ben&#8217;s website</a> you will find a contact form and phone number. This is important to me. When I needed a little assistance setting up the RSS feeds section I sent an email using Ben&#8217;s online form and he answered very quickly. That same day I had the feeds up and running smoothly.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>I recently decided to upgrade the theme by adding a rotating featured post section. I emailed Ben asking if it was possible. The next day I had exactly what I was looking for at a very low price. That kind of service is worth writing about.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">BTW, Ben does have an affiliate program but that&#8217;s not why I&#8217;m sharing this story. I just want you to know how happy I am with this purchase. I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">have not</span> used my affiliate link to prove it!</span></p>
