During the 10 Day Give, I found out about a great story of one giver giving the Thesis Theme to another giver (I can’t remember who the two givers were, so remind me if you are one of them!). I got to thinking about it, and I thought it would be a perfect giveaway for Free Stuff Friday as well.
If you don’t know what Thesis is, it is the Wordpress theme that I use on ChristianPF. After I switched I wrote about how much Thesis has helped me simplify my life (also wrote about it here as well). I know many of you aren’t bloggers, so this one might not be of interest to you. But I also know that many of you are – I get questions from you all the time! So if you ask me what my favorite theme is, a few months ago I would have told you Semiologic, but now I feel pretty strongly that Thesis is better (and a lot cheaper as well).
If you are interested in finding out a little bit more about Thesis, check out the video below…

Free Stuff Friday going monthly
After almost 2 years of weekly giveaways, I have decided to change Free Stuff Friday to be a monthly event – likely the first Friday of the month. The good news is that the budget for each giveaway item will be a lot larger since it is only once a month. Sometimes, there might be multiple items up to win and other times it will be just one big item… As of right now, I am planning on kicking off the monthly giveaways starting November 6th – so keep an eye out…
These are a few interesting posts from the week…
- Rethinking the value of credit card rewards
- How God worked in the life of a debt-free blogger
- How to protect your important documents
- 27 ways to save money on your utility bills
- 10 things learned from moving

Bob, Thanks for the link and your work on the site!
Hey Bob!
The give came from Beth @ Smart Family Tips to Nicki @ Domestic Cents.

Thanks David!!
Thanks for the link, Bob!
My pleasure!
This is an awesome idea Bob! I was so blessed to receive this from Beth. I know one of your readers will feel the same when they win it!
Bob,
I love your give a ways, and your blog in general. In order to enter this contest you wanted us to re-tweet it, no big deal, but can I suggest adding the tweet MeMe plug in to your site. You can find the plug-in on tweetmeme’s site:
http://help.tweetmeme.com/2009/04/06/wordpress-plugin/
or on the Wordpress site:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetmeme/
The benifit is that people can just re-tweet you article right from your sight or from their rss feed. Of course you may not want the clutter on your site, but in reality it doesn’t take up much space and you can choose the top or bottom portion of the article.
You do a great job with your blog, so for me to suggest it is kinda crazy, just an idea…
Parrott,
I actually used that plugin for a few months and I do like it, but it was slowing down the site a bit and I didn’t really notice many people using it… Thanks for the suggestion and I might give it another go…
Are you giving away the personal version, or is the developer’s version on the table here?
Hi Bob. Thanks for mentioning my Roth withdrawals article.
And good luck to all who enter the giveaway! Thesis is truly awesome in terms of its flexibility compared to other themes.

The Personal Version.
Hi,
I love your blog, very informative and interesting. I would love to be eligable to win the Thesis Theme. I have a couple of blogs and keep using the free WordPress Themes and have read so much about Thesis, just can’t swing it right now.
