			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-462" href="http://www.sethneal.com/blog/i-love-wordpress/back-camera/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-462" title="WordPress and Seth Neal" src="http://www.sethneal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/seth-wordpress.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a>WordPress is great. Actually, its awesome. This site runs on WordPress. So do 10 million other sites; or so I&#8217;ve heard. A few weeks ago a whole <a title="Twitter Storm!" href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=wpthesis" target="_blank">twitter storm</a> erupted over a certain theme that you can buy for WordPress. At issue was how the theme was licensed and whether or not that was congruent with WordPress&#8217;s GPL. The short answer is it wasn&#8217;t; or isn&#8217;t. You can read about what a <a title="GPL Wikipedia Page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License" target="_blank">GPL means here</a>, but the short answer is it means that any software based off of General Public Licenced software also must be GPL&#8217;d. I know, its all real exciting.</p>
<p>But there was an exciting part for me! And since this is my site, I get to write about that here! The guy who was behind this theme made the claim in an interview that &#8220;he was one of the 3 most important people in WordPress&#8221;. Now, he has a lot of users of his theme, but the claim is was crazy outrageous. The guy has a serious case of narcissism (as it turns out, my kind of guy!). So the founder of WordPress, <a title="Matt Mullenweg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Mullenweg" target="_blank">Matt Mullenweg</a>, decided to give away some t-shirts and certificates to anyone who ask. I asked&#8230; and now I&#8217;m One of the three most important people in WordPress too!</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>And then I found $5.</p>

And he is one of those guys you&#8217;re glad you are friends with. He loves his family. He works hard at his business. He&#8217;s passionate about his interests. I know, that&#8217;s a lot of people, but he&#8217;s also willing to share and encourage at the drop of an email. I love that in a friend.</p>
<p>Geoff is his name, and being awesome&#8230; well, that&#8217;s his game. (Sorry Geoff, that was crazy cheesy, but its written and I don&#8217;t know how to erase yet on the computer screen, so&#8230;) He just re-launched his blog, <a href="http://geoffwelch.com" target="_blank">This Tiny Empire</a> and I think you should do me a favor and at least go by once for a visit. I think you&#8217;ll enjoy it.</p>
<p>As I&#8217;ve thought about my life this evening I came to realize that its easy for me to feel sorry for myself and get depressed and wish for things to be different but what would actually be helpful for me, my family, my business, my everything is to be awesome. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I need a little more awesome in my life. In fact, I&#8217;ve decided that I need to turn up the awesome in my life&#8230; and that&#8217;s exactly what I intend to do. Stay tuned&#8230;</p>
