[wp-hackers] AutoTheme for WordPress Introduction

[Shawn McKenzie]

Hi Steve,

Sorry, I just replied to another email that explains some of the 
benefits.  AutoTheme actually runs the pre-created or user created HTML 
themes and allows the configuration of all aspects of the display / 
editing of the HTML via the WordPress admin interface.  It is written in 
PHP and is uploaded to a WordPress site.

I would be glad to give a demonstration/introductory presentation if 
someone has suggestions on how to accomplish this online.

Also, I would be happy to give everyone access to the admin of my 
wordpress demo site as well if you wish.  I just installed it and need 
to find a good theme and then I can send you a link/credentials.

Thanks!
-Shawn
