Ping.Fm is a cool service that allows you to essentially ping several different services at the same time. PingPressFM is a plugin that allows you to send a ping to Ping.Fm when you make a new blog post on your Wordpress blog.

I use this plugin on my blog and I love using it because when I go to make the post, I don’t have to worry about having to either going to every website like Twitter, Jaiku or Pownce to make a post telling followers that you have a new blog post or even going to Ping.Fm, it automatically pings the Ping.Fm website and then posts to the services that are setup in Ping.Fm. The only downside to this is if you schedule a blog post, it will not ping those services… I have suggested to the owner of the plugin to make it still Ping when a scheduled post goes out.

Ping.Fm automatically updates your status message for Facebook, Jaiku, LinkedIn and Pownce; making a blog post for you on Bebo, Blogger, Hi5, LiveJournal and MySpace and along with blogging, Ping.Fm posts a Micro-Blog post on MySpace and Twitter. By using this plugin for your selfhosted wordpress blog, it will also update these services.

As you may have noticed, WordPress 2.6 failed to meet its original release date (July 7th). It looks like a few things weren’t quite ready, and one of the great things about this WordPress team is they usually make sure things are good before making an official release. I believe the new release date is July 14th, which is next Monday.

In the meantime, if you like to be on the cutting edge and test things, WordPress 2.6 Beta 3 is now available for download. You can see a list of what is new with Beta 3 here.

After speaking with my good friend Adii of Premium News themes, it looks like he has made a bold, yet wise decision to move his Premium News business to the new domain Woo Themes. Obviously moving your website to a new domain can be a big hassle (I’ve done it 4 times in the past year for a few of my websites and it was a lot of work), but in this situation I really think it was the right and necessary move for the growth of his business.

So, why did Adii move his online business to a new home? One very important word…brandability. When he launched Premium News Themes, it was originally to sell one theme, the original Premium News theme. Since then, his business has expanded drastically, and that domain was limiting him to releasing only news WordPress themes.

So, now the Premium News Themes can be found over at Woo Themes. What other changes were included with the domain transfer?

1. Woo Themes Team Grows - The Woo Themes team has added a new member named Elliot Jay Stocks. I’m not familiar with Elliot’s work, but more people probably means faster theme production and more choices.
2. Woo Themes Club - This is an interesting idea for a subscription-based WordPress themes club that appears to be set to replace the concept of an All-Inclusive Package we’ve seen other designers do. The cheapest membership is $150.00 quarterly, but that gives you access to all existing Woo Themes as well as any new themes.
3. Regular Theme Releases - The Woo Themes team is committed to releasing at least 1 new premium theme each month, with many months have 2 new premium themes.
4. Two New Premium Themes - You can now purchase two new premium WordPress themes. They are VibrantCMS and ProudFolio.
5. New Prices - All Woo Themes (previously Premium News themes) are now available at premanently reduced prices. You can get a single license for $70.00 or a developer’s license for $150.00.

Overall, I am impressed with the new setup and I think it will be interesting to see how this changes the premium WordPress themes market. How will having a team instead of an individual improve both production and support? Will their price reduction force the competition to reduce their prices? Will their twist on the theme club idea take off?

Check out the new and improved Woo Themes.
