And a revolution he did start!</p><p>I use <a href="http://bit.ly/Studio-Press" title="StudioPress Premium WordPress Themes" target="_blank">StudioPress</a> themes on most of my sites because they are solidly coded and the support is the best I&#8217;ve found online.  See, unlike others who promote affiliate partnerships I only do so if I am using their products/services on my very own sites.  That is the only way to know if a company offers the quality and support that deserves my recommendation.</p><p>Here are a few examples of some of my sites that use <a href="http://bit.ly/Studio-Press" title="StudioPress Premium WordPress Themes" target="_blank">StudioPress</a> Premium WordPress themes:<ul><li><strong>WordPress Girl Friday</strong>: <a href="http://wordpressgirlfriday.com" title="WordPress Help and Support" target="_blank">WordPress Help and Support</a></li><li><strong>WPVets.org</strong>: <a href="http://wpvets.org" title="Free WordPress Help and Support for U.S. Military Veterans" target="_blank">Free WordPress Help and Support for U.S. Military Veterans</a></li><li><strong>ParacordPaul.com</strong>: <a href="http://www.paracordpaul.com" title="Paracord Paul 550 Paracord Survival Bracelets and Gear" target="_blank">550 Paracord Survival Bracelets and Dog Tag Gear</a></li><li><strong>NetManners.com</strong>: <a href="http;//www.netmanners.com" title="Every Day E-mail Etiquette" target="_blank">Every Day E-mail Etiquette</a></li><li><strong>BusinessEmailEtiquette.com</strong>: <a href="http://www.businessemailetiquette.com" title="E-mail Etiquette for Savvy Business Onliners" target="_blank">E-mail Etiquette for Savvy Business Onliners</a></li></ul><p>If WordPress updates, <a href="http://bit.ly/Studio-Press" title="StudioPress Premium WordPress Themes" target="_blank">StudioPress</a> is the first out with an announcement as to whether their themes require an update or not.

I&#8217;ve been testing all the directory themes I can find for one of my own pet projects I&#8217;m trying to find the time to work on.</p><p>Right now I&#8217;ve got three in my sights that I thought I would share with you due to the ongoing requests I receive for a recommendation of a <strong>Premium WordPress Directory Theme</strong>.</p><p>Each of the three has a unique look and structure.  Each is well supported by the developers.  The key is to look at if each theme&#8217;s features and functionality, which are different amongst the three, offers what you need while providing the layout and look you desire. [Check out my article: <a href="http://www.theistudio.com/muse/2667/choosing-the-right-wordpress-premium-theme" title="Choosing the Right WordPress Premium Theme" target="_blank">Choosing the Right WordPress Premium Theme</a>]</p><p>Be sure to go to each site and take the time to go through the demo with a fine tooth comb.   If you are unsure of how a feature works &#8212; e-mail the developer and ask first before spending your hard earned money.</p><h3><a href="http://bit.ly/eList-WP-Theme" target="_blank">eList Directory WordPress Theme</a></h3><p>eList is a versatile Directory WordPress Theme.
