My goal was not to create yet another wedding photographer blog theme. The intention was to help photographers (and creatives) market themselves better.
When I was a full-time photographer, I have been known as the most inquired photographer through tactical marketing of which I applied many of the concepts within these themes. Since then, I share high level strategies on my blog. Enjoy!

can’t wait to change my blog with one of your templates!
Hi Lawrence,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I am using soft tofu 2.2 and love it. The coding boggled my mind so I used Heather (who you recommended) to help me with the technical side of things. She is well worth the fee. I had my logo ready to go as well as the background image so that helped. We literally had it done in 1hour!
I have started implementing your recommendations from your SEO dvd’s as well – definitely worth the investment (and it is an investment). I expect to see my PR climb some more- it already has!
Thanks again!

Hey Lawrence!
I just wanted to say Thank-You for designing such a beautiful template. I’ve been searching for a unique and simple design, and Soft Tofu 2.2 fit my needs perfectly.

You rock! Thanks so much for your awesome work!
Question…..Will this work with WordPress 3.0?
Yes sir!
Wow, this blog theme looks awesome!
Few customization questions:
Would it be possible to integrate Facebook JavaScript SDK into the comment section so that users can use their facebook account to comment?
And would it be possible to always display the comments? I like that idea.
Thanks,
-David
As long as you know where to place the js codes, then anything is possible. Worst case, I have some coding help you can email if assistance is needed.
I love this but I am dying for the 1 column version. Any news on this version?
Hi Lawrence, I want to buy 2.2 version but I don’t find it anymore in your site. Do you still sell it?
Using the free version right now. It’s awesome! Will be buying the upgrade soon, as much as I LOVE coding, I think i’ll steer away from that : ) Thanks Lawrence.
Any ETA on the new one column version? Want to go Tofurious but the 2-column doesn’t work for me :(
Post the one column soon :-) please????????????
Just wanted to say I LOVE THIS TEMPLATE! We’re now using it for our blog and think it’s awesome!
Love it- Can’t wait for the one column version!!
Hi Lawerence,
I love both your old blog theme and the NEW one. I have a couple questions with regards both the old and the new.
For the old blog theme can we use it on WP3.0?
Can we use the new blog theme on the WP 2.9.2?
I know you are slammed and I TOTALLY appreciate your work but do you have an idea on when the single column new blog theme will be available?
Thank you,
Rob
Yes and yes :D
Thank you!!!!

Lawrence thank you so much for the awesome theme! I’m gonna get working on my new site, I’m so excited! Thanks again :)
I just purchased the new blog theme (woohoo it’s awesome btw!)
Thank you!!! <3
Hi Lawrence, your marketing insights are real inspiration, really looking forward to the single column version of the template, I’m sure its gonna rock!
Any update on the one column? I’m dying to switch over to it :)
Lawrence,
I LOVE this them I am switching from your last one to the new one….
Thank you for your hard work and professionalism. Any best-guess, shot-in-the-dark, somewhere-in-the-ballpark estimate for the single-column theme?
Just gotta say that as soon as I utilized your new blog theme I was overwhelmed by the positive responses in the change.
Great theme and I absolutely love how easy it is to customize everything.
Best Tofu around ;)
I downloaded the two column theme but can you please tell me when the one column will be available? I prefer a one column theme for my site.
Thank you.
I would also like to download the one column theme, I love it! I think the sidebar is distracting!
How is the baking of the one column coming along :) I can’t wait to get my hands on it because honestly your designs are amazing!

Ahhhhhh!!! I can’t stand it! Please release the one column version already! I love the new theme. One column is all that stands between you and my credit card. :)
Hello! I would love the one-column template, but am eager to get started. What is the cost to upgrade if I purchase the two-column template now? Thank you!
Downloading the one column theme
very nice
Thanks

Hi Lawrence,
I have a couple of questions before buying the one column theme:
- Can the fonts and color of the “Call for action” bottom be customize?
- Can I get rid of the little about info section beneath the banner?
I´m looking forward to hearing from you
Thanks,
Yes – it’s an image file so you can put anything there, link it to anywhere or completely remove it
Yes – you can turn the profile section on or off in certain places or all places
Thanks for your quick response!!! I´ll make the purchase right away!!
Hi Lawrence!
I just purchased your 2 column theme. Is there a way to see samples or a “showcase” of how photographers are using your theme?
Thanks!
H
Good question! I’m working on making a gallery soon.
I love anything that helps drive, and keep traffic on a website! Found you through some of the photographers who post on the 2Peas forum. Nice work!
How easy is it to add a section for advertisers?
There are a number of ways.
1. Use the text widget and insert your HTML codes linking to your advertiser
2. Use WP125 plugin which allows you to upload images and links to advertisers
Cheers,
L
Ohhhhh, I just figured out that was part of the premium website feature! Sorry, I’ll be getting the premium now, thanks so much!
