 What do you call a man that has a web design business, yet, takes his free time to tutor and provide guidance to the thousands upon thousands of Wordpress users in the world? You call him Darren Hoyt! Darren is a designer and developer who, in his spare time, develops very creative things to make the lives of bloggers just that much easier. He has developed a Wordpress theme that has become a framework from which you can create fantastic blog sites. That framework, aptly called Mimbo, allows bloggers to create fantastic looking websites in a flash just by performing basic alterations and customizations to Darren's well commented, easy to understand files. Complete with a great tutorial and screenshots, the Mimbo Wordpress theme is sure to please even the pickiest blog owner.
Darren has created something of a cult following. His Mimbo framework has been customized for use on a ton of blogs. His client projects include a number of beautifully designed projects. In addition to his paid exploits, Darren has taken the time to create Mimbo, write tutorials for it, post sites that use it on his blog, create a forum for Mimbo users AND create a great project that allows you to add images to your RSS feeds. That project is called Sandbox. When Darren isn't working his butt off, we do know that Darren does have a personal life. In fact, we have proof! He used his girlfriend in the design of his front page. Yes, that is his girlfriend in the fur coat. I love it when we can put our significant others to work for us! Maybe I'll try that! That's yet another one of Darren's fantastic ideas that I'm going to use! :-) If you are in need of a great theme that can be extended to the high heavens, then make sure that you run over and check out Darren's website. As a fellow designer and developer, I can tell you that his work is top notch and his tutorials for the project are excellent. After you visit his site, let me know what you think by posting a comment here. Posted by Kila Morton
