Summary: Wordpress Themes and Scripting Your Show This week I received an email from Paul in London asking if I do any scripting of my show and he also had a question about Wordpress themes. As for scripting out my shows, I honestly don't do much scripting at all. The only scripting I do is my Rapid Fire questions. I have a list of about 20 different questions that I store on Evernote and when I do come up with a new question I quickly add it to the list. As for the content, I don't script any of it out mainly because I don't want to sound like I'm reading I want it to sound natural. I have a format down where I know in the opening of the episode I'll answer emails/feedback or provide a quick tip on podcasting and then in the 2nd half of the show I'll be talking to my guest and doing Rapid Fire. As for Wordpress themes, I'm pretty sold on Thesis 1.8.2 and it's the version I'm using on most of my sites. I know that Thesis is currently in the 2.0 phase but I don't like that look and I know that some podcasters have had a hard time with the new version. Another theme for Wordpress that I've had success with is the Streamline Child Theme from StudioPress. The version I am running for our site is 1.0.1. You can see what it looks like here. What themes are you using? Do you script out your shows? I'd love to hear your feedback! Email me at feedback@spnt.tv or leave comments down below! Starting Over with Scott Eiland Scott Eiland has been podcasting for a little over a year now and he's experienced the high's and low's of podcasting in a short period of time. He got his start in podcasting with The Baseball Experience Podcast talking about the week's top new stories in the world of baseball. He started off strong and had some really great episodes but then Scott will tell you he hit a wall. It was tough coming up with weekly content all the while working his full time day job, and even better, working part time as a local wrestling announcer. Which had it not been for podcasting, he may not have gotten the gig in the first place! This week Scott sits down and tells us how he reinvented his podcast and we learn about his guilty pleasure this week in Rapid Fire! If you're into wrestling, make sure you check out Scott's podcast This Week in Wrestling as well. If you would like to promote your podcast, sit in the Hot Seat on Rapid Fire!
