			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Christmas spirit has hit us hard and we are looking to spread the joy to you! We have marked down our popular Ministry Theme to 0.25.  This is a limited time opportunity, so jump on now while supplies exist! We wont really run out of supplies, but this offer will only last for so long.</p>
<p>It has been great working with a lot of you, and hearing stories from so many Ministries. I hope 2012, is a great year with lots of new and exciting things to come!</p>

<p>Furthermore, we are contacting ministries who purchased Ministry Theme to give them the first chance to try it out and give their feedback. Look for that email in the coming weeks!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have been considering a few changes to how the Ministry Theme is priced and we are curious what you think about it.  We have several ideas.</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Offering a bundle package where the theme is sold at a reduced price and offer hosting of your website.  We also offer free support and possibly updates to your theme as needed.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Another idea was to offer the theme free or a reduced price and only charge for support.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Charge for the theme and future updates, unless there was a bug or WordPress changed functionality</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Keep everything as is but bring more updates!</span></li>
</ol>
<p>Do any of these changes interest you or are we missing the point?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are excited to announce the introduction of administrative features for the Ministry Themes.  We have received several requests to introduce this functionality.  The new features will make setting up the theme, easier and more intuitive.</p>
<p>Currently the focus is on improving administration of the front page.  Currently updates to those pages, require a manual alteration to the site&#8217;s code.  With the introduction of these exciting features anyone who can use a computer can update, and alter the website.  We have also included a few other important fixes, which will make the latest version of the Ministry Theme, the biggest update ever!</p>
<p>Currently we are still getting all the nasty bugs or other errors and will release this update shortly.  Ministries currently using the theme are eligible for FREE updates!  Simply post a comment here or on the support forum, and I will send you the update once we make sure everything is performing at its best!!  Additionally, we will be contacting everyone who purchased a Ministry Theme, to see if you want the update.</p>
<p>Do you have any ideas for future developments? We would love to hear your thoughts!  Comment below.</p>
