I am sorry if you've e-mailed or I am working on a project for you and have not gotten back to you today. I had a quite unexpected emergency last night and the untimely passing of my youngest ferret, Bueller today. This came so very soon after Ginger's passing that it has just hit me pretty hard. I promise to get back to everyone's e-mails and theme upgrades and so much more as soon as possible.
Just wanted to address our upgrade policy since we've begun receiving many e-mails regarding this topic.
We will be upgrading all of our themes to be compatible with Rapidweaver 3.6. These upgrades will be free to everyone who has purchased our themes. These upgrades will add many new features which RW 3.6 provides us as theme developers.
When possible we will add color and theme style options to our themes. Not all themes will receive the ability to use the color picker, however. This is due to heavy usage of graphics in some of our themes. We will do our best though to add new options to each of our themes.
We will also be adding Blocks 3.0 library items to each upgraded theme, and future themes, as well as styling support for RapidBlog.
Upgrades will all be sent out through e-mail as they become ready, following their individual updates.
We also have many new themes planned and a few themes in the works. So stay tuned here to our blog for continuing details regarding upgrades.
I would like to start by saying, I am sorry if you've e-mailed me in the last few days and I have yet to get back to you. I have been changing residences and, well, as you know that is a load of work. So I will get back to everyone's e-mails as soon as humanly possible.
The good news is I have a great new place with some new equipment and such that will make running elixir much easier and hopefully help me to be much more productive. As soon as I get things better setup I will post some photos of the new place.
In unrelated, but also very good news, we have been featured on Smashing Magazine today in a list of 60 Elegant and Visually Appealing Designs. We're quite giddy about it and think you should go to check out the other designs as well. We're very proud to be listed among them!
Being a big fan of e-junkie's services, support, and ease of use, I want to mention some new things that are going on at our favorite e-commerce site. While updating some product listings and creating some Twitter discount codes I noticed a few new services had appeared and checked in with Robin over at e-junkie to see what they were all about. Not only did he give me a run down of the new features, he let me in on some that are yet unannounced.
The newest feature is...
• The ability to send newsletters to customers. These are sent just like sending out product updates. Slick and easy to use. [Available now]
• Shopping cart discounts. These allow merchants to offer bulk discounts based on a cart's order total. Makes it easy to create store wide discounts without editing each product. [Coming in approximately 1-2 weeks]
• The ability to have both simple and advanced drop-downs options in purchase buttons. A great example of a use for this is selling T-shirts in various sizes, with only one button. [Coming in approximately 3 weeks]
• The ability for merchants to create and offer discount codes to affiliates and then track sales using those rather than just affiliate links. [Coming later this year]
• Free online shops for merchants who don't have their own websites. [Coming later this year]

Today Daniel Counsel posted some of the most exciting new features of RapidWeaver 3.6 to the Realmac Software Blog.
While Dan has been posting new features and updates over the past few days, but today brought the announcement of Theme Styles and easy color picking. We've been hard at work at creating some new themes that take full advantage of these new features and many more. So far the Realmac team has announced these additions for the new version of RapidWeaver:
