Thanks for the plug Derek, I am glad you like my version of v2. It has proven to be a most beneficial base to work from. Thanks again.

OK, I get it. I thought there was some magic such that the link didn’t even have to be clicked

Thanks.

Themes are not “phoning” home. All themes include an attribute link at the footer of the theme. When a reader viewing a site with a footer link pointing towards 5thirtyone.com is clicked, a referral is logged in my Mint database. It’s nothing secretive or sly, it’s just the way the internet works.

Interesting, how did you tailor your themes to ‘phone home’? No criticism, just wondering what kind of technique you are using to track incoming referrals, or i.o.w. how are those incoming referrals generated?

On a related note, I’m not using one of your themes as a base, but I took some of your design elements as inspiration to fix some parts of my site which is K2 based.
