December 22nd in Premium Plug-ins by Wordpress Jedi . 
Joomla has given us WordPress crazy folks a run for our money. Joomla is a portal CMS that makes it easy to create membership communities. I personally prefer WordPress to Joomla and often get tired of seeing folks claiming how great Joomla is in comparison to WordPress. Well, with WP Membership, I really don’t see any advantage to using Joomla.
WP-Membership, which is going for $29.99 per domain, is a premium plug-in that makes it very easy to turn your WordPress website into a fully-fledged membership site (very similar to amember). For instance, you can define what pages folks have access to, and what pages is part of your premium membership program:
The nice thing about this theme is that it allows you to use PayPal effectively to make money. You can also define user levels (gold, silver), and give them different rights. You can create and register pages under these tiers, making sure that folks get what they pay for. Overall, WP-Membership is a nice addition to the WordPress community. WP-Membership may not be as advanced as amember, but it’s effective for small membership sites on WordPress.

Verdict: 4/5

I had a story about WP.Element’s Jason moving on to doing bigger and better things. Jason’s new theme shows that he hasn’t been wasting anytime developing new themes. His RevolutionTV theme is arguably the best video-blogging theme I have seen.
The Revolution TV allows you to host your own video show on the Internet. On the right side, there is a section for the latest video episodes, and also you can promote your highest rated videos right below it. You are also provided with the place to actually blog about your videos:
The theme is well-designed but would be most likely useful only to super video-bloggers (someone like the star of Ask the Ninja). You can get the Revolution TV theme for free on Revolution 2, but I strongly recommend signing up for their Pro program. Not only you get support for all their themes with their pro program, but they also provide you with help on how to customize these themes. It sure as heck beats paying $1000s to create a custom theme made from scratch.
Ratings: 5/5. The theme is perfect even based on my picky standards. Vloggers rejoice.
