Recently I blogged about the WordPress Market Theme and how impressed I was by it. I finally got a chance to give it an actual test drive and I stand by my review. Anyone who has ever considered opening an online store would find the Market theme just what they’re looking for. The price used to be just $40, but it was just increased to $55.
