		<description>Enjoying it in A New Way Using Chatwing Chat Widget

This chat software can be embedded to your blog site with ease. It installs in seconds and after a few customization, it&#039;s ready to go. The chat widget lets you talk and share information with your visitors through live chat. Your online or soon-to-be online readers won&#039;t have a hard time joining in because of its social media integration capacity – a feature that lets you join through your Facebook or Twitter account. Your readers can also log in as guests, if they prefer to be anonymous. This feature allows your reader to directly connect with you while at the same time exchange useful information with them. And as your conversations become more interesting, other viewers might join in. Your chatroom will generate web traffic, which is beneficial to both you and your site.</description>

		<description>Hi sunshine_locs. All of these frameworks are the theme. Some allow for child themes, and some allow for &quot;skins&quot; (in effect, their own way to accomplish child theming).

Headway&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://headwaythemes.com/extend/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Extend&lt;/a&gt; page would list any child themes available for free or purchase, I&#039;m sure (i.e. I don&#039;t see any at this time). But you can see their &lt;a href=&quot;http://headwaythemes.com/customers/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Showcase&lt;/a&gt; for examples of what can be done with the framework.

Please contact Headway directly with any follow-up questions, as I&#039;m sure they&#039;d be happy to help you figure out whether or not it&#039;s going to be the right fit for you.

Best to you in your theme framework search!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the update. I edited the Catalyst price (the last update ever ;-)

Personally, I haven&#039;t tested Catalyst with all the WPMU DEV plugins, but WPMU DEV is committed to WordPress coding standards and will fix anything broken by WP. I assume Catalyst and other legit premium product providers are the same. So I&#039;d say &quot;yes&quot; if I had to guess. But both are guaranteed in some way so hopefully you can accomplish your goals.

I&#039;m very glad it helped!</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing your link. The topic is very relevant, but you caught some heat because there is no one &quot;right&quot; way to test performance (i.e. not everyone agrees). Thanks for your contributions to the WP community! That&#039;s most important.</description>

		<description>Hi Shovan. PageLines uses LESS, not SASS. I&#039;m not going to take a position about one being better than the other (&lt;a href=&quot;http://css-tricks.com/sass-vs-less/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;LESS vs SASS&lt;/a&gt;), but I&#039;ll say either is better than plain-ol&#039; CSS. Hope you&#039;re enjoying your theme choice.</description>

		<description>Thanks for making this so comprehensive.  Just a note that with the new site redesign the tables are obscured and mostly unreadable.</description>

		<description>Greetings,

Thanks a million for doing the research for me.

I am a total novice – never used WP. I have been looking all around, not being able to find exactly what I wanted. Contacted a few developers, but that was way too costly for what I want.

Long story short, I am considering Headway Themes but am slightly confused. Hoping someone can help me here.

What I am trying to figure out is which child themes can be used with Headway? I don’t see any on the website? Can any WP theme be used?

And additionally……so let’s say I find a child theme I like, but want to make a few changes to the layout – can I do this with Headway?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.</description>

		<description>Hi Clifford, thanks so much for compiling this fabulous resource and your next one as well. I&#039;m a completely newbie at all of this and so it is fabulous to have this comparison, even if I don&#039;t understand all the different features. I&#039;m sitll in my research phase but thought you might like to know that the prices for Catalyst have changed... a one time fee of $127 for unlimited websites:
http://catalysttheme.com/#catalyst-pricing
I had pretty much decided to go with Catalyst Theme because I wanted to be able to start without know how to do all the different HTML and CSS coding... and then I discovered that they have just released a Dynamik Child Theme for Genesis as well... this is making my decision really hard... and I wondered if you had any ideas:
http://dynamiktheme.com/introducing-the-dynamik-website-builder-for-the-genesis-framework/

Also I&#039;ve just been peeking into some of your plugins mentioned on this page... and was wondering will your e-Newsletter plugin and your Membership plugin work with the Dynamik Child Theme for either Catalyst or Genesis Frameworks. 

Thanks so much for any advice you can give me. I&#039;m such a newbie, I don&#039;t really understand all these different options of Frameworks, Child Themes and what Catalyst used to call their Dynamik Skins. As far as I can workout Dynamik is a child theme that also has lots of user friendly options that allow you to design your site without having to learn HTML and CSS coding.

With best wishes, Caroline

		<description>Clifford, I finally did it. I compared 7 core frameworks by their native Performance. You might like it: http://chrislema.com/wordpress-frameworks-compared-on-performance/</description>
