Awesome! Keep us posted if you pursuit it. I might build a network around StartupSaturdays.com so folks using their weekends to launch new business ideas can share and collaborate.

Great stuff.

I got a great idea just while watching this. Don't worry, nothing considered competition
Subsidiaries are a powerful and effective concept.

Thanks Aaron! Yes, never a shortage ideas, and even as I was working with the TweakMyTheme idea that Saturday I ended up thinking of a few other Startup Saturday ideas. Realizing that the main thing is to just get far enough with my own stuff that I can get it “out there”' in front of the public. Sometimes I'm way too much of a perfectionist and it results in things never getting released. Just read a post on Zen Habits this week that describes it perfectly: http://zenhabits.net/2010/02/completion-princip...

We will have to coordinate a group around “Startup Saturdays” sometime and use it to get in-house ideas out to the world. “StartupSaturdays.com” has now been registered.

Start-up Saturday, love the idea Dave. For those of us that never have a shortage of ideas and can work with a few resources/tools it can offer up some fun. Just what can you accomplish in 4,6, or 12 hours on a Saturday? Thanks for the fun.

Thanks Joe! Yes, really happy to have connected on Amplify (which is running on WordPress MU by the way). Keep in touch!

Thanks Jimmy! Yes, WordPress is awesome. I just realized I had so many sites running on it that it I needed to offer it as a service all it's own. From what I'd seen, people were missing out on a lot of the functionality that a self-hosted WP site has to offer (vs. a WordPress.com site which is very limited).

Dave: Great stuff and great idea. I had tried WordPress at one time and realized that there was some cool functionality to it, but found it cumbersome to navigate. I could see myself as a future customer of yours down the road depending on how things go. Very cool!
