I spoke with one of my favourite designers / Internet people I’ve never actually met Brian Gardner who is also a partner at CopyBlogger Media the people behind things like the Genesis Framework (for WordPress), StudioPress (one of the most popular WordPress theme shops) and New Rainmaker (their new media platform based on WordPress).

We also talked about his interesting blogging side project Unfiltered.me and asked him for advice on Lean Themes (my new side project with Derry Birkett).

Note – Due to an internet issue I had to arrange the location for this live chat at very short notice, hence some of the (slightly hilarious) disruption at the end of the interview. However I still wanted to share it with you though because Brian covers some great stuff.
