I’ve been working on adding features to make managing sites using The Privateer Theme for WordPress a bit easier. With a bit of luck and a lot of programming, I should have it available within three to four days.

A partial change list:

1. More (and more flexible) custom displays
2. A custom display installer, so you don’t have to upload them via ftp.
3. Quick sets. These are saved option groups that you can create and/or apply to instantly change the entire look of your site. Perfect for trying out different looks quickly as well as designing locally and applying your finished look to your production site.
4. Better interoperability with Google AdSense and Analytics
5. A more robust lockout system so you can choose to refer those who are not logged in to your login page, show them a static page, or show them a brief maintenance type blurb.

Yes, Hub Pages is a social networking site, not a direct advertising site.

However, what I am advocating is not placing large advertisements on Hub Pages, but rather providing the Hub Pages community with solid information that they can use while giving those who like the content you provide a way to get more information.
