WooThemes has announced their release of Beta 1 for WooCommerce, their free plugin that is being widely adopted for many individuals and businesses.

This is my personal WordPress Epiphany. You probably can’t go too far into a discussion about blogging before the topic turns to WordPress – maybe two or three sentences at most. Like ham & cheese or tea & bud, they are perfect partners. So one would think that a guy who blogs for others (a social voice for pixels), is all over WordPress – steeping it all day long.
