Blogging: Now that you have an address how about a Theme

A few days ago I wrote about getting started with your own blog and deciding whether you want to self-host your blog or get a blog through a site like blogger or wordpress. Now that you have figured out which path you want to take the next big step is naming your blog and deciding on its theme. I have to admit I spent a long time finding the right theme for my blog. I think deciding on a theme took longer than I spent deciding on my desired name and web address. I literally looked at hundreds of wordpress themes before finding this one. The biggest problem was finding a “cute” girl for my blog. I wanted something that was trendy but yet represented me and my theme.

TopWordPressThemes.com is one of the best places you should look when trying to discover your theme. They offer hundreds of free Wordpress themes with various themes. If I wasn’t aiming for a blonde girl for my page I think I would have gone with this theme titled “Shopping Manual” because it totally reflects my love for shopping. I still might try it out and see how it looks with my posts and links especially since the theme is totally free!

That is the great thing about WordPress - there are hundreds of free themes you can download from sites like this so you are not stuck with a set amount of themes available to you from a blogging site like blogger and you can change your theme as often as you’d like. Nothing like hearing free and lots of choices to make this budget girl happy! So go out and find a few themes to play with on your WordPress blog and get ready to blog!!
