A blogs theme or template can make or break your site

by Tricia

If you are serious about blogging you likely know that having a well put together, organized and attractive theme for your site is important.

Believe it or not, there are many people out there that judge a site initially on how it looks and if they see a blogging theme that’s a general default theme or one that’s been used on 1000’s of other sites without any kind of customization they’ll often move on to read another blog. The content on the site could be the best they could find, but they’ll leave the site simply because they don’t like the look of it. Silly really, but it’s true.

It’s a good idea to find a theme that compliments your blog and to customize it with a header that further defines your sites topic. You can pay to have a designer create a custom made theme for your site, but it’s easy enough to go into the CSS stylesheet or CSS files of a theme and change link or background colors to give the theme a more personalized look and feel.

I have a number of WordPress blogs and after spending several months looking at themes I finally changed the themes on a few of my blogs in May. I’m still keeping my eye out for themes that suit my other blogs as a few of them need a new look and or better functionality. This site could certainly use a new look.

If you are like me and you’ve been thinking of changing your sites theme it might help to know which themes are considered some of the best. I went searching for people that had already written reviews on what they consider to be the top WordPress Themes.
