choosing a theme wisely
By Grace on Aug 28, 2007 in blogging
I am not in a hiatus after the long carnival post yesterday although I admit, I want to break free from blogging by at least a day. Oh well, I couldn’t do it so here’s a quick post.
As mentioned in my previous post, I am slowly migrating into my own domain. Contents moved, some bugs checked, some bugs given up with. Now the ultimate grilling time has consumed me: Choosing a blog theme.
This is by far the most exhausting and time consuming of all. Blogggers with own domains, do you agree? Choosing a template that works for you in all aspects requires visiting and downloading and testing theme after theme after theme. Sometimes I experience some difficulty and encounter bugs. If I really like the theme, I’d them go find resources to fix the glitches or look for developer community forums and disturb everyone with my technical questions.
Were you able to pick your blog theme quickly?
I am really choosy but that doesn’t mean I have a grand taste. I actually love minimalistic, basic, clean theme that works, like Cutline (this current theme).
I have a web maven who does all my html work, but I did the design and theme work. I knew I wanted soft and soothing, yet fun. It’s been up a while, so time to work on a new one.

I would love to upgrade to a Wordpress blog but can’t choose a clever name for my blog!!
Hope it works out with the new template..
Did you host Carnival of Cities yet? I hope I didn’t miss it

in themes - i go for a little bit of color - red, and probably green! i like that which you can see everything in one page as much as possible and don’t have to click ‘next’ and ‘next’ to get all the information - because by clicking ‘next’ and ‘next’, i sometimes get lost in all the pages! i also don’t like to have to scroll down a lot, when the sidebar is longer than the post. but that’s just me ….

In the beginning, I used to change my theme every month because I just wasn’t satisfied with whatever I had. Then I found Leanne who did my current theme. She is a true miracle worker!
