New Blog Help

Congratulations on getting your Wordpress blog installed! Now you can start blogging…what’s that? You despise the default Kubrick theme that comes with all Wordpress installations? I for one find that very hard to believe, I mean look at that theme…it’s simple, it’s rounded at the corners….it’s a sea of blue…

Okay, okay so there’s probably only 2% of the population that actually likes the Kubrick default Wordpress theme…and the only other theme that comes with Wordpress by default is the Classic theme and it’s not so hot either. So what’s a blogger to do? You could find some pre-made Wordpress themes and install them to your blog as is, you could modify a pre-made Wordpress theme with your own graphics and artistic style, and then install it to your blog, or you could get wild and create your own theme…okay, okay we’ll save the wildness for another post…

So today’s post is about where to find Wordpress themes. Back in the old days of Wordpress there were some pretty hokey-looking themes available for bloggers and they were pretty basic in their functionality. Nowadays Wordpress themes or templates, are nothing short of a marvel of superb design with breath-taking appeal. This new breed of Wordpress themes is not only stylish and good-looking, but they have an amazing level of functionality that will allow you to do things with your blog that you may not have known was even possible to do before.

If you’re just starting out with Wordpress and you’re looking for some excellent Wordpress template resources then here is a list of where you can get some free or not-so-free themes from:
