I have actually found some very decent free wordpress themes, but I agree the custom ones are much better. They are just a bit expensive, so I am going to try to make one myself.

Nice topic. I remember when I was choosing my blog theme. I think since last month I had already changed my theme 10 times and it really took me hours to change themes since it’s hard to change and reconfigure widgets. My advice for new bloggers is that before they put all the widgets, ads and postings in their blogs, they should be satisfied with their chosen theme first.

However the option of having paid themes is also of utmost importance if you want to have “uniqueness” in your site as what Mike stated in this post.

I just use a blogger template and quite contended with that…sure to implement it once I gain some exposure!!.

It’s not only premium themes that get ripped off. I realize it’s not as big, but free themes get jacked, too. What I mean is when the credit link is removed. No, the creator isn’t losing any money, but a lot of work can be put into the free themes, also. I created a free theme, and it makes me angry when I find someone using it and removing the credit link. All I asked was for one lousy link to be kept in the footer!

when I had a domain and wanted to have my own unique theme, i googled on how to designed a wordpress theme and read something about it. am not sure whether i went to the correct place but what i read is exactly like what you said, the site told me how to pick a theme, kinda pick parts of it to copy and paste as a new theme, technically ‘ripping’ the theme off i guess.

I know how I want my blog to look but ca not afford to dish out $500 bucks. I will have enough money save by summers end to have it complete.

I think I didn’t make myself clear, but it usually is VERY VERY difficult to rip off a theme if there is no “DEMO”. Lets say my theme is being ripped…the files would include EVERYTHING including posts, files, etc. It would take a long time for the ripper to delete all of these and find all the “tracking”.

I understand that it really is tempting to “steal” a theme. I personally have the Revolution/Magazine theme, but have not used or given it out to anyone
BTW, I like what you did to the BOBv2 theme
