WordPress Theme Gallery

Your theme is one of the most important parts of your Wordpress blog. It controls how your blog looks to your visitors. There are many free Wordpress themes available, so you shouldn’t find it too difficult to find one to match your needs.

One thing to bear in mind here is that the free themes have almost certainly been used by hundreds if not thousands of other people. So to make your theme completely unique, you should consider having your own theme created for you.

This can be done very cheaply and for probably less than $100. This can really make the difference between people remembering your blog and coming back to it, or simply to visit and never return again. Places where you can find people to create your themes for you can be found at Elance.com or Rentacoder.com and of course, just try doing a search in Google for unique Wordpress themes.

Next, login to your Wordpress Admin section and choose the “Presentation” option from the top section. You should then see a screen shot of your new theme. Just click on it and it will become your default theme. Click on the “View Site” link to have a look at it.

Changing the look and feel of your site with a single click is one of the most powerful functions of Wordpress.
