Launching an uncustomized blog.
(Is “uncustomized” even a word?)
I have to say that I’m a firm believer in the fact that NOBODY should have a blog that isn’t at least a teeny tiny bit customized these days.
Sure you can install Wordpress, throw up a free theme and start publishing in under an hour. But that’s like farting on your blog and having a bunch of people come to visit and smell catch you redhanded with a stinky blog. Blogging with a bareass blog can be just as embarrassing.
There are so many ways you can add your own unique touch to your new blog that there’s really no excuse. Leaving up the default theme should be a sin. Shame on you if you’re a sinner!
Now, I’ve had the opportunity to play around with the Thesis theme that everyone and their dog has been talking about and was most thoroughly impressed. This is a premium theme, meaning you have to purchase it.
However, it’s a ridonculously great price for the slick features that come with it, and it’s super simple to navigate around the options. Not only that, but Levar freaking Burton uses that theme! Who wouldn’t want a Wordpress theme that Geordi La Forge rocks out to?
Using the Thesis theme is one great way to have a blog that allows you to make it unique without spending a boatload of money.
Another option for you is to keep your eye out in the coming days/weeks because I’m going to be posting about a few things you can do on your own to make your blog stand out. These are things that I can do, so there’s no reason why anyone else can’t do it too. There are days when I put the cereal in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard. Seriously. So anyhoo, make sure to sign up for my RSS feed so you don’t miss out on some cool Wordpress tutorials.

Um, love the graphics there. Tee-hee. I just found your blog and am reading through all of your posts. I’m finding them immensely informative and a bit funny too! Now I’m going through my blog and trying to make it nicer-looking. I’m afraid I have quite a job ahead of me.
Why thank you Claire
Good luck with your blog!
