Customise your blog

I’ve been looking into the idea of developing a custom theme for my blog. On the advice of various IM blogs and Aaron Wall’s SEO site, this seems to be a great way to further develop a blogs brand identity and differentiate it from the rest of the pack. It’s also a great way to spend a bucket of cash, right? Wrong.

OK OK it can be and this is why I haven’t taken this step so far. But then I came across a site from Yvo Schaap with a Wordpress theme generator where you can build your own theme in minutes.

Well, not exactly minutes, it actually takes a lot of effort to create something professional looking. But what you will have is a unique, impressive, widget ready theme to call your own. Now that is something to be proud of. The best thing about it though, t’s FREE.

Thanks Yvo, that’s fantastic!

I just have to decide whether or not I have the time, or whether I might be better off heading to RentACoder…
