Changing themes.

[Trapper]

Do you think I should change the theme of my blog occasionally to keep it fresh or keep it the same so it is familiar to my four regular readers?

I would like stay with my theme unless you are not satisfied.

If it suits you keep it. Don't change it too often in my opinion. Of course, if you don't like it change it or tweak it. Great opportunity to learn CSS and maybe a bit of PHP.

On a similar topic I think Colleen's latest one is too pink!

[Kalina]

I think change it every few months Trapper... lol.

Grrrr! I knew someone would say that eventually Louis.
I may have to hack into your blog now and make it pink....beware!

I like the idea of sticking with your theme for the sake of visual recognition. I just changed mine drastically, but my new blog has only been up for a few weeks (switched over from blogger - eek!).

Anyway, if you want to 'juice it up' then have an icon or a mascot above the fold in your blog that changes up with seasons or events. Like Google and Yahoo do with their logos during holidays, etc. A cute idea would be to get a web caricature done and use that - or you could use a logo, or anything else. Could be fun

Note to self, better backup my website...

I say change it when ever you feel like it.

[Trapper]

Changed it. I hope those four regulars don't get upset.

[DarrenC]

I'd recommend this person for WP themes - very very talented designer. Check my blog to see what I mean.

[Kalina]

Nice choice, Trapper. Beccary makes beautiful themes. But I have to ask, where are the pink butterflies??

Darren...hmmm thanks!

[DarrenC]

Darren wants some trouble I see.

I was and am very very thankful. hehe...

[DarrenC]

Colleen, let's have a mud fight

Nope, I'm the thankful one :p

[Trapper]

Thanks, Colleen and Darren. I just felt the need. I'll see if I can incorporate some butterflies in there somewhere.

Once I get my own domain, how hard is it to switch for a total idiot like myself?

Ok, you just upload a theme to your themes folder, then in the wordpress admin, you click presentation and activate it, it's easy as pie...any pie.

Can't wait for the pink butterflies, I will wait forever!

[Trapper]

Either I wasn't clear or I don't understand. What I meant was, how do I move my current blog (theme and all) to my own domain.

I prefer Jello

[JuggoPop]

Nice theme dude.

You could do a mod rewrite - someone enters yoururl.wordpress.com but they are directed automatically to www.yoururl.eu

Nintendo is the expert on these things.
