Blog Themes

Q: Is it necessary to make your blog design match your website?

A:Good question and one commonly asked. It really depends. Anytime a blog is tied to your business, try to go for a blog design that compliments your website or your brand.

This doesn’t mean your websites and blogs must look exactly alike. Find a color palette that would represent your brand and try keeping the basic color scheme. You can always play around with the header and actual graphics, but as much as possible, maintain a similar look and feel. Generally, it’s good for people to feel like they are in the same family of sites as they move from one place to another.

I’m on fire creating new themes! So, I’ve started a new category for free blog themes. Occasionally, when time permits, I may create a Blogger equivalent. To kick it off, here’s Bubbles. Made for WordPress™ 2.0, it’s also Sidebar Widget friendly. You are free to use it on any site commercial or non commercial. The only restriction is do not remove the link in the footer.
