Thanks for your comments everyone

So, SEO, advertising and user friendly or great usability are main items I guess. As is flexibility for dummies?

@April: Subscribe to comments is a plugin that you can install.

@Karen: your site looks great.

@Raymond: There’s an WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin that does this.

@Mark D: nice, going to test that!

@Mark A: quality posts are the core of the business!

For me, what’s important is that you should have a user friendly blog. The colors should also be considered. And the most important, you should have a quality posts to get more readers.

Hi Case,

Looks good and for all the right reasons!

One thing about the H1 & H2 decisions. There’s some proof now that G likes Hx tags because of their intrinsic emphasis of text, not just because they are heading tags.

Here’s an experiment: put together a post with some the text as custom H1, but formatted just like normal post text. You’ll find G doesn’t give it any extra weighting. But bold it or italicise it, and you have a winner!

I like the new look Case.
I’ve fiddled with themes on three occasions and each time it’s been a real headache. I asked my readers what they would like to see and of course got many and varied answers. It’s impossible to get something that pleases everyone. So now I please myself but try to keep things as clear as I can. I have a graphics heavy site so sometimes it can get a bit cluttered.

I’d be interested to hear how you go with the header approach though.

I haven’t found a WordPress theme that I love yet. I want simplicity and pizzaz. Of course I want SEO optimization. I also want colors that make my photos pop out, but I want an easy way to change the colors of various elements. I want it to be easy to change the sidebar boxes with ads, slideshows, etc. I want unlimited pages and sub-pages and a sitemap at the bottom. Mostly, I want a blog theme that includes options for customization that a dummy (like me) can figure out. Basically, I want the options that I had on Blogger with all the advantages available on the self-hosted WordPress.

For me colour does not matter… The first thing I notice is, that it has to be user friendly..

I prefer blog themes that don’t actually look like a blog.
