Well, with wordpress and blogspot ( the one on the web site and the one we install it our self in our private hosting ), changing how your blog look is very easy now. Especially because they have themes to do all the work for you. The question is, do you change your themes often? How many time you already change it, and at what interval? Also tell me why you choose that themes?
As for me, i actually use a default wordpress themes, and although i edit it is script a few time, i never actually change the themes at all. I simply comfortable with the simple look and changing themes often will only confuse my visitor. How about you?

Actually, I run a few blogs and I never really changed the themes of them. My reason is simple: in my opinion, a good theme should be pick when you are building your blog, before you post it online, because once you have done that, you want to concentrate on getting traffic to your blog. If the few people you manage to get to visit your site will certainly, if they really thought that your blog was worth the look, try to go back and see want you have to teach, say or wath ever you are doing with your blog, but if you go and change everything again and again instead of giving your visitors great content, they will just never get used to your blog and of how it looks like. I personnaly think that when I visit a website and that later on, it has been changed, I feel confused or even just not as confortable as before, it could be a little , but still... You know it's just a question of perception, I think that people like what they are used to and I like to believe that you can give them want they want, but you have to think like the visitor! The best way to do this is to exagerate your thoughts and your impressions, it works pretty well for me! Good luck!

Yes me too, i actually never changed my themes. I try a few themes for about a minutes or so just to find out how my blog look when it is using another themes, but i end up just reset it to the first theme i ever use. I don't know, i simply doesn't like other themes or i simply lazy to edit the themes with many script that i already installed in the first themes. Thanks

LOL, well so you actually like me. Yes, i also make a few change of themes just to see what they do to my blog, but in the end, i always end up using the themes i have from the first time. There are many reason why i do it, and the most important of it because i already like my current themes with actually look simple and make the visitor become very easy and comfortable to read all of my articles. Thanks for sharing with us you experience using themes in your blog.

I'm using blogger for both my blogs. And i dont bother with whatever theme or color. My blogs are plain and simple.
Anyway the theme of the blogs is not important in search engine ranking. i am more concerned with visitors from search engines.
My blogs will celebrate their birthdays next year. Looking forward to it!

How old is your blog? It is the first, second, or maybe the 99th birthday? And yes, themes has got nothing to do with search engine result but it sure is great to have a blog that are easy to easy with our eyes and make the text in our blog easy to read. Thanks.

I blog for my life and my lovely princess so that I always feel that my theme is not suit my post. So I change it over and over from flower to fruit, from scenery to beach, from palin to abstract and from pink to baby theme. But this time I want to keep my current theme longer..it was bright green and chocolate colour..bit red and blue. I love it now!
