Two themes I hate and one I love
When starting a blog the first thing you have to do is get yourself a host then install Wordpress. But after that you find yourself a theme. I have to let you all in on a little fact that I just made up, 95% of all blog themes that have been made look like crap. Now I’m not saying that these two themes that I hate look like crap, I’m just saying that I hate them (obviously a personal opinion and if you disagree let me know in the comments, this is a conversation).
First theme I hate - Brownie [live demo]
First of all, the name “Brownie” tells you absolutely nothing about what the theme looks like or is. The theme basically look like a modified version of the default theme. It has two columns (already not to fond of it) and features a beautiful orange, brown, green, and white color scheme (horrific).
The only good things about the theme is that you can easily change the header image and it is widgitized, other then that the only reason I can think of for using this theme is if you are making a blog for your business and it uses the same colors as this theme (but probably your best bet would be to change your businesses colors).
Second theme I hate - Midnight [live demo]
I am only going to make one point about this theme. Unless you are creating a blog about werewolves or witches you should look elsewhere.
Third theme, the one I love - ColdBlue [no live demo yet]
I really love this theme because I feel that it is very simple, very elegant. Simple header and footer along with what seems to be a extremely nice width (I hate super skiny blogs). But to be honest I can’t really explain this blog any better then the creator did:
“Here it is; ColdBlue, the theme I mentioned a couple of days ago (then unnamed) is now ready and available for public use.”
I do want to mention that I do know that my other blog CyberSurge does have a skinnier theme then I would like but I have been working on customizing a new theme for it for the past few days that might even show up as soon as this weekend.

You should be careful while pointing your accusing finger at someone.
It’s all just my opinion, some people like mustard, I hate it. It is just my opinion, if you feel differently that is fine with me, the whole point is to get discussion going. How can you have good discussion unless someone disagrees with another?

I’m quite amused by the comment you’ve made about the theme I created; Midnight. Funny thing is that the inspiration for that theme began when I spent time during the late hours creating it. And as fate would have it, bloggers on the paranormal have found that it was the perfect theme for their site. It really is a niche theme so it isn’t for everybody. I don’t think I’d even use it on my own blog to say the least :P
