What I love about blogging is the amount of themes available that means with very little technical skill you can almost feel like a web designer on your blog! You can tweak a lot, and there are some great themes out there with good options. I prefer to keep things nice and simple too, afterall you want your reader to enjoy visiting your site. <abbr><em>Chris Smith’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.premiumthemesreview.com/how-to-move-from-wordpresscom-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-blog/" rel="nofollow">How to - move from Wordpress.com to a Self Hosted Wordpress Blog</a></abbr></em> This is a nice round up of a blog design.
