As you know I have switched to another theme. I have grown tired of the poor quality, free themes. I’ve lost patience and I am willing to pay for a WordPress theme. I’ve looked through premium WordPress templates and I cannot find any themes that are good enough to purchase. Themes used on sites like JohnTP.com and NetBusinessBlog.com are excellent in design, and I know they were paid for, well NBB’s theme was paid for sure.

Every site that I’ve gone through, that offers premium themes, gives my the same listings of themes. These premium themes range from $49 to $60.

If you have a source or a site that offers premium themes then please let me know, thanks.

I’m sure I will Matt. Where did you get your current theme from?

I liked your old theme. Its was pretty functional and appeared, atleast vs blogger templates, to be adjustable. The only thing lacking from it, from my opinion, was the inability to search archives, but then again, maybe I just didn’t see it. I was thinking of switching from blogger to word press to have more control over the layout of my blog, but it will be some time before I actually change. I just started and have very little experience in coding required to make such changes. Good luck!

@v: Thanks so much, I got the theme I liked, and it was free.

@Shawn: if you’re serious about blogging then I advise you to stay away from free blogging services and buy yourself a domain and self host your blog.
