I Am Totally Up For A New Theme
I was on Jasonboom.com the other day, reading the post called “Weekly Implosion: February in Review“. I must admit Jason is a very good writer and very knowledgeable in what he has to say. I ended up looking through his blog design and his theme. It’s quite neat and what got most of my attention is his logo figure and the bomb figures. They help create a strong branding image to his readers.
Blog Oh Blog Has Nice Free Wordpress Themes
I checked out his theme’s footer and saw the theme was designed by Jai Nischal Verma from Blog Oh Blog. I followed the link and landed on Blog Oh Blog’s website. They have some very nice Wordpress themes for grab. Some themes do require you to buy them in order to use them but most of the themes on their site are free. Jai’s newest design is called “Chronicles“. It is a very functional 3 column theme that is suitable for most niche blogs. It totally convinced me to switch my current theme to it.
Time For a New Theme
The theme design is great but I find the colors to be not my cup of tea. When I adopt the Chronicle theme, I will change the colors to a brighter color and add in my favorite red. 
I also find the RSS subscribe icon and the blog title locations to be mismatched. I think it will look much better if they switch places. It’s all up to me and I will test out the theme whenever I have a chance. I think I also need a custom logo to help brand myself. However, I will not use a cartoon like figure for it since everyone else is doing it now. Tyler Cruz, John Cow, Jason Boom …

Hey, thanks for the link and the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed my site.
The blogohblog template worked well as a foundation. I ended up modifying it quite a bit, and, as you said, created a custom logo. All in all I’m happy with the end result. Good luck getting your new theme tweaked to your liking!
