How to select a good blog template

When selecting a new blog template, keep in mind the basics:

1. What kind of website you want to create? (business orientation, personal blog, forums, etc.)
2. Who will be your target visitors? (friends, students, adult, etc.)
3. What is the content of your website? (information, daily life, hobby, etc.)

From these points of view we developed to the next step by choosing the right layout:

** How many columns do you really need (for starter, just select two-column)
** Title, header, body and sidebar design
** Type of font
** Color patterns
** Easy to use navigation (site map, search feature)

I realize all this tips are not easy to implement. It's really hard and takes a lot of time and effort to finish. But not to worry, just keep changing and experimenting. You might end up learning something. Ask the visitors about your web design. Although you can not make everybody happy, at least you know what your visitors taste.
