Hello Margaret, I am wondering if you are subscribed to this post. I tried to contact you via your blog, but the permalinks seem to be broken, so I couldn’t.

Have you got any info about Lyndi of Nice2All? She was there blogging one day, and from the next day she was gone.

Hope you are doing good, new theme is looking nice

I agree with you. Even premium themes are spread all over. One solution would be to hire a custom designer, (which is something I am seriously considering now), but that would cost alteast 300$.

Also themes like Thesis and Flexx come with lots of customizations. You should try one from them, with easy to handle theme options you can easily make a custom theme out of it..

I have no beef with premium themes, however it seems to me that many of them are the same frame with different graphics which seems to be cheating the buyer somehow.

If I pay for a theme, I expect it to be MINE. Not one I can see on 25 other blogs around.

At times, paying for services is always the better idea than spending time on learning and doing on your own. Of course, if you are going to go further with something and like doing things yourself, always try a hand first, thats what I do.

I guess you have to hire a designer for your logo, even if you are using a free theme, so that doesnt add up. I have worked with some other premium themes, but none of them came with the included logo files. Elhegant themes have all that, so if you know how to edit a potoshop file, you can do it yourself.

Again as you said, you dont have to start from scratch with the logo too. You have a template to work on!

Its good to see you here, glad that you dropped by
Cheers…

My only beef with the templates I’ve paid for is they end up having a lot more bells and whistles than the simple ones I’ve installed myself (AKA too complicated for a simple writer like myself to mess with, hah). I end up having to pay extra to have them customized by someone who can make me a logo and what not to replace whatever weird one came with the template.

Still, even with paying someone to customize a purchased template, it ends up being a lot cheaper than hiring someone to start from scratch. It’s something I should do for my writing site.
