Let me say one word Daniel…color. This is my least favorite. Sorry Daniel.

I like this one, it’s plain but clean and easy on the eyes (mine, at least).

BIG, but better.

Going with David and Aaron here. It’s a little too big and not enough color for me. Not that it matters – it’s your blog – but you did ask my opinion.

I agree with DBM. This one is… BIG… and reminds me of old TV shows. Keep ‘em comin’ though; you might rock my socks off with a future preview!

This is a little bit drab. I still prefer #1.

Thanks for checking! For some reason, one of that site’s fonts doesn’t seem to be displaying properly on my system, but that doesn’t necessarily (totally) rule it out.

There are so many factors that come into going through these gazillion themes that it almost seems hopeless to wade through them to find one that would work!

I already do so many changes to any that I install that I’m almost tempted to put the time in to learn how to write my own. In fact, I would, except that I don’t have the time.

Well, there’s only a gazillion options, aren’t there? I just went through a few pages, but I really liked the one “loopy-blue-10″ that’s found under the “browse all themes”, page 2. I like the royal blue background with color breaks between the articles. That way they don’t seem to “run into” each other. I like the calendar/indexes on the right in a contrasting color (in this case a kind of harvest gold). I like the 2-column approach. And lastly, I like the way the “responses” are presented.

Having said all of that, I still like Monday’s preview better than Tuesday or Wednesday views! )
