In a previous post I stressed the importance of getting the right theme for your blog. It really can take ages! I know… I’ve been there!

One of the major benefits of using WordPress is the HUGE choice of themes available from a wide variety of sources. However, it can also be a big hindrance. Can’t see the wood for the trees, too much choice, etc.

I am deliberately using an “off-the-shelf” theme for Blogging Crew to illustate how you don’t need to spend ANY money to get your blog looking slick right from the start. However, if this blog was intended to be my main source of income I would without doubt invest a little bit of cash in a “premium” theme to give the site real balls!

If you are really serious about earning money directly from your blog, or perhaps using it as a corporate website in its own right, I would strongly advise you to consider using a premium theme.

As the name implies, premium themes aren’t free. They are available from just a few pounds to several hundred pounds for a 100% custom-made job.

One of my favourite sources for premium themes is Woo Themes. Woo have designed some of the most cutting-edge WordPress templates you can find anywhere. They are beautifully presented with clean layouts, great colour schemes and excellent typography.

The themes can be purchased individually or, by joining Woo’s Theme Club, you can download multiple themes depending on your subscription level.

If you like the sound of what Woo has to offer, you can take a look at their portfolio by clicking on the banner below.
