I noticed there are hundreds or even thousands of blogs themes online but I realized there are really lots of bloggers doing lots of wrong thing when choosing a theme for their blogs. So I decided to share some insides what you should look for when choosing a blog theme.
1. Use a blog theme with three columns
Why three columns? Because it will maximize the exposure your readers can view on your blog. If you survey or look at the top blogs on the Internet almost 50% of them use 3 columns on their blogs just that you did not noticed it.
2. Use a theme that has a at least a resolution of 1024 x 768 on your monitor screen
Because of LCD getting cheaper now a days and more people are getting more advanced computers, you should leverage on every space possible you have on their screens. To do that choose only themes that have at least 1024 x 768 resolution to get the maximum reach to your readers
3. Never use strange colors on your blogs.
Never ever use themes that are in black, purple or any dark color themes. Why? It’s hard for the user to read your text when your theme are in dark colors. Instead what you should be doing is use themes with light colors like white, light blue, light red and so on.
4. Have the navigation bar on the top of your blog
To ensure a good user experience for your readers always try to have the navigation on the top of your blog. This in return will instantly tell your readers you have much more content to browse on your website.
I hope if you realized you have a blog theme that doesn’t have these stuff you would want to consider changing your theme =)

And, surprise! You have all these on your blog and Atomic Blogging.
I have question about three columns blog. which you preferring to use three columns; sidebar 1 on left and sibebar 2 on right, or place both on same place (right or left)?!..
the sidebar must be on only be on the right side
Thanks for the answer!, I thought the sidebar must be on the right because most of people read from left to right, so the first look is the left-top (so to the content).
And I also found most of blog themes put the sidebar on the right.
if you have others reason why the sidebar must be on the right side, lets me know.
btw I’ve write a post about this topic, http://www.bisnis-net.info/2007/09/04/make-your-blog-theme-more-nice/
I would ad Keep the Look and Feel Neat and Tidy.
Also try and personalise your theme a little, a logo goes a long way, and don’t forget to have a little area about who you are, blog readers like to know who is writing.
Thanks a lot for the blogging tips. I am planning on starting some blogs to drive traffic to my websites and I would not have known these things if I hadn’t read it here on your blog. These are wonderful tips.
