If your sidebar is too 'heavy' with silly buttons and such it makes it a really slow load for some people. If it takes too long to load or times out, we stop reading! This one- clean, quick loading. I wish more were like this! Again, not as a blogger but a visiting reader, a quick comment on sidebars…

It surely is a easy way to add everything else we want our readers or visitors to see. But will it be effective. We should think of creative ways to make our sidebar simple, effective, and still do all we want it to do. A sidebar to me resembles the blog's sidenotes or further ways of connecting.

I paid $70 for the theme at Site Sketch 101 and I've spent a lot of time customizing it and working to transform it into the site that you see today. The only three template clubs that I highly recommend are: Woo Themes (Which is where Site Sketch 101's theme comes from) Elegant Themes Theme Forest The bottom line is that you need to find something that is clean, beautiful, and really makes you look like you're a professional.

I'm looking at Theme Forest to overhaul my blog theme. Do you think its worth purchasing a theme versus just downloading one of those free layouts that I see all over the web? Whats the difference? Please note, I am a novice when it comes to html and tech stuff... and it doesnt help that I'm a creature of habit who is afraid to leave blogger bc I understand how it works now.
