Create your own themes

I am always on the lookout for new and interesting themes. Yesterday I found something quite neat when finally getting into my reader and starting to catch up.

I found this site from reading Pat Marcello’s blog and this post on Artisteer. Pat and I go way back and have talked for years.

This made me sit up and take notice. Pat is not a graphic designer type and if she is using this I figure I can too. The software is available at http://artisteer.com and is a paid software that creates themes. It has a demo you can use to play with but you need to purchase it to download the theme.

I have been playing with it and will be going over after this post and buying the license. There is a personal use at $49.95 and a commercial use at $129.95 with more options to use.

See having a unique theme can really set you apart and I have tweaked quite a few over the past few years but this was very easy to use and the time saving in having a theme already tweaked will more than pay for the license for me.

If you have been having trouble trying to find the perfect theme or you buy custom themes you may want to check this out.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed. Leave your questions for the Blog Talk Radio show on Wednesday also.

Have a new plugin that I will be reporting on tomorrow if there are no new questions. This looks neat but afraid it may be a slow down pig but will report back.
