Sometimes you just want to, and really, for branding purposes need to create a supporting blog for a product or membership site. I just had to do just that. A few weeks back my partners and I released a new membership site called Get Referrals Fast.

One of the things we have just added is a training blog to keep our member’s updated and supply content to help them get the most out of our program. It will also serve as a recruiting tool. Providing quality content will help to build credibility.

The key though was to get the blog to look like the membership site. Adapting it could be a real problem using any of the themes I normally use that I know are solid.

Then I remembered a program I had bought and use on various niche sites called Artisteer. I was not sure if it would be easy to use to take a great html template and adapt it to a blog theme.

It turns out it worked like a charm.

There are lots of reasons to create custom themes but paying a designer can end up being quite expensive. So if you are a niche blogger or a website flipper you may find this to be a great savings over paying designers.
