			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.blogconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/elegant-themes.jpg"><img src="http://www.blogconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/elegant-themes.jpg" alt="" title="elegant-themes" width="116" height="97" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-546" /></a>One of the selling points for individual bloggers to go with <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> over any other blog platform is WordPress&#8217;s community. The community that contributes to WordPress in many different ways: some help out in forums, others write plugins, and many design themes (also called blog designs). In this post I will talk about WordPress themes. The most obvious and popular place to go is WordPress site itself, where you can find a little over <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/" target="_blank">1,100 themes</a>. All of the themes listed on WordPress site are free, and come with a screen shot and a live preview.</p>
<p><span id="more-587"></span></p>
<p>Another popular resource for website designs as well as blog designs is the popular <a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/" target="_blank">Template Monster</a> where themes come with a download fee and are generally better quality if that&#8217;s important to you. My personal favorite would have to be <a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=3858" target="_blank">Elegant Themes</a>. For a small membership fee of just $19.95 you&#8217;ll have access to over 35 professionally designed themes. When I say professionally design I really mean professionally designed. The themes are simply stunning, well coded, well documented, and even come with a Photoshop file so you can make any design changes your heart desires.</p>
<p>For even more themes there&#8217;s always Google or the place called <a href="http://www.woothemes.com/" target="_blank">Woo Themes</a> featuring a number of different themes that come with a small fee. What most people do is buy or download a theme, and then hire a blog consulting company to personalize that theme matching their specific needs. This method saves them quite a bit of money comparing to hiring a blog design company to design one from scratch.</p>
