If you are a dummy or beginner blogger, you don’t need to pay so much money for a custom blog design like mine. You may buy a good quality premium theme, and make some changes on it so that it looks unique.
Do you remember my old post Say Hello To Premium WordPress Themes? They extended the 4 for 1 special until 31 December. If you are looking for a premium WordPress theme, you can get 4 premium themes for $70 from the WooThemes. If you can not afford $70, you may try one of their free themes. They are all very good quality and fancy looking.
You should ask your blogging buddies to collect the $70. 4 bloggers are enough. Each blogger will pay only $17.5. Then you will share the themes.
Good deal, right? One 4 All, and All 4 One!

- More Interactivity: Blogs will become more and more interactive. Videos will play an import role in this. Bloggers will learn how to capture fancy-looking and professional videos to differentiate themselves in the blogosphere.
