<p>In this era of competition why do we need <strong>word press themes</strong>? Where everybody is in the race to establish their supremacy in the marketing industry, on the other hand the expectations of the consumers have increased. “MORE” is the call of the customers today, with quality, and that comes through <em>themes</em>. In order to be in the forefront, one needs to deliver quality to its consumers. Technology has placed everything on the tips of finger. One can get all the information with the click of a mouse, such as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">word press themes</span>. Be it sports, politics or any reference material on studies, the younger generation goes surfing on the net rather than going to the libraries and spending hours there.</p>
<p>themes looks and attraction have always been important. So, when it comes to surfing of websites, blogs should be designed in such a way that it should catch every body’s attention. When one is visiting a particular blog, they expect something new which is informative. In order to make the blog more attractive themes have been introduced. One should make sure of two things while publishing an article in the blog that is the language which one uses should be crystal clear and it should have that “MORE” factor when compared to others.</p>
<p>The reason why today people are emphasizing in making the blogs attractive with  themes is that, the more the attractive is the blog, higher are the chances of attracting people to particular website, and if that website is rich content in it, people may stick to that blog with <em>word press themes</em>, for a larger period of time and if they stick to a particular blog for a larger period of time, higher are the chances of grabbing that visitor as the client of that particular website. One needs to make sure that one has the highest number of people thronging in to check their website, one need to advertise about their blogs containing Word press themes, through television ads, newspapers and even through emails, to make people to know about their website and educate them about their website with the help of Word press themes, as to what different they have when compared to others.</p>
<p>Word press themes play a big role in leaving an imprint in a person’s mind. While writing an article one should make sure that the words they use are comprehendible by to others. When a person switches on the system to check any kind of information, from a website it is their Word press themes which should come to their mind first. If a visitor is happy with the content in a blog, he would certainly suggest the name of that particular website to their friends and near and dear ones for reference.</p>
<p>Word press themes has done wonders in terms of blogging a website and has shown all the traits of outdoing other business in the marketing industry. This has forced the people to think of something new apart from Word press themes which could make the sites more could make the sites more attractive and grab everybody’s attention in the town. In order to outdo Word press themes one needs to introduce a superior version of tool which can bring about revolution in the history of technology.<br />

<p>Once you have decided to write a blog on any topic, the very first thing that you would think of is selection of theme. A theme is a software used in building a blog. It has different templates in the background that work together to give you the desired look and feel for your blog. There are many blogging platforms that you can use for your blogs.  Do a little search and you can see websites of WordPress, Blogger, Typepad and many others. Of all these platforms, the one that stands out is the WordPress. </p>
<p>The WordPress is an advanced blogging tool that can help you create a beautiful website or blog.  It provides many features that enables you to make a good presentation of your blog. It has Administration Panels that aid you to easily compose a blog post, push a “submit” button, and be published on the internet on the spot. </p>
<p>There are some things to consider in choosing your WordPress theme.  Here are a few of them. </p>
<p>Determine your category</p>
<p>      The category will determine the kind of audience you want targeted in your blogs. For example, if you want to write about online businesses, then your category should be Business.  Other major categories include Music, Travel, Pets, etc. Knowing the right category  will help you select the right theme thereby saving you much time and energy in the set up process. </p>
<p>Your Favorite Designs and Colors</p>
<p>      Just like other people, you may also want to to have your favorite colors incorporated on your blogs.  In case when this may not be possible, WordPress can offer you other options.  However, a more important aspect is the layout.  You should decide what type of layout that you want.  You can choose from single column, two column, four column or fluid width. </p>
<p>Your Purpose For Blogging</p>
<p>      It is important that you determine the reason why you are writing for your blogs.  Do you blog to write about your thoughts on a specific subject, or to help other people? Maybe you want to earn some bucks.  Whatever is your purpose, you need to also consider other things such as advertisements, widgets, plug-ins like RSS, Good Protection, and Search Engine Optimization. </p>
<p>Good Support</p>
<p>      Before downloading a theme, make sure that you will get good support from its author.  This is for the purpose of avoiding future problem and headache when you need to resolve an issue.  If your theme was done by another person or author, he should be able to offer support when time comes that you need it.  Otherwise you will just be wasting your time installing this theme. </p>
<p>WordPress is a reliable blogging platform.  It goes to great pains to ensure that your blog posts appear good, your texts look beautiful and the HTML code it generates are in conformity with web standards.  Using WordPress for your blogs also protect your blogs from scammers who post annoying comments on your blogs. WordPress will allow you to use this feature, as well as the other features that will automatically update your blogs whenever an update is received on your site.<!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

		</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This tutorial can apply to WordPress blogs that are running on a self-hosted environment, this means that you have installed WordPress unto a web host of your very own choice.  But it doesn&#8217;t apply to blogs hosted on free WordPress.com accounts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Installing a WordPress theme can be somewhat straightforward. WordPress themes available for download from various places on the Internet are typically packaged in .zip files (i.e. theme-name.zip). By installing a WordPress theme that involves nothing more that simply unzipping the .zip file to the appropriate directory of your desired WordPress installation, and on activating the theme through your WordPress administration console.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Structure of a WordPress theme</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In order for you to get your installation of your new WordPress theme correctly, you’ll first need to understand the basics of how the WordPress system interacts with the themes you have. A WordPress theme needs three essential files in order to work correctly with the WordPress administration:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-        An index.php file – such file is the very controller of a WordPress blog. Majority of WordPress themes also have other PHP files that represent different sections of a WordPress page, however index.php is only the truly important PHP file.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">-        A style.css file – this file controls the very look and also the layout of the WordPress based website using the style definitions. It also contains the information that is used in the Manage Themes section of WordPress to display the theme name, version, author, and description.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">-        A ‘screenshot’ image – this image is utilized to create a special preview of the corresponding theme you have in the manage themes section of your WordPress administration. It can be any of the common web graphics files (png, jpg, gif), but it needs to be named screenshot.  Like for instance, screenshot.png, screenshot.jpg or screenshot.gif.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you’ve gotten your theme from a known designer that knows quite well what he’s doing, then you don’t really need to worry too much about making sure the theme is set up correctly. If ever you’re not too sure of it, then you might just want to double check that you have got the basic files that are needed for the installation of your theme.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WordPress Directory Structure</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The<strong> </strong>WordPress directory structure has three folders in its root directory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These folders are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-        Wp-admin</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-        Wp-content</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-        Wp-includes</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the wp-content folder there is a folder that called themes. Inside such folder is where you’ll need to deposit the folder that contains your theme.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s one example. Assuming I&#8217;m installing a theme for a recipe blog. The theme is called Recipe, and its folder structure looks like this:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>recipe-blog/<br />
index.php<br />
style.css<br />
screenshot.png</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This theme would normally be packaged in a .zip file. To use such theme, you would need to unpack the file, and then upload it with the use of FTP into my WordPress themes folder. If I have WordPress installed on my web server under a directory called blog, then the directory structure would look like this:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>/WordPress/wp-content/themes/recipe-blog/</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>index.php</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>style.css</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>screenshot.png</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How to activate a WordPress theme</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After uploading the theme to its right directory, you can now go to the wordpress administration in order to activate it. After logging in to the WordPress admin section, I go to Appearances-&gt;Themes.  As you can, that the new themes is then installed correctly and ready to bew activated, this is because you can it in under the available themes on the manage themes page.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By this time, all you have to do is simply click on the activate link that’s associated with the new theme. The new theme is then now active on the WordPress blog.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">If you’re doing some WordPress theme hunting, then here a useful checklist on the certain things you’d surely want to look for in an effective WordPress theme that would hopefully help you in narrowing down certain choices in your search:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tip#1: Check if it uses Header Tags Correctly.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is quite essential in an SEO fine Point. Header tags should be used to the maximum for optimal results.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip#2: Check if it has a Valid Code.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As much as possible, validate the default setup of your theme. If ever the chosen theme seems to have errors itself, then the designer probably hasn’t taken the best precautions in the theme’s development. Consider that the codes in the theme are very essential for the optimum results of your blog or site, so try to check this one thoroughly.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip#3: Do you think the theme is <em>So</em> 1990s?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A theme that uses tables, font tags, excessive inline styles, etc. (as opposed to external style sheets) will certainly bloat the file size of your blog’s pages, and this can increase rendering times, and eat up bandwidth more quickly than usual.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Basically, most of the popular themes should be fine on this point, but it’s some of the more obscure ones that you should have to check or ask about.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip#4: Try to See If the System Supports the Latest WordPress Features.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Always check for the theme’s documentation and check if it ever supports the newer version of WordPress features and functions like:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Tags      (added in WordPress 2.3)</li>
<li>Widgets      (added in WordPress 2.2)</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip#5: See if Your Desired Theme is Sponsored or Not.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sponsored themes are usually a thing to avoid when it come to SEO. If ever the theme’s website says something like the lines of “don’t remove the links in the footer,” then that should raise a red flag. In other words, don’t go for that theme.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip#6: As Much As Possible, Go For A Unique Theme.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you seek to create a visual brand with your blog, then you should try avoiding using the WordPress Default Theme or any other theme that everyone has already seen in some other person’s blog.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Search for a theme that isn’t used on an excessive amount of blogs, you can get a custom theme developed by some other programmers if you’re willing to hire someone for the job.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Tip#7: Make Sure the Theme Appears Good and Professional.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Its an essential thing to remember, that if the theme doesn’t convey a professional image (and if a professional image is important to you), then you should avoid it by all means, even if it means you’d have to go with another theme that doesn’t quite do all of the above.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking for that perfect theme that would fit you well is a little like shopping; it’s like an experiment, you can try some out, check what looks best, and eventually have fun with what you have.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In this article, you’ll be shown nine tips that can to improve your <a href="http://wpshout.com/category/themes/">WordPress themes</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Make your sidebar tabbed</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">One notable feature of the new WPShoutdesign is the tabbed sidebar. It’s actually simple; First, take a look at a couple of scripts, deciding on DomTabs. Next, look at a tutorial on ProBlogDesign explaining one way to incorporate DomTabs to get an idea on how this works. After that, integrate the code from the PBD tut and start styling your way. At this point in the design process, you should have styled some tabs on the PSD.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Create a widgetised footer that keeps visitors on the site</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Widgetising is not a new thing in the web, but it is often overlooked that you can do a lot with a nice footer. This field is basically made clearer if you can visit some tutorials. But to give you a summed up definition, here it is; ‘when someone finishes reading a post and the comments, they will probably now leave the site. Unless, that is, they come across some more interesting posts on the footer.’</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Display images on the homepage without custom fields or any additional script</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is one tip seen in WebDeveloperPlus – by using WordPress’ built in functionality to display resized images on the front page in the absence of a custom field. To do this, first, log in and on the sidebar select ‘Media’ under ‘Settings’. Then, on the page you end up on, change the thumbnail size and then insert the code on your homepage:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Create a featured content gallery with jQuery</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s a fundamental thing of any ‘magazine’ theme is its featured content gallery, and the new WPShout is not without a featured content gallery, using some lovely jQuery. One good content gallery one can use is WebDeveloperPlus, where you can see all the code etc etc. The code is quite complex, and to WordPress-ify it you’ll need two or even three loops, so that’s a tutorial for another time, but to give you a quick idea – the first six lines will need its own loop and you’ll need a second loop for the rest of the content.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Add (XHTML) valid social media links to the bottom of posts</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some people wonder why some posts are not saved in social bookmarking sites, this is becuase there aren’t any social media links at the bottom of posts. It’s actually simple to with a table and some nice images.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6. Use custom fields cleverly</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some custom fields can turn WordPress from a blogging platform into a CMS, if you know how to utilize them, you can make something very productive through it like the things as Chris Coyier could produce.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">One tip to this is that custom fields have great potential and when used correctly, can be the thing that makes your theme stand out from the rest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7. Display the most popular posts</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like the tip in number 1, WP-PostViews plugin is a really great plugin that allows you to show your site’s most popular posts. By simply installing it, you can then quickly show off your site’s best content, with it, you can prolong readers on your site.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>8. Don’t demand users have certain plugins installed!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s never advisable to have themes work only if a certain plugin is installed. As much as possible use an ‘If’ function and enhance the theme if certain plugins are installed, but don’t demand they are. Plugins are basically for the user to decide if they want, and not the theme author.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>9. Integrate a Tweetmeme style Twitter button to your posts</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Twitter is undeniably popular, by using the Tweetmeme button bloggers can promote Twitter RTs. Luckily, its an easy task to integrate such function in a wordpress theme, as is shown on WebResourcesDepot shows.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p>
