The WordPress Theme that you choose to use on your blog will heavily affect how popular your blog becomes. The theme that you choose to use will define almost the entire look and feel of your site. To enable easy administration it must also fully support Widgets and Plugins. For this reason I suggest that you spend time researching which WordPress Theme is the one for you. To help you decide which theme to use here are some features that I suggest you look for: -

Featured Content – Choosing a theme that fully supports the Featured Content Plugin will allow you to highlight blogposts on your Home Page and you can then add images to help promote them.

Featured Video – Find a theme that allows you to place a video on your home page this makes your blog more interactive.

Facebook and Twitter Integration – Select a theme that allows for easy integration with the leading Social Media websites.

Adverts – Think about banner placement. I would suggest a theme where there is a 468×60 Banner on every page in the top right hand corner and as a bonus find a theme that supports the very popular 125×125 Square Adverts.

Logo – Having the logo made available as a PSD file will allow you to easily edit it to meet your needs.

Widget Ready – Make sure the theme fully supports widgets as this makes it easy for you to add almost anything to your Blog Side Bar.

Gravatar Support – Allows your readers to identify themselves with an image when posting comments – this makes your comments look far more personal.

Recently I wrote a Blog Post discussing The Benefits Of Sponsoring WordPress Theme’s. The reason that I choose to Sponsor the Luxury WordPress Theme is because I believe it is ideal for Internet Marketing WordPress Blogs. The Luxury Theme meets all of my ‘suggested features’ as listed above. I plan to use this theme myself on future WordPress Blogs that I create.

There are what seems to be an endless list of sites that freely share or sell WordPress Themes. Here is a list of sites that I visit when looking for Quality WordPress Themes: -
Theme Pix

Also I suggest that you also use ‘Google’ to find WordPress Theme’s, here are some of the search terms that I use: -
‘Free WordPress Themes’

WordPress Theme Sponsorship is a little known but very effective way to drive long term one way back links to your site. The way this works is you pay an amount of money to a WordPress Theme Designer who then adds a link to your website to the bottom of the theme he (or she) has created. The link can not be altered due to the files being securely encrypted. The theme is then uploaded to popular websites that offer Free WordPress Themes. Other blog users can then use the theme free on their WordPress Blog. Remember that the theme contains a one way link to your website.

It’s easy to see how over time a high number of back links will appear all over the internet and they will all be linking back to your website with the anchor text that you chose.

So today I decided to put this to the test and sponsored the Designer link on THIS THEME at a cost of $33.

I decided to promote the URL – Free WordPress Themes using the Anchor Text of Free WordPress Themes. My plan is to now offer the theme on my blog as a free download.

Tomorrow the theme will be sent by the designer to over 100 Free WordPress Theme sites and they will then all be sharing a theme that contains a link to my website.

If you want to Sponsor A WordPress Theme then head over to Digital Point. I choose to buy from KLO, I can tell you that he has delivered everything as promised and he also runs Theme Pix.
