Everyone “should” know because it’s been discussed here and elsewhere a lot. If you see a WordPress.com Theme that doesn’t resemble the ones in your Presentation Panel, then this person is 1) famous or infamous, 2) knows the developers, 3) brings in enough traffic and attention to justify personal preferences and favors.

I’m against the favoritism shown, but money and attention-getting bloggers speaks loudly. Who wouldn’t want Scoble on your team? That’s good PR.

More Themes are coming out that allow for more customization, such as the ground breaking Regulus Theme I’m currently using, so stay tuned for more customizability. And if that is really important to you, then get the free, full version of WordPress on your own hosted server and do whatever you want. Remember, wordpress.com is free, so you get what you pay for. ;-) And the full version of WordPress is free, so you get even more than what you pay for with that version.

I’ve seen quite a few of them, ranging from slight tweakage to the themes on the presentation list (e.g. changing of the color of the banner) to using themes totally not on the list.

13. Realize in horror that you have absolutely no idea what you’re going to write about.

I know I did. Now I just write about anything on my main blog!

Oh, there should be a whole new list for how to move your blog away from wordpress.com when you want to use the “template” that you’ve spent 17 hours creating in Frontpage… ;)

I just had to blog about this. It made my day a whole lot better after reading through it. Thanks to Lorelle for finding it first. With the whole sense of newbieness today in regards to people driving buses like assholes, people reading blogs and thought it was obviously true and people writing blogs for no reason aside from dwelling in the past, I found the ironic twist there which still leaves me grinning like the cheshire cat [...]
