Ok so you started a wordpress blog and now looking for a cool,amazing looking wordpress theme to make your blog stand apart. But you are low on cash, so you start looking for free wordpress themes.

And Everyone agrees that there are lots and lots of amazing looking wordpress themes out there up for grabs and their designers have been kind enough to provide them free to download. Also you must have came across those posts in the major design blogs where they list tens and hundreds of “cool looking free wordpress themes”. Infact that is also appreciable as those guys are doing the work for you.

I am pretty sure that you must be drawn to those ultra cool looking themes with lots and lots of graphics on them. But stop, you must think twice before using them for your blog. Those themes are high on graphics and mostly difficult to edit in order to suit to your needs. The original elements in those themes are so tightly aligned that, if you remove them or try to modify them, it will affect the whole theme design and might not look good in the end.

So, according to me unless you are deisgner or atleast with some decent knowledge on css,html,php try to stay away from high-on graphics themes. Rather choose a minimalist design which are easier to handle and edit. You will amazed to see how people are modifying those simple wordpress themes to look mind blowing just because they were easier to modify and play around with.

This is from my personal experience as i have been guilty of getting attracted towards those cool looking themes and then spent day and nights to get them work for me in a way I wanted. But in the end I always ended messing up the design.
