Blogbuzz

I finally managed to take the time to come up with a new theme and came up with this one courtesy of Florida Rentals on the www.wpthemesfree.com WordPress Theme site.

After a bit of customizing some of the color choices, this theme now fits the kind of thing that I really like in a blog. It’s easy on the eyes, color combinations are easy to read without having to highlight text. It’s also a fluid-width design that automatically rescales when the browser window is resized.

Another good feature that I consider important for SEO purposes is that the content loads first and then the sidebars, so that the main post content will be higher up in the source code when Search engines spider the site. It also means visitors don’t have to sit looking at sidebars while the main content waits for them to finish loading. This way, if the sidebars DO take longer than I’d like to load, at least the main content is loaded first.

With the new theme in place, I’ll be getting about the business of writing here more often.
