The use of WordPress blogs has grown tremendously over time to make WordPress one of the most popular blogging software in the market today. WordPress is not only being used in blogs but in websites as well; both small scale and large commercial websites. The script has opened up the world of blogging to millions of people across the globe due to its simplicity and flexibility. Nowadays, blogging is not just a hobby but also a means of communication and of making money. If you are one of those people who have been considering taking onto blogging, then by now your research has indicated two necessities which are the need for a service that can host your articles and the need for a web host for storage and installing your service on. If you already know this, then your search might be coming to an end as WordPress will offer you these two things in addition to its user friendly features.
Perhaps by now you already know that appearance or impression of your website is very important to your visitors: which is why you will need a great template for your site. Fortunately enough, with WordPress you are on the right path as it is not short of templates that can transform your blog into your dream site. WordPress has an array of themes that can be customized into exactly what you want to get. You can also get these themes for free or at a small fee. What’s more, you can change these templates at will without the need to hire a professional.
If you need to use templates to enhance your site, then you need to know that there are two sites of WordPress; WordPress.com and WordPress.org. WordPress.com is easier to use and manage as everything is preinstalled and all you need to do is sign up for a blog but it limits you. You cannot self host your blog and you are restricted in terms of templates and plugins installations and site customization. This means that you are stuck to the same default themes as all other users and so you cannot achieve uniqueness.
The best solution in using templates to enhance your site would be WordPress.org. Though a bit harder to kick start, it offers you a lot of flexibility in that you can self host your blog and it is also possible to install any theme or plug-in of your choice to extend functionality. You can download themes from any site of your choice and modify them before uploading them to your site.
When you are using themes for site enhancement, take all the details into consideration. The theme that you settle for should complement your site and as such should depend on your niche. How professional a theme is will depend on how professional your site and content is. For professional content, go for more serious themes but for artistic sites such as photography or music, you can try something more relaxed such as themes with photographic backgrounds or musical backgrounds. All in all, the theme that you choose should convey the niche of your site to your visitors.
