			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think a lot of people make too big of a deal about themes. I read posts about how a blogger chose a new theme and how just Incredibly COOL (!!!!!) the new theme is going to make the blog. I disagree. Content is still king, and while the visual presentation can add to the enjoyment, it is content which makes a blog worth reading and coming back to again and again. Some of the &#8220;cool&#8221; themes I&#8217;ve seen actuallydetract from the info being presented, making them IMHO decidedly <em><strong>un</strong></em>-cool.</p>
<p>Basically, all a theme does is control the look of your blog, and (sometimes) makes it easy to add certain features, like ads, forms, lists, etc. So just pick a theme that looks good to you and lets you add the elements you want to your blog and be done with it&#8230; no need to make a big deal about it. Telling your readers how to set up a theme for a specific task is informative and useful. Telling them how cool your new theme is, is a waste of bandwidth.</p>
