I’m on a roll! You can never have too many themes for your blog, now can you? 
This one is WPRex – free wordpress themes. It touts itself as the “Best Free WordPress Themes For Free.” The themes are very nice. Many of them are the popular magazine style. I rather like the Elegant News and Magnalitus themes. I’ve been searching for a new theme for this blog (I have never found one that I liked *just right*), so I’ll be hunting again, when I have more time.
You can search by color, columns, theme topic, etc. No registration or login is required to download a theme, either (I hate that). Nice themes here, check them out.

I’ve been scouring the World Wide Web for Blogger templates, recently. I’ve come across quite a few websites that have extremely classy templates! I’m happy to see that Blogger users have more choices available to them today. When I was with Blogger, 10 years ago now, the templates were horrid, and there were only a dozen or so available. Today, users have taken it on their own to provide some great templates– and most of them are free. Here are some I found:
BTemplates
Blogger Themes

Blogcrowds
Instant Shift’s List of 120 of Best Blogger Templates Around
I also have a handful of helpful tutorials for Blogger users at The Older Geek blog, which you may find helpful.
Happy blogging!

Well, I took the plunge. To WordPress 3.0.
For you WordPress newbies out there, I remember the olden days, back… Ohhhh… TWO years ago before WP incorporated the automatic upgrade feature. Back then, we used to have to update our blogs manually. As in SAVE everything first. As in upload (via FTP) all the new files. As in “hold your breath and pray it doesn’t explode” updates. Nothing bad every happened to me, thankfully, (didn’t stop me from making billions of backups, though), but I heard horror stories about folks whose entire blogs self-destructed.
Anyway, it’s easier now. But the old terror still clings as I hit the “upgrade now!” button.
All’s well that ends well. I updated 12 blogs, and all are OK.
Whew.
Oh, and how is WP 3.0?
It’s OK. I don’t see much difference. They added some features that I don’t need, so its not much different besides the light blue color and the fact that my username doesn’t automatically save so I can log in (so I have to type it in each time)> What is up with that, anyway?

At least they’ve made it easier!
