Why choosing a WordPress theme is like choosing a wifeBy Lee

When contemplating what to put on this new fandangled blog of mine, I have to admit that I spent an unhealthy amount of time not creating actual content (which I am doing right now of course), but trawling the web looking for a WordPress theme that suited my rapacious needs.

It’s silly really, especially considering that the old adage “Content in King” couldn’t be more suitable than a site wishing to focus on writing.

But when it comes to beautifying your work online, it’s highly likely you’ll spend more time tinkering with CSS during those nascent first steps than creating the all-important content.

It was during this monotonous process that it hit me: selecting a new blog’s appearance is quite similar to another crucial and painstaking process – choosing that one special woman to spend the rest of your life with. Or until she tires of your crap and issues divorce papers.

The more I thought about it, the more I realised that there are more than just basic similarities between what a wife is, and brings to the table and your very own WordPress theme.

Shall we begin?By Lee

Quite understandably, the first post on a new blog often takes the form of an introduction. This blog will be no different.

My name is Lee Cash. That’s me over to the right there looking a bit ridiculous and a few years younger than I am now. When I find a more recent photo that doesn’t portray me as either half-crazed or suspiciously portly I’ll be sure to add it to the site.

This is my new site where I will chronicle my goal of becoming a paid writer. A bold claim you might say but, as I’m sure you’ve heard, writing online is the next big thing with publishers falling over themselves to give unexperienced new authors as much money as possible. If only it was that easy.
