@Sudhani — Right, I figured that part out. What I don’t know how to do is take a photograph and give it nice transparent, rounded, anti-aliased corners like yours. ;-)

good article. although – most people wouldn’t want to go through all these steps. they just want to blog. and if they want to step away from the “cookie cutter” feel – then they hire a web designer like me.

If you like Woothemes, then also have a look at Obox – http://www.obox-design.com/. I do like their designs a bit more.

@Wade – I think the real advice is to make sure you have a large audience when you launch a blog. Not saying much is not a problem (just look at our 24-hour news media).

I was not familiar with Woo Themes until now. I am a firm believer in WordPress blogs though. I find them very easy to work with. All of the other items are very helpful and I like that most are either free or inexpensive. Thanks.

@Huji — I believe the EXACT quote is “Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.” (http://www.despair.com/blogging.html). But yeah, point taken. I wouldn’t advise anybody to start a blog before they have something to say!

@Sudhani — nice blog. How did you make the little thumbnail of yourself for the VCF card spot?

Great post, thanks. Can’t help being sarcastic though: stealing the phrase from Despair.com (which in turn paraphrased the famous Churchill’s quote ) about blogging – “Never before in history so many with so little to say wrote so much to so few”
