A better layout of your blogs can definitely attract your audience. In order to convenient your audience, you should try your best to make your blog as easy to navigate as you can.

I have worked overnight yesterday to make my blog become my dream blog. All works have been done finally. That is a hard work for me, because of I did not have any experience of using WordPress theme before. Two years ago I am a blogger template user. Fortunately, I have learnt some HTML knowledge during that time. Last night the time that I spent was under my estimation.

If you were a new blogger without any HTML and Programming knowledge, making dream blog will be a difficult job. It is because there is nearly no free wordpress themes can provide what you need. That’s why some of the theme designers charge you and make you a dream blog. There is no such ‘free lunch’ in the world.

If you really want to make your dream blog without spend your pocket, there is a few things you can do.

1. Searching on the net for the HTML Knowledge about theme design

2. Searching on the net for the WordPress theme which layout is similar to your dream layout

3. Asking bloggers to send you their recent theme
As the above mentioned, I have used blogger template two years ago. Therefore I am already have some knowledge about writing HTML, the only thing I need to do is search the similar theme.
I have found out a great Free WordPress themes site. WordPress Theme Designer Provides all the thing I needed. There are 77 themes for you to download now. The theme design is great. Some of them can be said ready for you and nothing had to be changed.

The most recommend theme from WordPress Theme Designer is called Oracle Mag Theme. I have downloaded it and make it become my own design.
For an alternative, here is another site. WordPress Themes Hong Kong provides themes which are similar to WordPress Theme Designers.

In my mind, the following functions should be included in a blog.

1. Featured Articles Slideshow
2. For Money Making Blog, Space for ads banners
3. Subscription buttons

The one last thing. If you think my blog layout is good to you, don’t hesitate to ask me send the theme to you. It is just leaving a finger.
