I had a commentator on my Time To Budget blog recently and decided to visit his blog. His blog is called Pro Money Blog and I have to tell you this is one of the best examples of customizing/modifying a free theme. Every theme I have used has been theme I have modified myself so I know the thought that goes into it.
Dennis, the author of Pro Money Blog is using the well known Wordpress Blogging Pro theme. I have to say I like Dennis’ modified theme much better than the original. Though there is a lot of thought and tweaking needed in self-modifying themes, it’s usually very rewarding to know that one, you didn’t have to pay for it and two it fits your blog perfectly.
Here is the before.
Here is the after.



























That IS a good transformation! I do want a different look for my blog, but learning how to customize and all that jazz is some hard work. I’m not a programmer, but the more time I spend on things like that, I feel like I am becoming one!
Dennis has done a good make-over of that theme and shows what the real passion of blogging can be to some people. In my opinion half the fun of publishing a blog is personalising the theme and keeping things fresh.
Great job here also on your updated “x-mark” theme - looks great!
Do you do customization for the xmark theme, I would like some customization work done to it. Sorry if this is an unappropriate place to ask.
Hi K.M. Dodd, Yes I did customize the xMark theme. I mainly just changed the colors. It’s fairly easy to change colors. Go to my contact page and send me an email if you need some tips.
