Summary: Why does your blog suck? That's a question I have asked myself a million times over the years. It's not an easy question to answer. It takes time, effort and experience to build a blog that doesn't suck. Does your blog suck...? More importantly, It requires understanding your audience and understanding how to deliver your message, while also delivering a great presentation. Today on Blogging with Wordpress, I'm going to be talking to you about the importance of your PRESENTATION, your Wordpress theme and your writing. You would think that as long as your content is amazing, that your theme and presentation would be at the bottom of the list of importance. That's very incorrect. Content is king, but if your presentation is horrible and your writing is horrible, then you are wasting your time and setting yourself up for failure. TRUST me. I know from experience. I have created more blogs that suck then anyone else on the planet. My goal in this episode is to equip you with the tools and knowledge that you need, to not only create great content, but to present it in a way that wins. Notes from BWW 005 Recommended Themes Thesis - Great theme for beginners. One of the most popular, easy to customize, and use themes available.

The version that EasyTechSite is specifically using is Genesis Framework with the Genesis Sample child theme active. There are several themes that are offered.
