I am currently in the process of finding a nice theme and maybe edit it a little so that it does not look like most theme out there in the market. This may not be the final theme but I kind of like the clean look and the track back being at the bottom of all comments. It have the clean look.

What is most people criteria in looking for a theme?
It is important to look for certain criteria as you do not want to change the code too much, unless you are good with it.

1. Color – You always want to choose some color theme which suite your topic, it is most probably suitable to have dark/black background when you have picture to enhance.  But black background with white word may not be suitable for long posts.
2. Column – This is decided depending on how many plugins and advertisements you are planing to have at your blog. More advertisements may not look bad if you have organized them within your theme.
3. Fixed Width / Not – Fixed width will usually need some plugin like Batch Image Upload. This is because some wide image uploaded may eventually cover your sidebars. The same plugin may not help you in variable width theme, as when the viewer is having a small screen, all table will be reduced.
4. User Friendly – Navigation Panel for your website is important to make your visitor stay longer and may increase your loyalty because people find it easy to find information from your website. Choose something which is suitable.

Now I just need to look for a nicer picture and do some alteration. Any idea?
