[Ipg-smz] Building my TechManTalking website... finally...

[Jack Wallen]

Whatever them you use, make sure it is mobile-friendly, otherwise you’ll lose a significant audience. I’d highly recommend looking at some of the offerings from Themify. I use their themes for a few sites.

Their prices are very reasonable.

Free themes have been HUGE security problems, often wind up with malware that's delivered to your visitors, etc. At this point, only use a paid theme from a well-respected and proven supplier or one that is distributed as part of the WordPress installation. Anything else, unless you're very well aware of what your theme is doing, can be seriously problematic.
