Free WordPress and Blogger Magazine Themes for 2009 - Plus Good WordPress SEO Tricks

Today is my day to play around with WordPress themes -- trying different ones on for size and SEO and blogability.


Smashing Magazine put up a great post featuring 100 WordPress Free Themes for 2009 (and some of those have a Blogger counterpart -- see BloggerTricks.com).


So while I play around with the "Skyye News Theme by Nathan Rice" pictured in this post, I'm also seeing how other people are using that very theme now to figure out how they get their pics uploaded on the home page like that.


For one of my sites, I've tricked out the Master Plan free WordPress theme with some SEO tips like wrapping your titles in H1 tags and such. (Nathan Rice has a great post up on how to do that, making your titles on WordPress themes more SEO friendly.)


He also has a big general post about how to make Wordpress more SEO friendly overall; it's worth the read and doing.


Another theme I'm scoping out is this TurnOut magazine free WordPress theme -- just click the pic for more info -- she's also got great-looking free Blogger Themes for 2009 that look better than any I've ever seen on Blogger, so I plan to play around with those, too.


I've searched all thru their documentation to try and figure out how to upload the pics (or where to put the setting) to get them to pull into the homepage, but haven't found out yet.


So stay tuned for info about the themes I end up using and loving the most...

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary . UPDATE: Before you read any further or especially link to this old list, please check out "Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007" by clicking here! ~ Thanks, PAULA NEAL MOONEY by Paula Neal Mooney One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor. Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

Digg.com's Autobury Secret Blacklist...Are you still being banned by automatic burying?

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
