New Blog Themes - Whatya Think?

I know every man and his dog are Wordpress fans, its understandable as they've got some nice features. But I believe that those blogs are too samey when it comes features and they often over-complicate what should be ultimately simple.

The aim of my affiliate blogs are different to my clients' blogs. For me I like to get people in to the site and out to a range of merchant sites as quickly as possible. I don't want them faffing around with useless crap that doesn't add value.

However, I do know that my lack of design skills are holding them back and making them less linkable. So I'm hiring my bro (McCoy Digital) to do a few quick blog designs that can be quickly changed as I launch new blogs. Whilst keeping it flexible for a new blog (well starting to work on it properly) that will have all the social media, bells and whistles I need to make it a sticky site.

I know that I'll have a bit of a challange to SEO them, but I'll probably do what Kieron does and hide SEO text behind is main header image.
