Free WordPress Themes Watch: Vistalicious
Daniel Scocco of DailyBlogTips.com released today yet another free WordPress theme, called Vistalicious. It’s a clean, simple 2 column theme with some customizations available, advertising ready and SEO smart coding. You should definitely give it a spin if you’re looking to launch a new blog or make some changes to your old one. Also, it looks like it has a very nice customization potential in the hands of a good WordPress designer/developer, so… start remixing guys (but keep the credits).

SmashingMagazine.com recently published two excellent blogging related articles. The first one is a great usage guide of magazine style themes, with pros and cons. If you’re looking to start a blog, then, their latest article which is a review of ten blogging platforms will help you make the right decision software wise.

David promises to update the list weekly and at the moment you can also easily suggest new entries through a simple form at the end of the list. I have a good feeling about this project, congrats David!
“Are you trustworthy?” is what Sonia Simone asks us on Copyblogger.com. She provides an interesting take on probable the single thing that all bloggers have in common, the need to gain the trust of their audience.
Problogger.net recently hosted a guest post from Mitch of Technipages.com. If you’re looking/hoping to join a blog network, then you should pay attention not to make any of the mistakes nominated in his article: “8 Reasons Why Your Blog Might Not Be Accepted Into an Ad Network”
