Since there are a lot of WordPress themes in the market, how often does one blogger really change their themes?
My first blog, I changed the themes often until I found one that works. For any new blogs, I have the theme picked out before hand...I even started one just because a theme gave me ideas for subject matter. If it looks good, I don't change the often.
Sometimes, finding the right theme for your blog can be a difficult task to handle, considering there are a lot of choices to make... and tons of crappy ones in the middle.
I actually never changed my theme after installing my current one... changing a theme takes so much effort specially with magazine themes already being installed. Way too much work anyway... in my blog.. I say Content stays the King!
I have used some magazine themes also and you really have to customize it before it fully works. So much hassle, I can say. Tsk. Tsk.
I don't think it is a wise move to change themes often. You don't want to confuse your regular visitors...
It depends. I've never really opened up a website officially. But if you start off with one, build your site or blog up > Bring in a new site wide feature > Change colour and theme possibly to call your website/blog NAME v2 or so. Obviously not ALL the time but in gentle stages.
I seldom change themes, maybe twice a year max - I find it too much hassle modifying a theme. If I do change it's only when I've expanded the blog to accept advertisements etc...
I was just wondering too, do you use seasonal themes? Like if it is Christmas, will you also change your blog to a more "Christmas" look and feel?
I changed three times since I moved to WordPress a year ago. Not a drastic change though, as I tweaked the themes almost the same way. I mostly changed theme because: 1) The first one I picked was badly coded and I ended up with errors 2) The second one was good but I wanted a new layout I don't think it's good to change to often since a theme is your "window" and your "brand". I always try to improve small things (graphics etc.) when I can, though!
I don't prefer not changing that because users are used to be finding things at place. I can change the color schemes at times though
I do rarely change themes...my blog isn't new and I've placed a lot of custom stuff there,changing a theme means a lot of work to me.
