    What platform is your blog? Is it a self hosted Wordpress blog on a domain you own? But I wouldn't worry to much about the theme just yet, it's easy enough to switch themes. I'd worry more about getting the content up and driving traffic to the blog. It's not the theme that will attract the readers. Put up good content and the will come regardless of the theme. The theme helps, but it's not critical.

    I think many blogger programmes such as WP allow you to change the theme.Maybe you should pay more attention to the content of your blog or other functions.People would be
    attracted by the contents but not the theme.As to the contents,there're so many choices for your choose.Make sure the content is attractive and updated in time.What's more,
    the domain name of your blog is also very important.Whether it's catchy or acctractive or not plays an important role in the promotion of your blog.Good luck.

    for a personal blog, it is sometimes free of topic, but still there are some basic rules if you use blogger or WP.
    If it is your own domain, then you need to think about an good niche, which you are interested in, only in this way can you be motivited to update it.
    wish u good luck!

    If you want to start a personal blog then Wordpress is the best platform to start a blog.It is free and even you can get thousands of free wordpress themes.
