What are you looking for in a WordPress theme? Are you the one that absolutely need DOM tabs, two columns and 125×125 advertising space? Do you want your tags to be visible on every post?
I wonder how many people use the DOM tabs anyway, I don’t think I have ever used it, if you don’t count the times I tested it out. But I do agree that it is a very good solution to try out if you want to clean up your cluttered sidebar.
So what do you look for in a WordPress theme?
Share your views in the comments and I will put together a little list on the most wanted features with a link back to your site (take the chance to get some link juice!).
I prefer widget compatibility, but don’t absolutely need it. My blog is more of a personal blog so I don’t need adsense optimisation.
Short list
- Some sort of header for clear logo display
- Easy, clear navigation
- Single column is fine
- Cross-browser compatibility
- Built in search box
I like plain and simple themes. But attractive as well.
