Links would be great.

How does this sound?

It would be useful for them to do it. I realize occasionally a linked blog changed their theme.

Maybe a way for happiness engineers to program-detect when linked blog theme changes it gets dropped from the matching theme.

One of the themes is: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/magup

Thanks for any guidance.

I saw you purchased Chapters. Congrats!

Now you are a subscriber of the theme, if you have questions on the theme, you are now able to ask about it on the theme specific forum. http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/chapters

Good luck on your blog!

Now to get brave, jump in and try to figure out *how* to do it. A brain injury took away my "geek-ness" abilities. So it seems confusing and scary. I'm not sure which I'm sposed to do first ... buy the theme or open/start the blog first. (I already bought the domain name.)

Again, thank you much.

I've picked up randomly some sites that use Chapters theme here.

• http://thedammerung.com/
• http://roselight-publishing.com/
• http://kcleighton.com/
• http://mstopharmd.com/
• http://fashioncentsinvesting.com/

I hope it helps.

I have all sorts of questions about Chapters, specific to what I want to do with it -- post each chapter of my book, w/out dates. I don't want it to be a calendar sensitive site. My project is huge and complicated and I need something that will help me bring together the myriads of parts into a structured whole. Chapters *looks* like it might do that. When I'm done -- or perhaps when I have a certain portion -- I'll go public with it. But before I ask those more specific questions, I need to see how others are using it.

Thank you in advance to anyone who might be able to help me w/ this.

And thanks for the idea of doing a Google search, or a WordPress forum search for a theme. Nice one!

You can also use Google search to locate other users of any WordPress.com theme. Here's an example. I use Reddle on my blog. The footer credit links are: Blog at WordPress.com. | Theme: Reddle by Automattic. If I use that searach string in in Google Search the results will be others using the same theme.

You can also do WordPress.com forum searches by using the name of the theme. Example 1: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/twenty-ten

Happy to see a site (http://bakelovenotwar.co.za/) that does away with the ugly black nav bar - so now I know it's possible.

The search results tell me that 2010-themed sites - at least those sites whose owners didn't know how to erase the footer - all share a rather bland/fixed look and feel. But maybe that's not such a terrible place to start with my first site.

At least now I know I'm not overlooking some amazing resource within the 2010 universe of possibilities.

When in doubt copy the footer.

I'm a newbie to design. How can I locate other websites build with the 2010 theme, to get an idea of the possibilities for 2010 customization, and of different directions to take my site?

A google search for:
wordpress examples "2010 theme"

didn't turn up much.

Can I somehow search the source pages for the "2010" keyword?

I'm not trying to plagiarize anyone's content - the topic of my site isn't going to change. I am looking for general design inspiration.

Thanks.

Amazing what people think of in terms of their blog foci, custom header, etc.

Instead of the theme name, you can search for any other term on the wp.com forums.

...or the WordPress.com official blog which contains announcements for new blogs with demos (sometimes). Examples:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aen.blog.wordpress.com+Coraline

Hope it helps!

You could of course do it with a self-hosted wordpress blog as long as you had a good knowledge of MySQL and an appropriate scripting language. It would also be recommended that you are very familiar with the security issues involved and knew how to avoid them since you could open a huge door for hackers very easily.

I also think now I can use the google spreadsheet to maintain my data as new data is found. From the spread I can then seamlessly get clean html table code ( better the the verbose junk from MS excel) I then can then us the tweets & the good examples refenced by universalgeni and put updated table on site
