I am new here so don't have the "lingo" down yet. Sorry!

You were suggesting I use the Themes Showcase and I was saying that I don't find it helpful because for each theme there are specs (SPECS is the word I meant, not STATS.) I mentioned that I like to see visual examples and usually the SPECS I am interested in are not shown in the sample blog. I can read about the largest image size the blog can use but I would prefer to see an example.

I didn't mean to mention stats at all. Don't care about them.

See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

In additiopn to the wordpress.com stats program if we wish we can use non-Javacript 3rd party stats program. See also:

timethief thanks for the maximun image width info. That is a big help to point me in the right direction. Now at least I can narrow down my choices from a manageable group.

The themes showcase is not extremely helpful imho. (In case WordPress is reading this.) Yes, there are stats for each theme but I like to see a visual example and the sample blogs never seem to feature the stats which interest me.

See what you think.

Since I've posted a question and gotten your attention let's put this space to good use...

Is there another theme you would recommend over Fusion based on what I am asking for?

AND/OR if you are familiar with Fusion I'd appreciate tips for setting up the footer with my present sidebar info.

Thanks again.

http://nagababas.wordpress.com

and only one post showed with an arrow to the previous post.
Now I just pulled it up and both test posts are showing on the home page.
I'm not sure what's going on here but if I can keep many posts "stacked" (is there a better word for this?) on the same page perhaps Fusion will work for me after all.

I am getting frustrated with my search for the perfect theme. Please help if you can!

I am very happy with the look of my (journalist 1.3) blog
http://cathyscholl.wordpress.com/
EXCEPT for the fact that I want the images to be larger.

One of the theme wranglers recommended Fusion which has a wider single column. I just started testing it here: http://nagababas.wordpress.com
but already I see that only one post shows at a time. I would like BIG PICTURES where many posts show on one page. Is there such an animal? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Cathy
