So basically I'm thinking of either updating my current thematic child theme to the newest version and changing the look , homepage, colors and so on.

Or buy a premium theme that looks like this >

http://themes.lukespoor.me/SimplyInfinite/index.html << I really like the minimal look of this theme but not a fan of the light red colors. But overall this is what I want for my website.

Someone told me a few years ago that I should have did this for my site >

http://www.blue2x.com/blog rather than blog.blue2x.com and redirect it to http://www.blue2x.com

but unfortunately it was too late and I didn't want to mess up with the links.

1.) If I update my current thematic child theme to something that looks like the premium theme I mentioned. The new homepage with carousel , how will affect the url's of my blog ? For example blog.blue2x.com points to the main page of the blog, and I want the main page to feature a carousel etc, while the main page of the blog will be on another page ? Not sure how it it affect the links etc.

2.) Can you suggest another premium theme like this or a free theme perhaps that I can modify ?
