   Hi there,

   there seem to be 1000s of themes out there i just have no idea! I dont want to purchase one and it not be what i thought.

   I am wondering if this lovely community can assist me with picking a good theme.

   I was somethign "travelly" otherwise just something similar. It needs to be somethign that can have pictures and writing as my blog seems to be made up 80% of pictures!! I would like to have menus with "Parent/child"/ drop down menus so that things look a bit easier and its easier to find thing.

   Thanks in advance!

   Sam

   The blog I need help with is travelkingblog.wordpress.com.

   The "1000s of themes out there" are for self-hosted blogs, not for wordpress.com blogs. On wordpress.com you can only use the themes you can find in Appearance > Themes.
   You can read about all the available themes and see them in action here:
   http://theme.wordpress.com/
   All the themes support inserting images. All themes with a top menu support dropdowns. Many of them support a header image (you can upload your own).

   Hi travelkingblog,

   As justpi says, on WordPress.com you are limited to the themes at

   however, if you change to a self-hosted blog, you might like:

   link to wordpress.org site removed

   However, if you are looking for more a personal photoblog kind of premium theme just go to the main site:

   link to wordpress.org site removed

   And I'm sure you'll be able to quickly find a theme you like; however, these are paid themes and would require you switching over to paid hosting - some suggestions on the blog part of the ThemeSquirrel.

   @themesquirrel
   Thanks in advance for not posting an WordPress.org stuff here as most who post here are new to blogging. Most have yet to master WordPress.com blogging and posting hire a webhost set up a WordPress.org install and use our WordPress.org theme comments simply leads to confusion.
