Hey I was blessed this weekend with the funds to get web hosting and a domain name.

So I'm looking for a good clean wp layout since I will be going with self hosting. So could you guys having seen mine blog maybe point me to some themes. I will do some work on them to add some of the features I want but I just don't know were to find any and good ones at that.

I want clean but not like all stark white. I want some color and stuff. I'm really looking for that web 2.0 look so that will help me.

Thank you =)

Are you going to be creating your own theme or using one off the shelf and modifying it?

Probably using a free one and modifying it atleast for right now. I am aving some big problems if someone can help me.

Ok so I have my wordpress.org blog all set up but when I go to import my wordpress.com blog to it it's not importing everything it will import like 14 posts when I have like 90+ something.

How can I import all my posts,comments and categories to my new wordpress.

If there's a plug in let me know cause I will check it out.

Ok I got it to work. The default importer doesn't work so I had to install a different plug in which changes the code of it and it worked =)
