I am extremely picky when it comes to what WordPress theme I use. Being an artist and a designer can do that to you, and for the past week I’ve been trying to find a new theme. The problem is I hate everything I see out there. I picked this current theme because it didn’t look like all the other themes and stood out. There’s a very cookie cutter approach to a lot of the themes on the net, even ones you pay for. Heck, I probably spent a few days looking before I stumbled upon this one.
The problem is, I didn’t realize this theme is not search engine friendly. None of my posts get seen by search engines. Sadly, I didn’t know this till after using the theme for two years. As my Frik comic comes to an end, I am merging that site into this one in June. This means all my “how to” articles will transfer over here, and I don’t want them to get thrown into the abyss that is “unsearchable posts” land.
So expect a theme change in the next week or so. Most likely what I’ll end up doing is using the theme my comics use, with a few modifications. It’s simple and clean and does everything I need. It’s no where near as fancy as this current one, but I have no choice but to change it.
EDIT: The latest WP update that came out today actually killed my theme somehow. This means instead of the revised look happening in a couple of weeks, it happened today. Things will be a little messy for the next few days as I get this all sorted out, thanks!
