Can someone suggest theme to newbie who came over from blogger?

    I have been blogging at google for a year and decided to try wordpress after quite a bit about it.

    My problem is choosing a theme similar to mine at google. Basically I had a sidebar on left, text in the middle, nothing on right side. I had a picture at the top,etc.

    Using this notepad theme and can’t figure out the process to add a photo at the top, maybe you can’t.

    Sorry to impose, but could someone take a look at my old blog, see if it fits in with a theme you may have seen?

    Old blog at:
    http://morongobillsbackporch.blogspot.com

    I know it’s asking a lot to go over to the dark side, but it would be much appreciated by this old blogger/bus driver.

    Thanks,
    Bill Mcdonald

    Have you tried the Themes Showcase? There is a demo site there and you can try any theme you are interested in. There is a searchbox for features. http://theme.wordpress.com/

    Thanks for this reply. I quite honestly was overwhelmed when I first looked at it the other day.

    I just was at my old blog, removing page elements, imported posts and comments into my new blog home here, and realized after I removed the page elements, how can anyone help me?

    So I am getting off to a rough start but I am sure it will work out- I knew that when I made my first post, the posting process is so much smoother and less buggy than with blogger!

    Thanks again,

    I looked at your old site and you had the featured picture out the back porch which was large – I picked the Themes that had the largest looking images below.

    Ocean Mist, Benevolence, MistyLook, Pilcrow, Tarski

    In the Dashboard >> Appearance >> Themes

    You can sort them A – Z if you want to find them easier – most Themes have a Sidebar.

    Good Luck

    Thanks for this, I checked out the themes, will try the pilcro as you suggested, decided to go to a new picture more in line with the 770 x 220 pixel requirements.

    A new look, new home, maybe it will help prevent writer’s block.
