  I am totally new to the whole blogging experience. I have looked around here and seen so many different and wonderful looking sites that make me want to scratch my head saying’ how the heck did they do that?’ I could really use some help, helpful advise or just anything that would make me look not so …. well, juvenille. please, if you have the time or inclination to help out a fellow blogger I would surely appreciate it.

  The theme K2-lite look very much like the one you use now. Only it is slightly more “convincing”. Less juvenile as you call it. You will have to adjust your header image if you choose this theme but the rest will transfer fine.

  Also: how about adding a search box? (Presentation -> Widgets). That way people will be able to find your posts. Your blog is already growing…
