Looking for a spontaneous, colorful, whimsical theme, or a way to make my own?
-
I really can’t find any kind of cute, colorful, original-ish blog theme for me… I just want a theme with a few bright, saturated colors and some doodles (hearts), flowers, or just abstract lines/patterns. WordPress doesn’t seem to have anything like that, especially not with two columns that aren’t extremely narrow.
Is it possible to create your own theme without having a thorough knowledge of wordpress or computer “language”?
Thank you!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

First off, DO NOT put a bunch of meaningless tags into the threads here. What is the meaning of a tag of “own” or “easy”?
We cannot use custom themes here, we are limited to the themes in the dashboard at appearance > themes.
Many themes have custom headers and also allow you to set custom backgrounds or colors. You can use the feature filter on the appearance > themes page, or use the feature filter at http://theme.wordpress.com/ and filter for custom header and custom background. You can also add images and such to the sidebars in themes to bring in color.
Past that, there is a lot that can be done if you have CSS editing experience and get the CSS upgrade.
