To Lorrim: Thanks for the encouragement! Good to see it can be helpful. To Gloria: You'll need a Wordpress.com API key. This is given to you when you create a Wordpress.com account - just go to My Profile after signing up and it'll be there. You can reuse the key for multiple blogs. To Richard: A good point. Novelr is running on a modified Cutline theme - but what I fear is that most of the authors out there writing won't know how to code. On the other hand they can always force a nephew or niece to do it for them ... ;P Sorry for the seriously long reply: the real world caught up with me for 5 days or so, and I had no internet access.

One suggestion that I do have with regard to themes is that you can always customise themes that you download online (unless the theme's author says you can't). I never have time to write my own theme from scratch--but I can always find an hour or two to tweak someone else's! Of course, if you do this it's absolutely vital that you give credit to the original designer. By the way, you've put up some great posts lately which I've been meaning to comment on--been a bit busy lately, sorry! Good post there.

I am already using Wordpress for my own blog, so when Akismet asked me to apply for a Wordpress account, I did not want to. But I can't seem to get Akismet without it. What is going on here?
