10 Things you should consider before using WordPress Themes Free!

From what I've seen others make money online from the notorious art blogs, I've read tons of blog blows all about making tons of money online, and now wants some of that apple too ...

So invest your hard earned cash on some web hosting and get a new hot off the Press Blog with WordPress. They scattered across the web and find what you think is the coolest WordPress theme and looking for what is more, it's completely free to use ... Yes! You think to himself and began to download to use in his new blog. But wait!

Before you do, that tells you how you could make one of the biggest mistakes of all ages in their pursuit of successful blogs.

Let me share with 10 things you should know about using free themes "> WordPress themes, so sit down and read carefully.

1. Quality

How good is the quality issue going to use? It looks good on the computer screen what is the problem? More often, a free download of WordPress themes are poorly designed and disappointment of quality is reflected in the serious you are about your blog.

The theme could be the bee's knees, but, tragically, many of these issues can be miscoded striking, which may contain errors that can cause problems with the security of your blog and your blog load incorrectly.

2. Uniqueness

Thousands of free WordPress themes are downloaded every day, and the more likely you want to use will probably have been downloaded and used by thousands of other bloggers, so if you're looking for something unique and personal blog for your project, no opt-in for a simple theme, free.

3. Personalization

What about customization, forget it! Many of the free themes are designed in such a way that makes the options to make changes CSS. If the item is included with the documentation may state that there can not change the subject in any form or fashion.

4. Security

One of the biggest problems with security issues is free. Since many of them are developed by cowboys (no disrespect to the designers of topics genuine) that could contain code and scripts that you may not want in your blog topic. In addition to this free theme that many have not been updated since they were originally created and can be vulnerable to risks such as malware, hacks and crashes.

5. Features

What characteristics can be achieved with a theme? Normally there are not many in any case! Features such as dynamic content gallery plugin of articles or of the journal may be needed tweeking in the theme editor that to be honest, not worth the time or effort, unless you know what you're doing.

6. SEO

Another important factor is all SEO. If you want to generate traffic to your blog, SEO is very important, in fact, very important, and many topics free unfortunately, just do not come with any SEO tools.

7. Property

I remember once tried to sell a blog someone in real line, only to be kind and e-mail stating that he was not interested again, simply because if I did not have the subject. If you are thinking about selling your blog for profit in the future, do not use a free theme.

8. Branding

The brand is also fundamental in promoting your blog and of course make a blog more personal to you. You've probably noticed that many free themes to be really hard to load your own header or logo, and many of them prohibit any change to the footer credits.

9. Technical Support

Where is the technical support it? The truth is that probably is none. Typically, designers of subjects asked to contact if problems arise or if needed support and through personal experience are often never there to help.

10. Updates

Finally the updates, mentioned earlier that many free themes have not been updated since its initial publication in fact is true, not all but many of them. But Who needs upgrades ... I hear you say What changes? Security updates, new features, updates of scripts that make for better functionality, etc.

Having said all, not all free title = "Premium WordPress Themes"> WordPress themes are bad, but seriously now, if we're serious about making a real go with your blog and you've invested in hosting payment, why do not you want to go to extra lengths to invest in a high-quality premium WordPress theme too?
