Let’s face it, if you are someone that spends a considerable amount of time blogging you like to keep your sites look and feel looking as fresh and engaging as your content is. WordPress is definitely a user-friendly blogging platform both from the use and from the customization standpoint, but you still need to be familiar with some web basics (php, xhtml, css, etc.) to really get the most out of your blog. Unfortunately, the same low barrier of entry that makes blogging so appealing to so many can also be a large challenge for those who aren’t technically inclined.

Well, customizing your blog’s look and feel has just gotten a bit easier, even for the most design or technology-challenged, thanks to Yvo Schaap. A quick visit to his WordPress theme generator allows you adjust your new themes layout, settings, and colors all in real time and then export a widget-enabled theme in .zip format that is ready to be uploaded to your site. If nothing else, this generator is a great rapid design / development tool that can help you fast track the reboot of your site. Definitely worth checking out.

Hat tip to Lifehacker for the heads-up.
