Too many can definitely be a problem and make a bad impression. Thanks for your feedback. Andy,

Your blogs audience is growing, so maybe there would be a possibility to work with a designer that would be interested in getting some promotion from your blog by releasing a theme through you. Just a thought. Daniel at Daily Blog Tips is doing this now. He's offering to pay designers (I have no idea how much), but who knows, someone might be willing to do it for free or in exchange for something else. Tay,

It takes time to develop another useful resource. I’ve thought about maybe creating WP themes, but we’ll see. As far as forums go, they can be great, but of course they need to be active. It’s pretty difficult to start a new forum and get people to actually use it. There’s plenty of possibilities. I guess it’s just a matter of finding and implementing the right idea." I think designing Wordpress themes is a fantastic idea. I'm not too skilled in that area, even though that is something I have always wanted to be able to do. There are so many advantages to designing themes because plenty of people will link to the theme, and you can also add your link to the theme's footer. I need to start educating myself a bit more in that area. :) Steven,
