The Honest Way Blog has been around for several months now in this layout and format and it’s quite a pleasant place. But lately, there seems to be a bit of a trend around with many bloggers changing their complete template.

Is this really necessary?

Is it because there are now some very professional looking blog templates available with three columns? Admittedly they give you more space for advertising. Or more space to fill up with something, at any rate. Or is it just a case of the grass looking greener on the other side of the fence? Is that why I’m even contemplating giving myself a whole load of work in changing the entire look of this blog.

And if I change the look of the blog, should I then go the whole hog and change the look of my entire site? As the main site is something I built myself (taken from a free template but extensively re-written by me) it would be a step backwards to have the entire site built out of a WordPress template, because that would beg the question “Why did I go to all the trouble to learn how to build websites in the first place?”

Or should I leave the site as is and just change the blog?

I need some people to talk me out of this (or otherwise). What do you think?

Leave me a comment and let me know should I keep this blog the way it is or change it.
