It is quite difficult to find a theme I actually like and does what I want it to layout wise.
I notice allot of people go for the layout with just a snippet of all the posts rather that showing full posts and this is a good way for visitors to be able to get a quick look at a few of the posts rather than just being hit by a full wall of text.
I found one the other day with the snippets of posts I wanted and the design is readable. It isn't perfect but I am happier with it compared to all the other ones I checked out.
What do you think?

How do you find your perfect free theme or do you just find something that more or less does the job?

I like that, it is simple and clean and to the point. It doesn't have loads of stuff that isn't needed making it "clunky".

It is responsive as well so will look good on phones, the only thing I would change is when on a phone the menu doesn't stand out much so could maybe change the background colour to be darker?

If you need a hand changing it just give me a shout and I can help you out!

Ok thanks for the heads up on that. :)
Doesn't look like I can change that though. When I go to customize, it only lets me change the main background dark blue colour and not the menu colour.

It might be in the actual CSS file then :( Happy to have a look if you want me to, would only be a 2 minute job.

Thanks allot for your help. :)
I have gone and looked but the thing is I don't seem to have access to the CSS. There are no edit options. I can't view any page/header CSS code.
With my hosting provider I left it to them to manage and do updates etc so I think that means I cannot do any editing of the CSS Code.
I did have it before where I had full access/permissions to edit CSS etc but then I had errors and my Blog wouldn't update to any new versions hence I ended up having to move my posts etc to a new Blog this time letting my hosting provider manage updates and everything and this time all is working ok.
I am reluctant to go back to full access again in case it messes everything up again.

I assume you have FTP access, can you get to the CSS files there way?

Do you have cpanel with your hosting?

Yes I can get to FTP so can have a look and see if I can see the CSS files that way.
That would be a way around it. :)

Just realized that the menu is actually showing ok. When you look at it on a mobile the menu button shows up in white then when you press that all the pages in my menu show up clearly down the way so it can be seen easily and clicked from there.

I can't recommend the Genesis framework enough. It's exceptional.

Yes they do look good. If you are into buying a Wordpress Themes then they are nice as they are so customizable.
For me not really sure paying out so much for a theme is worth it. Also I find after awhile I do tend to get a bit bored of the same theme so want to change it occasionally so wouldn't want to have to keep paying more to get another one.
Least at the moment I can just look at the newest and popular ones and if I see something better I can just go and change it.
