Bought your web hosting? Want to quickly get up and running with a website that looks great and ready to rock?
Most web-hosting companies now come with "Simple Scripts" which is a service to install opensource applications quickly and painless for most people. It even creates the mySQL database and do the linkages from the app to the database.
Usually, there is a whole bunch of applications to choose from, but if blogging is your thing, there is Wordpress. For something more sophiscated, there is always Joomla or Drupal.
But installing a fresh copy of Joomla just give you the basic shipped look that most people get bored!!.. Afterall, you want your own personality to be stamped across all aspect of the site. Thats where pre-built templates come in. There are many sites with free templates available for Joomla, but they are mostly fairly basic.
Then comes paid templates, there are also many choices on the internet.. but I must say I'm most impressed with RocketTheme . They are awesome, especially the newer 2010 ones which are powered by their Gantry framework.
