Starting a New Blog - Theory and Practice

I have noticed that when I write a “What I Am Reading Right Now” post, I get a lot of views and clicks. People seem to like reading about what I have read and my subsequent responses.

At the same time, these posts do not seem to fit the theme of my blog, “Reading By Example”. Yes, the posts are about reading, but they are more of a roundup of current events, a brief summary of what you might want to know as a relevant educator.

So here we have “Theory and Practice”. As of today, it will serve as a summary of what I am reading right now. It will remain separate from this blog, in that it has a tighter purpose. This blog will also be more open to sponsors, such as businesses and individuals looking to promote their product. Having just published a digital book myself, I can appreciate the desire to share our creations with a larger audience.

What look would you most like to see with this new blog? Here are my three favorite Wordpress themes:

Penscrach is apparently a very popular theme. It is free.

This theme is not free, but the font looks great.

Another paid theme, which allows for two sidebars and a small image next to the title for the blog.
