Content is king! my first year and a half or so I used a free theme on my site as well, and it did just fine. I’ve since moved to a premium theme, and am glad I did, but mainly for aesthetic reasons. When you’re first starting I think creating great content is key.

I love tinkering with my theme at the beginning, but I slowed down since. By the way, Moolanomy started out with the Mimbo theme (free). I am certain that visitors would not recognize it as Mimbo since I rewrote over 50% of the theme since then.

If you are running a blog design business/interior decorating service etc then you might need a different kind of look since it reflects on your business.

For financial blogs – it’s all about the content.
