Often I browse blogs where people claim to know coding. Now I dont know coding but I do know how to use seach engines, and often i find great themes to use on my blogs. But at the same time there are people that can code but they cant design. Some of them insist to design their themes themselves. This is one thing I dont understand. Sure you can code but you dont always have to code your own theme. Its not like you'll be a worse coder or php er or whatever its called. There are thousands of great wordpress themes starting with a great one and modifying it will benefit you much more. Using Wordpress also has way more benefits than struggling with your own stuff. My point is, if you can code you dont always have to, If someone made it available use it.
