Blogging has become very popular within the past few years. Even scrapbookers have started to blog and the number of blogging scrapbookers is climbing at an unbelievable rate. Scrapbookers have come to realize what the benefits of having a blog are and how to integrate these benefits into their scrapbooking world.
One of these benefits is having a daily "log" of their lives documented online. They can use the information they post as a reference for future journaling on their scrapbook layouts.
Another benefit is communication with other family members or friends that live far away. Let's face it, this is a fast-paced world we are living in, where time is of the essence. Instead of writing to each and every family member or several friends about what is happening in your life, you can simply suggest that they read your blog. There are blogs that have a password option, so if you would like your blog read only by friends, that is possible.
Some scrapbookers enjoy sharing their projects with other scrapbookers where a blog can really come in handy. Many blogs offer photo galleries, making it easy for scrapbloggers to get inspiration from other scrapbookers. To make it look like an actual blog for scrapbookers, some scrappers have a nice matching theme. There are sites offering various themes for different subjects. For scrappers, although, the selection is very slim. The good thing about themes is that you don't have to be a programmer to have your blog looking fabulous! You just select it and viola, there it is! Why pay someone to make something that you can already get for free!?
Most recently a special free scrapbooking theme was created for WordPress by SimplyWP. The theme contains scrapbooking elements in the header image and page elements. There are also two sidebars and a second sidebar can be used to list all your friends or to add buttons or blinkies. This theme was created in subtle, soft colors to allow your scrapbook projects to be the main focal point of your blog.
The above mentioned scrapbooking theme can be previewed at http://www.scrapblogging.net/?theme=scrapbook and downloaded at http://www.photomix.com/news/free-scrapbooking-theme-for-wordpress/ absolutely free. It's extremely easy to implement, so you'll have no fuss with it at all. You can show all of your friends what a cool scrapbooking blog you have almost instantly.
