I just got my site set up, only one article up right now, rest are on my other pc.

Currently I'm using a rather plain theme. 2010 Weaver. Personally I think the feminine colors work well for the niche and I like a more casual look to the theme than a lot of the crisp themes I've seen... but I'm just really not a fan of what I have. Suggestions would be great if anyone can think of a useful one. (The banner color was because when my friend made it it was still the default color scheme.)

I feel like I'm getting a wall-o-text feel so I wanted to have my articles display as excerpts, maybe with a picture by them for ones where I have pictures. How would I go about that? I tried just putting it to view as an excerpt and it got rid of the paragraph and bolded formatting which made it look really bad.
