Where do I find themes? Or, how do I create one?

Hello guys.
I'm new here, this is my first post ever in this community. I'm also a fan of flat-file softwares, I even built and manage a tiny flat-file blogging software.

I noticed Flatboard like five months ago and I loved it since. I was just wondering of creating a discussion forum for my blog. But, is there any place I could find already made (and mostly free) themes? Or do I have to build one from scratch? Besides, I would love to build a new theme that matches the style of my existing blog.

Thanks.

  WebPress is still in the "proof of concept" stage in my eyes (it doesn't have a nice look, but at least it uses standard Bootstrap components and could use Bootswatch to improve the look), I think this structure of the program is quite good ; after I modified a few things(for php 7.4 compatibillity), it feels very usable ; i hope you keep up the good work 😺

Hay, I am a web developer not a designer (were not the same), I failed art (not really, I am actually shocked that I haven't) 😉. I figure someone is going to say styling, I am not a creative person and a visualizer and it's hard to visualize what is "good looking", plus I am using PHP 8.2, not 7, so it's going to feel incompatible. Bootswatch only changes the CSS variables of bootstraps style code. Thank you for the feedback.

Also, I am updating the dashboard style:

  After testing, my personal opinion of Bootswatch themes that can improve the appearance greatly: Materia, Minty, Superhero, Zephyr
I personally recommend Zephyr as an alternative to the original Bootstrap

Also, the local server I installed on my own computer only had php 7.4 installed, so I had to "reverse fix" some things (wrote over things that only work on higher versions with lower versions) to get it to work on my computer; I will have to consider upgrading .......

  I would recommend using XAMPP 8.2.4 (current). That is what I use, and it works very well.
