I would like a new design because…who doesn’t? Well, I have my own domain name, been blogging regularly for almost two years now so a new blog design would complete the deal.
Sorry for the crappy answer.
In short, I’d love to win!! But isn’t my chance so small because I’m commenter #1? Random number generator rarely gives the #1 at the top. (I talk too much, sorry!!)
Sandier Pastures’s last blog post..it’s hot and I have no iPod
I’d love a new look because my blog doesn’t even have a finished look for now
I’m a subscriber!
Your cute button’s on my sidebar! Thanks!
bunny’s last blog post..The KoolAid Mom’s First Giveaway Ever!
my second blog really needs a makeover because it is still a blogger template and super lame! Plus I can’t do it myself because I am technically challenged!
Tara R’s last blog post..Spray park fun
Oh lordie I’d love this – I was about to dive into the complexities of CSS for just this reason, all the time wondering to myself, “how am I going to find the time to do this well?” I use those premade layouts at wordpress and just keep thinking, “I wish I had my own header” or “I wish this was that color and this that…” But none of them really deliver what I’m looking for, you know?
Anyway, great contest idea! One of us bloggers will be one lucky lady!

Aaaand, I added that button, too! I love that you give the code right there, btw, talk about easy!
Jen E’s last blog post..Aloha Friday on Monday
This is a great giveaway and her designs so far look great!
I don’t really want a whole new design because I worked hard on mine, but I would like my current one tweaked…or re-designed similar but better!
I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to make all the changes I want.
Thanks!

I would love to win this! But, not for myself. See, my brother-in-law is getting ready to move FAR away to Minnesota. He needs a new blog design so that we all have something pretty to look at when we read about what he’s doing up there.
So, If I win, I would give this great opportunity to my brother-in-law!
Gina’s last blog post..School Days, School Days, Good Ole Golden Rule Days
What a great prize. I would love a make over for my blog because I am just starting out and still experimenting with things, but nothing seems to look right. I would love to look at my site knowing that it was done right and then all I have to do is add more and more content.

I could really use a WP theme for my name domain. I have owned that domain for a while now and have done nothing with it. I’ll either be building a website and adding on a WP blog to it or just using a blog. Not sure.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

i don’t have Blog yet! don’t know how to create one. I am not really an expert when it comes to webpage making. I hope you can help me.
I want a new look because I don’t think my current blog look does my blog any justice.
I would LOVE a new blog design. I have such a boring Wordpress one and since I am a scrapbooker I am never satisfied with my design. Always looking for something more creative.
Hotomom’s last blog post..Our Fourth in Pictures
I would love to win this – my blog is on a standard template and I would love something more original
marybeth i.’s last blog post..Updated Blog Directory – July 2008
I would love to win, my blog is boring and generic. I definitely need more personality…on my Blog that is.
Cathy’s last blog post..If you came to my house?
I have a wordpress blog I never use. Would love to update it!
Oh, I’ve been wanting a new blog design since I started blogging and picked a stock design. I know nothing about web design and can’t justify spending money on it right now…so I keep hoping I’ll win one. *Fingers crossed*
Oh how great! I started blogging a few months ago and it has become a new love. It has been such a great way to “meet” people, and I have actually met (in real life!) people through it as well!
I could definitely use a blog makeover though. I LOVE wordpress, but I am unhappy with the themes. None of them are “perfect” for me, so I find that no matter which I choose I’m always a little unhappy!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Allison’s last blog post..Paging Dr. Freud! ?Help?
I’d love a custom design. I could probably figure out how to do it myself if I took the time, but there are so many other things I’d rather do right now. Having someone else do it will be the only way I get my custom design anytime soon.

I’d love to win a new blog design because mine is pretty blah right now. I am just using one of the templates from blogspot. Thanks for the chance.
I’d love a look that corresponds to the theme of my blog. This would make it more effective, I think!
Thanks!

Megret’s last blog post..Holiday Hack – Hands-free sparklers
I would love a new look. I see so many great designs while I am checking out blogs and would love one of my own.
Cassy’s last blog post..Give Aways
I would love a blog design, though I’m sure there’s someone out there who would get more use out of it.
I have 2 blogs. One is for family updates, but the other is to connect with others out there who have been effected in some way by the seizure disorder, Infantile Spasms (IS).
We first noticed my daughter having seizures at 2 months old. I have no real idea when she started seizing. She would seize on and off for hours, sleep for 4-5 hours, then wake up and do it all over again. She was finally diagnosed with IS in December. IS is typically considered a catastrophic seizure disorder, with high probability of a severe seizure disorder in the future and high probability of being severely delayed for the rest of her life.
Since her diagnosis, it’s like we had to start all over again, not only with learning and milestones, but figuring out her personality. She slept for a good chunk of 7 months and is now more focused and aware.
I would like a blog design that shows off her sweet personality. I don’t know if her blog has helped anyone in their IS journey, but I sure hope it has.

I would love a blog makeover. Right now I think my visitors may be getting “lost” in the disorganized mess that is now my blog. My blog needs a major overhaul and this prize is just what I need. LOL.
Second entry request…
I posted about your contest on my blog @
http://kaliannah.com/makeover/
I am a mother of a toddler and infant is has somewhat lost her way. After having my second…I have found little time or motivation for ME! I am a 29y/o Army veteran, a fitness instructor, wannabee crafter, photographer, yogi ect. I am the epitome of what motivation should be! So my plan is to BLOG as a motivational tool for myself and for other mother. I just don’t know where to start. I have a domain name all set…but am lost from there as far as design is concerned. I would REALLY appreciate the help on this journed to discovering myself again. Thanks! And good luck to everyone!
I would like a new look because I am just starting my blog and would like something unique
Alison’s last blog post..Bella
I am need of a makeover because I am still using blog templates and free backgrounds. It would be so nice to have a finished look.
Ooh…I’m in the middle of planning a new blog concept so I could really use a makeover from one of the free ones out there that are on several sites.

Hotomom’s last blog post..An STL Summer Excursion
I just start to get into blogging. I need this.
I love all of the creative blog designs out there but sadly admiring good design is where my talent stops. My blog has put up with too many “homemade haircuts” and could really use a nice design.

Lee’s last blog post..Tackle it Tuesday–It’s the little things
I have longed for a blog, but the fear of designing it has held me back. Winning this design would open the door to blogging for me. Thank you for the opportunity.
i am new to blogging, very new. but need the help!
I would love this ,a different layout and the aray of all the images.Count me in to win ,great contest!!
I just started blogging a couple months ago. So far, I’m just using one of the WordPress templates for my page design with my own (boring) picture for a banner. I’ve noticed how many people have the same basic format as me (since they’re using the same mass-template), and I want to stand out more than I am right not. I need some pizazz! Your site is beautiful and I’m hoping to get some of that design-love coming my way. Thanks!

I just gave my blog a makeover with a free site’s theme and 1/2 the time it doesn’t even show up for the reader. I know it doesn’t show up for ME most of the time! So it’s very unpredictable. And I’m a scrapbooker, so I crave a visually appealing look that reflects my personality. I hope I win!!!
