Here are a couple blogs that I recently designed. The first one is about "garage-saling," called "Garage Sale Gal" (that title might change though). This one was setup on Wordpress using a fantastic template by Ignacio Ricco. I just did the little illustration of a woman with her kids, carrying a bunch of garage sale "treasures" for the background and banner.

The second blog is 100% custom designed. I built this one from scratch on Typepad, a platform that I have become much more comfortable with, in contrast to Wordpress, which I only have a free account and have never really utilized for all its worth. "Sarah Drags Tim..." is a blog that talks about Midwest living and the great stuff there is to do if you just look for it.

These blog themes make a blog look more professional and are an important element in the success of a blog. If a blogger chooses to self-host a blog, it comes at an expense, and it is imperative that s/he spends the money wisely on quality hosting and a properly set up blog. After all, all of us would shun a dull blog without a good theme. Ideally, the theme must be associated with the subject of the blog, although some abstract themes can be utilised for a wide range of blog types.
