Mary's advice for someone who is considering a blog makeover is:
- really think about your favorite colors
- decide how "busy" you want your blog to look - themes, taglines
- the better prepared you are when you approach a designer, the easier the process becomes.
TWO lucky winners will receive a Level 3 Design Package (a $75 value) containing a 2 or 3 Column Template; Custom Background; Custom Header; Custom Signature; Up to 6 Custom Sidebar Picture Headers; Custom Font for Post Title and Sidebar; Navigation Bar under Header (text only).

I learned that her Level 1 packages are only $35. Also, I saw something she might want to change. She has "Your Ad Here" buttons on the sidebar, but when you click on them they don't go to a page which tells about how to advertise there (which is what I would think would happen if I clicked on one). She might want to change that.
