An example from Simply Fabulous Blogger Layouts:
Q: Lena, would you describe yourself and your work?
My name is Lena Toews, I created Simply Fabulous Blogger Layouts in 2007 to showcase all my FREE blogger templates. Looking out on the web, it was hard to find a high volume of quality blogger templates... so I started making my own templates in my free time. My simple goal is to create beautiful, stylish, and functional templates for those using the blogger platform. All the designs displayed on the Simply Fabulous Blogger Layouts site are FREE! I have recently started selling inexpensive pre-made templates for those who want a makeover but cannot afford the cost associated with custom work. All the proceeds from the sales of Simply Fabulous Blogger Layouts go to fund my adoption. You can find the collection of Simply Fabulous Blogger Templates pre-mades here.
Q: What do you like most about creating blog designs?
I love sharing my designs with others and giving others the look they want - that they would have been able to do themselves.
Q: What advice do you have for someone who is considering a blog makeover?
Determine a few things before just going and getting a cute design. Establish a theme and a goal for your blog (even though this may change over time). The blogs with a goal are the blogs that are most likely to go somewhere. Determine what you like, nothing inspires blogging more than a design you love and that portrays you. Hire someone with experience and a good reputation - they are the ones that take the time to get the look you want.
