Sadly, I'm limited to blogger's built-in templates, or ones I jack from other websites. I just don't have the technical know-how to build a sweet-looking page. I used to, back in the day--like back in '93! Back then I could whip up a webpage in HTML from scratch. Then people invented all these fancy buttons and menus and java scripts, and I quit keeping track. Honestly, that's why I turned to Blogger instead of just hosting my own site for all my little ramblings. Maybe someday, though, I'll be a Dooce or a PastaQueen and I'll need to have a kick-ass website. Or, more likely, someday I might just want to have a cool webpage, and might shell out the money for it.
Web Hosting Geeks has a big list of web hosters and designers that could aid me in that, if I chose to do it. Some of the sites are under $10 a month, which I think is really cool. I always thought it would be a lot more expensive. There are even some blog hosting sites that are less than $5 a month.
Not that I need to spend the money. Oh no. Most definitely not! But if anyone out there is looking for a place, Web Hosting Geeks looks like a neat resource. They even have a list of green web hosting sites that run off alternative fuels! Have a cool site and use renewable energy! Very trendy.
Poor hiring decisions.

It's not the layout, it's the content. Just because my site happens to look cool and refreshing, like being in a tube of toothpaste, I'd like to think it's the content that people come back for... don't stress the layout too much.
