Who designed your blog?

Did you use a generic template? Have someone custom design it? How did you decide on your design?? I have a freebie template right now but really want something my own! Most blogs I've visited don't list the designer anywhere so I'm wondering if all you people with these great blogs are talented in the designing aspect too??? If so....pffftttt! lol

I only wish I was that talented LOL I got mine from eblogs, they've got oodles of them and I even learned how to tweak it myself.

I wish I was that talented too! I have a free template on my blog. I think when I move back to the states in a few weeks I may get a personalized one.

I used a free template from www.bloggerbuster.com (the Super Custom one) and then I super customized it. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks, only want a few tweaks!

I had a free template for a long time, but wanted my "own" for a long time. I stumbled on Judith Shakes and that was that. She is awesome. I know she is booked for awhile, but I think she might be opening up this month - check her site. http://www.judithshakesdesigns.com/

I'm using the Minima template that comes with blogger & learned how to "spruce" it up from Blogger Buster. I learned how to go from 2 to 3 columns. I've searched all over for a template I would like & haven't found anything. I wish I was talented enough to make my own. ;o)

Mine's temporarily just a blogger template that I personalized a little.

My hubby is a web developer and designer and while I'm not a graphic designer, I have a fairly good eye for it. So in the past we have corroborated and he designs whatever is in my head. :) It work well. My current blog is way overdue for a new design but he's soooo busy with work. Sometime soon though I hope.

I make my own headers and then adjust the colors to match. I use Photoshop and free digiscrap found online. I've changed my header about 12 times since I started in March...i'm OCD like that.

Katy from kissmycode.com did my food blog minus the cowgirl, that was me.

My logo (cowgirl) was created just for me (even copyrighted) by kineticsolutions.com. I put the rest together myself.

I always use a free template and change it to my own though.
