Pimp My Blog!

Okay guys, you have to admit it, my blog’s design stinks! I just opened this account and grabbed what Blogger offered me. I worried more about the tools like RSS, email subscriptions, content, links to useful resources etc. I know nothing about blog skins and how to work them, so I left it pretty much alone. But I need to project an image here, and I want my readers to enjoy hanging around.

So I beg you, PIMP MY BLOG!

Is there such thing? I love that program on TV, Pimp My Ride and I see how they transform a piece of junk car and make look awesome and cool. Can someone have compasion on me and help me out? Listen, I know a little HTML and can manage good with websites but I don’t get this blog design thing. I read the 50 ways to become a better designer and it helped me some until the designers started with their design lingo that I haven’t learn yet. I also found this great tutorial from Tutorials by Jennifer at photoshopsupport dot com which I intend to dig in since I bought PhotoShop Elements 4 a couple of months ago along with the book The Photoshop Elements 4 Book for Digital Photographers but haven’t got the time to work with it. I also found this great site with ready-made templates. Don’t get me wrong, I love to research and to learn new things everyday but I don’t have much time, you know? Maybe some creative designer will like to take a challenge, heck maybe a few would and we can post a few layouts of their work and do a poll or something. I’m just rambling here, my mind goes faster than my fingers. What is CSS? I know I need to know about this in order to create something unique.

I love the feel of my 360 degree site at Yahoo! If I can duplicate something like that it would be great. Can I use the Page View and copy the source? I know that 360 degree Yahoo! Have features that my blog doesn’t support but I just love it! Anyway what do you think? Any suggestions, ideas, critiques? I have pretty thick skin.
