I'm participating in Kelly and Stacie's Build a Beautiful Blog Week.
The makeover is more than just a design! It includes
- assistance in reorganizing your blog,
- adding new widgets you may not be using like Feedburner to allow people to subscribe to your blog, or Google Analytics to help you tracking visitor activity;
- but most of all includes a new blog design!
The design can be as simplistic or complex and may include any of the following: a banner, background, post signature, sidebar headings (titles), grab my button or other coordinating graphics you may desire. We'll chat soon about your new blog look!
Here are some samples of my work and they are all very different and unique to the customer. Enjoy!
- Connie's blog is fresh and clean, a light spring feel to it.
- Gloria's makeover is rustic and vintage and has all the bells & whistles.
- Kasandra loves bears and named her blog The Paper Den.
- Inspirational blog for Kristan is soft and elegant.
- Blog makeover for a realtor – Westchester Real Estate Talk.

I have done nothing to any of my blogs besides the beginner templates. Even a new banner would be a start for me.
A fresh look would help me establish a solid identity.
I like you ALL on Facebook
I sooo need this! I am a creative person but necc. a atechnical one. So I’m teaching myself the world of blogging, code? forget it! I want to learn but have NO clue! Keeping my fingers crossed..
I am new to blogging and would love to have a blog that reflects me, but don’t know how to do it.
I am following you on FB and Twitter.
Oh my blog needs help! I have domains on both WP and Blogger but am a total techy challenged person so I’ve opted to stay with the blogger template until I can get help.
Have pity on my readers….they deserve something better lol.
I am really looking to make the most of my blogging. I am new but am very interested in seriously pursuing this. I don’t have extra money to spend on this venture just yet so I am trying to make the best of the free resources I have available on blogger.
My blog is so messy looking and I am using a template from Blogger. I need a new look!
What I would like most about having a new layout – actually having the look of my blog reflect the content and my personality. The stock wordpress layouts can only go so far!
I need a facelift! well, on my blog that is. 😉 Probably irl too, if we’re being honest! mmm k? I would love a fresher look. More streamline and that reflects ‘me’. I’ve tried doing the whole banner thing myself and feel it is a fail. LOL I’d love a new look!
My blog could really use a makeover! I have been using pre-made designs for a while and I’d really like a design that reflects the theme of my website, giveaways and coupons so this would be great!

I am a little new to blogger and I’m sure I’m not using everything I could. I would love to have someone help me with my blog and make it look great!
I am a new blogger, about 3 months now! I have feedburner and google analytics set up, but would love to learn about any other suggestions.
I am ok with my design now, and am actually proud to have even gotten it set up, since I’m very tech challenged, lol. But I’m ready to get a new look, now that I’ve used WordPress a while, and have learned more about what I like and don’t like!
*Fingers crossed!* I really want to win this one 🙂
Oh my blog needs a make over so bad I have been blogging for just over 2 months and I really want it to look nice am just using a basic blogger background that looks terrible. A wonderful one of your banners would be great and your help on what widgets and all I should be using would be great 🙂
I would like for my blog to look more polished and professional.
My blog needs a new facelift. I bought your book and love it and am still learning but there are so many things I want to learn about blogging. I feel that if I liked the way my blog looked I would be more organized and more inspired to use the great tool that it is supposed to be! I need some colums and a signature. I have designed a beautiful one and can’t seem to get it to work right! I NEED YOUR HELP!
My blog is pretty simple and I have no idea how to fix it up. I’d love a look like your example for Gloria’s Makeover above. I can’t figure out how to put the grab my button thing on my blog either, So I would Love that. mommy2rylie@ymail.com
Would like a new look. Not sure if Tess will be in the new SU catalogue and would like a design that is suitable for all year round.

Oops! Sorry, thought when it said you could enter on both sites it meant this site too! SO SORRY!! Disregard all my entry comments! PLEASE!
I would LOVE to have a new design. I love my design, and the owls, but I would love to really make it mine.
I would love a consistent look throughout my blog that looks more professional but still fun!
My blog has changed over the past year and a half and I need my blog to reflect that change. I’ve been going through your portfolio and it’s spectacular! There’s SO much to see. I’m off to check out the watermarks!
Thanks,
Mimi
Excited about a more professional look for my blog…hope I win
Thanks!
I would like a more professional look to my blog
I would love to have a unified design (background, logo, buttons, etc) and a more organized layout.

I really want to win this. My blog is messed up because of something I did and I don’t know how to fix it. I would love to do a review of your work too!

I’m so excited about this giveaway, I’ve done all of the above except to tell them and to add link in a giveaway which I plan to do now. Thanks!
The reason I would love a new makeover is because I’ve just added google adsense and after seeing my blog and your site it is obvious that mine pales in comparison. I need a professional looking website.
I would really love a blog makeover for a unified design for the header, background, buttons, etc.
I need a new blog because I need to grow my business as I have no money to fund it as much anymore! I also can’t afford a blog service right now and need all the help I can get! I hope I win!
So many reasons why I would love to have a professional makeover of my blog. Number one reason is because I need a more professional and organized look. I have never changed my design since day one — how many years ago??? Just getting a signature line would be totally awesome!!! I so hope I get picked!!

I love the look of my blog already, but I am eager to see what widgets and other things we can add to make it more efficient.

I love your work and am very excited about this giveaway! I have been blogging as a hobby and recently made the decision to get more serious about my blogging. I just purchased a new domain and have been doing a lot of research in preparation. I need to do this on the cheap, so this giveaway is a great opportunity for me. Thanks!
I “need” a new blog banner so that is why I would like to win!
i’m a newbie to WP so i’d love to make my new WP blog a bit more user friendly for readers without me crashing the whole thing . . . thx for the giveaway!
I would love a new look for my blog! I don’t even have a header, just text for a header :/

I’ve been looking at doing a blog make over for a long time now. Keep debating between paying someone to do it or try to learn it & do it myself. The only make over my blog gets is updating the background and fonts for each holiday/season. Fun but not enough to show professionalism or consistency. Not sure what to do next. And how often do you choose to do a blog make over?
I originally hired Heather for my blog 3 years ago and it’s been wonderful! I would love to go from 3 columns to 2 and better organize the blog posts. It’s just need a little fresher look. I have your book but I am terrified of doing it myself.
I would love a blog makeover to look more like my personality than the design I have up does. Dark colors are hard on these old broads eyes, I love soft pastel colors and cute. I’m not too old for cute yet ;).
