How often do you put up new layouts?
One of the fun parts of maintaining a blog is being able to completely customize the look of it. Whether you self-host using WordPress or another platform, or you rely on Blogger, LiveJournal, or WordPress.com, there are tons of customization options. A lot of the free hosting platforms provide pre-made templates that you can edit. And if you self-host, there are many talented designers out there that have created free themes for you to use at your leisure.
If you find yourself short on time for design, one great idea is to come up with a fantastic look, and then just update its colors several times a year. This way you have a complete design that you’re familiar with and love looking at, but it never gets old because you can simply refresh the colors!
