I've been surfing with Blog Explosion for some time now, and so have been reading quite a few blogs. (I have found more blogs than I care to think about that I am now reading regularly, btw.) I think that a blog should be judged on its content and not the way it looks, and I try to do that, but I do have to admit that the way the blog looks plays a great part in whether I come back or not.
With that in mind, and the fact that so far I've been forced to use a blogger template, which even though is just fine, is the same as scores of others, I am getting my blog redesigned by the talented Mia at Ciao! My Bella. I am so excited about getting a new look! Look for my shiny new blog in the near future, and while you're waiting, scoot on over to Ciao! My Bella and check them out!
I agree that it should be content and NOT site design but so many don't bother to read they just look at the pictures. I certainly hope you are NOT paying someone to design your new look because it isn't worth it. There are tons of FREE layouts on blogskins.com. I change mine almost every 2 weeks free.

Mia did my site as well. I love my new site. I also happened to have the exact same layout as you when I just had a blogger layout. You won't be disappointed with Mia's work.

Looks and content both matter, especially with Blog Explosion's model. I like your site a lot now. Looking forward to its new design, but I already added you to my blogroll.

I have the most boring blog "look" ever, so I'll be checking her out. Thanks!
