I've been reviewing some new Wordpress themes for a new company, Socialebb Strategies and Solutions. In the meantime, I have some tired and neglected blogs that need a facelift, including my three-year-old The FAT Lady Blog over at Typepad. I have several blogs over there and at RealTown that I want to makeover, as well as the AR blog ... need to work with the Customization Tool for some branding effect. Looks like a busy week coming up ... lots of bloggy admin "to do's".

Here's the BEFORE at The FAT Lady Blog:

I will check it out, Fran! Sounds like you have a lot of makeovers...of various kinds...going on (between your health, work and blogs)! Wishing you quick success with all of them!

Frances- Makeovers seem to be something that most of us dread....but every so often it's not a bad idea to set the time aside as you have.  Nice makeover on the one you highlighted here.

They both look good to me, but that is because my blog has not yet left the "text only" phase yet.

Good luck Frances on your Blog makeover. Looks good so far. I see that you are basically editing your header & background colors which I did last week on my blog. Have you checked out different themes?
