  Hey everyone,

  I am slightly confused about how to design my blog layout. I would like it to be catchy and look professional. I really like the layout of this blog: http://www.chezpim.com/. I’m not looking to copy the design or anything, its just something that catches my eye.

  Can anyone help my noobish self?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Well, you could use the Sandbox-10 theme and customize it to your needs. You’d have to pay for the CSS upgrade and have CSS knowledge to style your blog the way you want.

  Having said that, you need to be aware that if you don’t have CSS knowledge, it is not recommended to buy the upgrade since there’s no CSS support here. The only help you could get is from members with enough CSS experience.

  Alternatively, there are sites/blogs that offer Sandbox “skins”… just copy and paste the CSS code and you’re ready to go.

  If you want, take a look at my blog. There, I have a few Sandbox skins and I just installed a new one. My blog can also be an example of the things (style-wise) you can accomplish with CSS.
