I'm looking into getting a custom theme, but those are surprisingly hard to find without dropping a lot of benjamins. It does break my heart every time I log onto another website and see they are using the same theme as I do. It's an icky plagiaristic type of feeling. I totally agree with you on skipping out on blogs that use celebrity header images. I’m sure there are a lot of people that would gladly take an Avril header image that is at least unique over my totally-non-unique theme, but when a 20-something uses celebrity images in a non-Perez Hilton fashion it’s hard to take anything they write seriously.

And then, this year, I decided I want to go to a three-column format. Gawwwwwwwd. I tried adding a third column but I'm not that web-savvy so I scoured for days until I found a three-column layout that was livable and then I spent weeks trying to get it to work on my testblog and then? When I imported it into my regular blog? All the little kinks and small things that pissed me off? Were fine. ARRRGH. Anyway. I can never, ever change my website's layout because of how much time I spent on it. I'm like that person who still has porn from thirty years ago just because I paid for it, dammit. (And I know people like that, haha.) I can't wait to see what layout you put up! I spent two days customizing the God of Gates theme.
