The time has come.
I need an overhaul.
It’s not for me personally, although I could certainly use one. But that might require sweat. And I don’t feel like going there right before Christmas.
It’s for this. For my online ‘home’. For Ni Hao Y’all.
My dream is to have it more functional. More ‘user friendly’. Basically just mo’ bettah.
I’m even considering moving it to *gasp!* WordPress. I know. I might just have lost my mind.
But that’s a whole ‘nother story.
Soooo, now’s your chance to jump up and down and nominate your favorite bloggy designer and/or wordpress junkie. I’d love to hear what sites you think are beautiful and functional… just point me in the right direction, my friends. And you’ll have my undying gratitude.
Ideally, this “someone” would be able to not only move my Blogger blog to WordPress, but could also make it uber functional. And completely beautiful. And have outrageously exciting content. Oh wait. That’s my job. Work to do, work to do.
I do have some design ideas, but not much more than that. Installing? Coding? Photoshopping? I’m a complete and utter mo’ron.
Hopefully the new year will bring a whole new Ni Hao Y’all.
I’ll be working on my personal overhaul next.
Yeah. Riiiiight.
I'm a regular mama. Who happens to have twelve kids.
Just one husband, though.
Oh, I think your blog is beautiful NOW! But as for suggestions? I have none…I am COMPLETELY inefficient in that area!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!!!!!!
Wish I could help, I need a blog makeover myself, but with our recent trip to the orthodontist costing us 11K, I think that the old one will have to do! I will look forward to hearing what others say…and BTW, I love your blog now~
Oh my gosh, I absolutely LOVE your blog as it is!!! It's my very favorite in all of blogland.
But hey, I'm sure whatever you come up with will somehow be even more fabulous!
I do basic designs but nothing like you would want….
Jen is a fellow adoptive mom and she does amazing work!! http://theartoflivingdesigns.blogspot.com/
OK – At first I thought this meant the big TA was FINALLY here!!! You crack me up!
I love your blog. It will be sad to say goodbye, but new friends are always good!!!!
Come on TA'S!!!!!
Hugs,

Two of my favorites!! Can't wait to see it.
Even though it is beautiful now.
I actually like it. I (gasp) don't like PW's because it is just too, too much. I get lost on it. I can't ever find what I just read.

Her button is on my blog.
I'm the worst person to give advice on this topic. My blog is so generic I'm in need of a blog makeover. Whatever you do will be awsome I'm sure.
Since you mentioned using wordpress, I wanted to pass on this template site, it gives you a lot of flexibility in the design and he has a lot of examples you can view of other sites that use the templates (mainly photog's), but some others like myself as well. http://www.prophotoblogs.com/
I am feeling I need a change not that i get anywhere near the traffice you do…
So I will be intrested to see what you come up with and what is around!
Good luck with that!
No suggestions because I am clueless and did my own with freebies.
oh, oh, look at this link!

she has a heart of gold and is designing blogs to raise $ for orphans and mission trips. she did my blog and was wonderful to work with. what am i saying?…i didn't really work WITH her. she did all the work for me and i was beyond thrilled w/my blog.
highly, highly recommend her. hope you all go check her out. her link is also on the bottom of my blog. check it out. you'll love it. if i do say so myself!
I have absolutely no help to give you on this subject…just wanted to say I love your blog now, but I am sure you will come up with another beauty as well! Have fun with it!!
I don't know anything about it really either. I love it as is too. I find that people do not comment on wordpress blogs but (not that t matters that much) but it is my observation. I like the clean look of wordpress better though. I wish you much luck in your endeavor. And a blessed Christmas to your family:)
Oh Stef, I'm sure you will come up with something fabulous. I love your blog, always have, always will!
Unfortunately, I'm not much help. My own blog needs a major overhaul, but it will have to wait right now!
pop over to my friend and fav designer @

i don't know if she does wordpress, but she is great to work with.
My favorite wordpress site is by far:

Jenna is a graphic designer – she is very talented!! I know a lot of her posts are protected, so you can't see her photography (she has a little girl from Vietnam and one waiting in China = cute!)
She does have a photography business – not sure about graphic design, but I'm sure she'd love to design something for you
Dont change it Stefanie! I love your blog!!
Yippee for your TA!! Won't be long!!
She has designed several with typepad and blogger. As Julie mentioned, you can see her portfolio on her site. http://www.blogdesignsbyalexis.blogspot.com
Hugs..happy you will be traveling soon. 
First, I love your blog. Rebecca did a wonderful job. Yeah, I think you can do so much more with wordpress. Ok..I have the girl…my girl.
Maybe because she is my daughter…don't know…but I think she is totally amazing. She amazes me daily with her ability, at age 15. I'm sure she would be glad to talk to you and if she can't do all that you need, she would tell you. Will be away from the computer until Monday.
