I should mention that I look for templates all the time for my blogs. I just can’t afford to “pay” a designer or professional blog template developer to create a unique template for me and my network of blogs. A lot of the times, I go to the “usual” places, search engines, Emily Robbins, Alex King, Wordpress .. etc etc ..
Not this time .. This time - I was participating in a community net-party like this one, Tuesday Night Mike Night, a few weeks ago .. and I saw this theme on the AdviceLibrary.com Blog.
By the way .. AdviceLibrary.com is an online article directory for both publishers and authors .. Check it out!
The theme is called … AdsMindedWide by Brian Sapiens of the Hi-Tech.
While I was “1-800-HART’icizing” this blog, adding my little bits here and there and started to play with the header graphic, CSS and more … my friend, the famous Joe Yanuzzi helped me out and created the above header (and about a dozen other choices too! I’d link his blog, but it’s in flux right now 
HART (1-800-HART)
This is how I described the new look on HART-Empire - June 7, 2006
No TagsI was bored .. and decided that the 1-800-HART’s Picks blog deserved a new look, since it has not had a facelift since its inception.
This is an experiment in progress. Based on my statistics, only 4% of its readers were using browsers with screen views less than 1000 pixels, so I have selected one that is quite wider and more suitable for showcasing products, and for monetization.
Naturally, it just made sense to try the Ads Minded Wide Version Theme by Hi-Tech
NEW LOOK - Version 2.0
Currently, it is a work-in-progress as I tweak the code and color schemes and ads and really “1-800-HART’ize” it like I normally do for all of my websites.
OLD LOOK - Version 1.0

Too “Apple”-like? I was looking for theme that had the links top horizontal. What’s that called in WordPress speak? I’m using Almost-Spring but I want one with a nice size header [Rin like] and my nav bar on top. From there I can make some minor changes. This is striclty for Pages-Type. Rin still rules for blogs. My yanuzzi.net/blog is still not there. yanuzzi.net/site has changed from Kubrick. Take a peak but I think it will go away when they restore the backup.
Good article…going to check those sites now. I also don’t make templates and cannot pay for them…thanks:)
Hi Jill .. there are a lot of templates out there that are free in these few links above.
I should probably make a list someday .. here’s another resource..

Viewing site from Public Pc and I can only make out the Ha on the far right of the banner
I’ve added to the footer today …
“Best Viewed” with a screen size 1152 x 864, color 32 bpp
“Best Viewed†on a Mac
I still think the whole blog should just have pictures if that green with the green sweater.
