Here a Template, There a Template, Everywhere a Template, Template

The purpose of this post is simple. I am sick of staring at my blog. It is time for a change. And as Peter Brady once wisely said, when it's time to change, it's time to rearrange.

So I call upon my fellow bloggers, readers, countrymen alike. I need to at least find a temporary solution to my dilemma. I started looking into pre made templates found on places such as Blog Skins, but I have found this to be quite problematic. Lucky for me there are LOTS of templates to choose from. Unfortunately, most of those templates suck. Searching for a useful template has become as fruitless as searching for meaning in Britney Spears' lyrics. Also, searching there can take hours of which I don't, Ok, I MIGHT have the time, but I still don't want to, k?

I did find a few templates I was interested in using, but I found customizing them to be, in a word, a bitch. I even contacted the creator of one template I was interested in for tweaking advice and found her rates to be out of my nonexistent price range.

So there you have it. I have already put out a few pleas for template design help, but for the most part that has gotten me nowhere. Now I'm thinking if I take it down a notch and ask to simply pointed in the right direction (as in where have all the cool templates gone and how does someone like me work with them?) I would be much obliged.
