26.2 Quest: Some Changes Are A Coming

I have been getting really tired lately of my blog template and decided that it is time to do something about it. Over the next day or two you will hopefully be pleasantly surprised when you stop by 26.2 Quest. I am looking for just a simple minimalist type template with nothing too fancy. Although I do web development by day I really don't want my blog to take too much time when it comes to layout and design...... I want it to simply be about running.

Speaking of running, I have been slowly building my mileage lately (especially while running with the kids, which means some days are started with running and ended with running) and have been feeling some of the pains that go along with it. I am hoping to break through these pains soon so I can move on to the next level.

Now for some excitement......

You will want to be watching my blog over the next couple days (and what better way to do so than subscribing or following) because I have something very cool that I will be giving away. This is something that many runners use, and I am sure many runners would want to get their hands on. I am not going to tell you what it is just yet, but make sure you tell everyone to stop by and be ready.

So, speaking again of templates, do you have any suggestions on where to find some really nice blogger templates?

I know whatever you come up with will be wonderful! :0)

Too bad I can't be entered into the drawing! I think it would be great to have one of those! Oh wait I can, I will just steal yours while you are at work!

Hey Tim, try woothemes. I use their stuff for most of my blogs and they're great because you can customize them to suit your look and feel. Looking forward to the new design.

Sorry but I'm not much help when it comes to the template. I just went with one of Blogger's most basic layouts and added a picture to the header. That's about as simple as you can get.

I'm excited to see your new look!!

i just google "free blogger templates" hah.

although, now you can go to "draft.blogger.com" (instead of blogger.com) and they have 4 new templates there that you can customize.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions! I did end up finding a template I liked and was able to get it up and going late last night. It is still a little rough around the edges and will take some more work, but it is already better than my previous template (in my eyes)
