listened to a podcast recorded at the 2005 BlogHer conference. the podcast was about blog design, and between lots of keep-an-eye-on-bandwidth and make-it-nice-and-usable yallayalla there was quite a bit of good stuff. i was really surprised to hear, though, how many of those bloggers were & are willing to hire a designer to re-design their weblogs.
