My blog needs a makeover

~*Belle*~~*Belle*~
in Baton Rouge Nesties

I found some themes for Wordpress so I'm thinking about a new one now. I also wonder if it needs a new title? It was originally about my life down here after living back home but it seems to have taken on a life of it's own and is all kinds of random things now. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I just like it as an outlet and a place to be myself.

So my questions: 

Should I stick to the living down south theme? 

Should I stay with Wordpress or go back to Blogspot? 

Does it need a new title? 

If I pick a new title should I pick a new description?

    Should I stay with Wordpress or go back to Blogspot? I have no preference here.  I think it's whatever you find easier to work with.

    Does it need a new title? I really like the title.

    If I pick a new title should I pick a new description?

    I really like your title and your theme.  As of if you should go to blogspot or stay with wordpress, just do whatever you're most comfortable with!

    I love your blog, I read all your posts!

    ditto all of this. I do think if you want more of a variety in themes that you should go to blogspot but I havent used wordpress so im no help with that one.

    I love your blog and blogspot/wordpress is a funny thing. It's like mac vs. PC...do what makes you comfy. I love wordpress and can't go back..never would imagine it.

    If you want to have cutesy free designs, blogspot is easier, IMO. I want to change my theme, but what I need to do in order to do it (besides the fug free wordpress themes) is confusing as heck! It is possible to do in wordpress, though, just takes some know-how, which I clearly lack.

    Thanks ladies!

    I took a break from it for a while and came back to it tonight and decided to move it back to Blogspot. I know it's not as "fancy" as WordPress but I don't like the WordPress themes and I want a pretty blog! 

    I updated it on WordPress and in my siggy so it should show up if you follow it in google reader. If not here is a link:

    PS: joeysgirl, I totally lol'd at "fug free wordpress themes" totally what I was thinking. And I used your example of Mac vs. PC in my new post :)
