[...] My blog, along with two others, had been chosen by IZEA to receive an ‘Extreme Makeover’. Matt Blancarte from Unique Blog Designs (UBD) designed a new logo for me, he cleaned up the sidebars, adjusted colors and uncluttered the site, creating a crisp, very attractive, welcoming site. The compliments and comments from the Ustream discussion board and Twitter board were very favourable and complimentary. I love the new design and can’t wait to show it off! you can check it out on the UBD blog. [...]

First off, Heather your site does look great. I know exactly which one of my sites (think I am at 8now) I will be doing a custom thmeme with UBD for.

Mat – Seeings how you were there in this video,the second guy stated that if an add supports your content thats not really classed as an add. Example – If Heathers blog (BBC) talks about sailing and she has button ads for sailing gear and supplies – is that classed as an add? or an add that has value?

Never heard that before from someone.

What do I think? I think you guys are awesome!!!

The new blog design is beautiful and so professional looking, it may just help take my humble, personal little boating blog into a whole new realm!

Thanks for your many hours of work, and for helping make IZEAFest into such a tremendous learning experience for all bloggers.
