Yes, it's back. I have a horrible case of redesignitis, and this site will probably be the unwilling victim. In the past week, I've been tempted no fewer than five times to offer to redesign blogs for people. Why? I have no idea. I need the pain of wrangling more CSS, I guess. I didn't get enough wrangling miles and miles of it for work this week. What's wrong with me?

Maybe I'll start a charity... Redesigns For Ugly Sites. Maybe it should be: Redesigns For Sites Who Still Use MT's Default Templates. Yes, I know the templates are fine and it's the content that counts, but I'm not in a particularly sensative mood - so, come on people!! At least try to make your site look different/special. And adding that little gif that has the girl and the weather on it doesn't count.

So, here's the deal. I'm feeling weird and generous. Post a link to your ugly blog in the comments, and I'll pick the ugliest one to redesign. Of course, you don't have to use the new design. You also aren't allowed to whine about it either. You get what you get. It'll be fine and work and be reasonably standards compliant. No, it will not support Netscape 4.x or any other ancient piece of browser trash you have laying around your computer. It will work well in modern version of IE, Mozilla, Safari and any browser based on one of the above.

Oh, and it may not be fast. I may take a month to redesign the winning abomination. And you may get some unexpected features and could end up being a guinea pig for some new weirdness I want to try. Oh, and no stupid weathergirls! Is that enough rules?

UPDATE: I'll be making my decision tomorrow (5/7) and posting the winner tomorrow night. May the ugliest / most default templatey blog win!
