UPDATE:  Congrats to Sara (@sara3isenough), winner of the Temptation Designs blog header design!!

I don’t know about you, but the first thing I notice when I check out a new blog is what it looks like.  Does it grab my attention. Does it have a header that screams “Read Me! Love Me!”.

Having a blog that stands out is really so important.  I’ve talked to people who can’t remember the name of a blog but can describe that blog’s header down to the last detail, because it really grabbed them.  And if you have a cool design, people talk about it.  And when people talk about it, more people come to check out your blog.  It’s simple really.  It’s all about branding yourself these days.

Where it gets hard is the actual design of your header.  Lets face it.  Most of us are just not graphic artists.  And unless we want a couple of poorly drawn stick figures up there, we should not be attempting our own header design.

But that’s why there are amazingly talented people, like Sam, who owns Temptation Designs.  Her designs stand out in a sea of blogs.  They make you want to find out more.  And best of all – they’re not some cookie-cutter look.  They’re one of a kind.

Temptation Designs not only creates blog headers, but can do full blog designs.  And don’t forget the twitter profile background to match!  Oh yeah, they do that too.

The best part – the wonderful (and generous!!) Sam, has offered up a custom blog header design to one lucky BlogHer@Home winner!  That’s right, you could get your very own, one of a kind blog header for FREE.
