    Yes! My designs are only 2 years old, but 2 years is a long time in Internet time. I’m thinking I’ll have to count on a yearly redesign – it’s kind-of like Moore’s law. Before I know it, a design will seem old after 2 months.

    Also think social tools have become key.. Blog designs that incorporate social networking tools help readers find other interesting blogs, people, points of view, opinions etc. This can make a blog a hub for a micro-network. I want to be a hub in my micro-network.

    These two reasons call for REDESIGN!

    Yes, I'm considering redesigning my blog. I'm constantly considering that. I don't change it very often, but if I could find the time I'd probably change it weekly.

    I redesigned my blog twice in '08… ugh, but I think I'm finally happy with it now, so no changes planned for '09!

    Just did a big overhaul of my parents blog –> http://robertandkaryn.com

    Not too sure if one should redesign a blog more than once a year – continuity is a good thing.
    When I see a blog being redesigned every other month – I feel like that person has nothing better to do…

    Now, I do believe that one should tweek their blog as needed and as often as possible – to better enhance the site.

    Cheers

    I'm working on redesigning right now. I need to find someone who will design or help me build a custom design because I'm banging my head against the wall on CSS coding.

    Already did it this year, because I needed an extra project to do that would get me out of doing some work around the house!

    Moved from Blogger this year to my own domain and hacked a free template ganked off the internets.

    In summary, yes.

    I redesign my blog continuously… little tweaks here and there all the time. It wouldn't work for every site, but I have really enjoyed this evolutionary style of design, at least for my own personal site.

    Ugh, I'd love to. LOVE to. But I don't know CSS and I'm broke, so probably not.
