It took about an hour to put it all together, and a lot of that time was experimenting to see what I liked. That is one of the most enjoyable pieces, you can make changes all over the place and then undo them and try something else. I'm still learning how it all works and everything you can customize, but I am very pleased with it. I got tired of spending hours looking for themes and then another couple hours using Firebug to change it to my liking. Plus, far too many themes now have embedded "decode" functions and ROT13 text within them. I stay away from that junk. There's ways to decode it so you know what they're adding to the theme, but why bother? Additionally, I couldn't find a Halloween theme I liked. There only seems to be five of them out there and none of them work for me. It was easy to make that design and I'm sure I'll make adjustments to it as I learn more, but I'm pleased with the results. Putting that aside, I am a fan of all of those, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters and GHI and let's not forget Paranormal State. I just got to finish Season 2 of Ghost Adventures and the last two episodes in Tombstone and England were pretty unusual. I've been to the Birdcage theater, but now I want to go back. :) And that guy who lives in England in the house with all the witches? Yeah, he needs to move. :) Actually yes, I did that site with Artisteer. It took about an hour to put it all together, and a lot of that time was experimenting to see what I liked.

It's excellent work. I really like "Ghost Adventures". I am more of a "GhostHunters" and "GHI" fan but I do enjoy the others. Did you do that template with Artisteer? Scott Pete,

I especially wanted to make my own Halloween themes since the ones out there are complete junk. I find the software very easy to use and as you say, the more time you spend with it, the better you get at making themes. As mentioned it's not perfect and it can't skin everything, but you get well over 90% of what you need and the rest is just making fine tune adjustments to your specific needs. The software is pretty pricey but if you have a couple of blogs you work with it's a good investment. I just bought the full version of Artisteer so I could redesign several of my blogs.
