I'm just browsing a few of the message boards online about blog templates and I am seeing that a LOT of people are having problems adding new blog templates that they have gotten from a third-party site.
A lot of people are also asking help because they want to have a specific or custom-made blog template done for them and they are asking around looking for someone to help them with that.
This might be a good career choice for someone that is good at making and editing blog templates and I posted about this on Rose's Working From Home Blog.
If you are good at making and editing templates then you should know that there seems to be quite a need for this type of service. A good way to find this out would be for you to look at some of the blog-related message boards where so many people are asking for help with their blog templates.
There seems to be quite a big need for this type of service and if you are good at this kind of thing then you should seriously consider making this a career! This is definitely a service that you can provide working from your home and the more better you are at it then the more potentioal money that you can make!

A Frequently Asked Question About Widgets Is......
How can I keep my widgets when I change my template?
In a word you can't! And this is especially true if you want to use a third-party template!
Actually it does make kind of sense because you have to remember that the third-party template that you want to use is not going to have YOUR widgets in it's template! The third-party templates that you are downloading / wanting to use are meant to be downloaded and used as is.
When you think about it what you would actually have to do is to get the person who designed the template to manually add your specific widgets to their template so that you could then download it with your own specific widgets.
I don't even think that this is possible either unless the creator of the third-party template would have to manually and piece-by-piece add your specific widgets manually because now that I think about it, the widgets that are on one's blog can be re-created within a third-party template but they will have to be added manually - and although this is possible it could prove to be a lot of work especially if one has a lot of widgets on their blog!
But I think I'm kind of straying from the topic at hand which is that if you want to use a third-party template AND be able to keep / add your widgets - you are going to have to have a back up copy of your widgets so that you can add them when you upload your new third-party template!
