I think this is an excellent idea!
Oooo I would kill for a blog makeover! Pick me pick me!
I would luuuurve a famed Zesty makeover!! My blog is definitely due for a revamp and I love your “look”!
This is great! I’ve wanted to start my own blog for a while now but am so intimidated by all that’s involved. I would be so thankful to win and get some help.
My blog is kind of stagnant and I’m looking at wordpress – this would be perfect for me!
I think this is an awesome idea!
I think your designs are absolutely wonderful- very easy to read and they seem to suit the bloggers’ personalities to a tee
Great idea!
You have the most creative designs. I would be honored!
I love this idea, especially since I am in the process of switching over to self-hosting, which I know has more design flexibility!
Fabulous idea!
Great idea Zesty! You already did a fabulous job on Megan’s Munchies, but I am playing with the idea of a second blog, so I am going to enter to get a chance for you to help me with that one.
I am so happy you are doing another one of these! I was hoping you would. I would love to win a blog make-over :O)
This is a fantastic idea, as you will see by the explosion of entries. Hope I win!
I would love to win a Zesty Makeover!

Zesty,
This is by far, the best giveaway prize ever!!!! I can’t tell you how much I am crossing my fingers for this win. I was just thinking how I need to add some “ZEST” to my blog!
I love, love, love this giveaway idea! I was so bummed that I didn’t win last time … fingers are crossed!
Oh man, I could SERIOUSLY use a blog makeover!! I think the idea is a great one, and what a great way to use your talents! If I don’t win, how much do you charge for a makeover? I will consider it for the future.
OH, and I will post about this tomorrow!
I think this giveaway is the BEST idea EVER!
Oh yes please. You rock for doing this. Would love to win!
I LOVE this idea for a few reasons:
1. I would love to get a blog makeover by someone who knows what they’re doing
2. I think it’s awesome that you want to help other bloggers out by doing this.
Happy Friday Zesty and fam!
I would LOVE to win this. I’ve been wanting to do a redesign, but I am a little clueless, to be honest. It would be sooo awesome to have some help!
I think this idea is genius
I’d love a Zesty makeover!
I’m in..I read so many blogs and I would love to have one of my own..count me in!
Great idea, Zesty! I launched my blog a few months ago, and while it’s doing great, it could benefit from your clean design, some branding, and further personalization – fingers and toes are crossed!
This is great! Thank you, and thanks to Alisa for telling us about it!
You rock! That’s such a generous idea. Would love a makeover!

I love this. I wish I knew what I was doing but I don’t so I would love the help. Thanks for offering this to us not so technologically inclined folks.
I would REALLY love a blog makeover, as my little corner of the cyber world could use some help.
I sent you an e-mail last week with some inquiries, but I never heard back, so maybe this entry will do the job!
Thanks so much and I hope I win!
oh zesty, what an amazing opportunity!! you are too generous
This is a great idea Zesty! My blog desperately needs an update. Don’t believe me? http://www.oatonomy.com See what I mean?
I could definitely use your help!
That would be great- I would love to blog for a living someday, but I have no idea what to do!
Hey Zesty–this is a great idea! You such wonderful work in the blogging community in a lot of ways and it’s very generous of you to offer a makeover. I would love one. Have a great day
I love this idea because you did an amazing job with the Thinspired blog!
LOVE this idea! I need a new blog. Mine is boring and uninspired. Even if I don’t win I maybe talking about ideas. I want to heighten my blog exposure and really make it into a good blog, but am struggling to find my footing.
I think that this idea is like doing charity for the handicapped, hence I would classify it as PHILANTHROPY!!! I honestly wish that i wasn’t as technology unsavvy as I am, but I am.
And there are very few people like you who are both great cooks and designers AND are tech savvy.
Ok ok, so in one word, this idea is INCREDIBLE.
THANK YOU for at least giving me a glimmer/sliver of hope!!
too awesome… i’d do a majorly embarrassing dance and post it on my blog id i won this
in all seriousness… i’ve been struggling to find the right “feel” for my blog and would love some guidance!
This has to be one of the best blog giveaways! I’d love to be entered in the contest.. my blog is in need of a makeover! I’m not too technology savvy so someone with the skills to do a blog-makeover would be awesome!
I think that this idea is amazing! I have been wanting to make over my blog for quite sometime now, but I have no clue where to start! Thanks for the opportunity to get rollin’!
i am a long time reader but my “blog” is a bit of a joke…need your magic touch, eseriously!
I’ve subscribed, and I think this is a sign that I need to update my blog soon. I’ve been meaning to for awhile, but am not very tech-saavy!
This is just what I’m looking for! I need to move my blog to it’s new domain and I need a header and those are only the things I know need work! I’m sure you could help it look fantastic. (I’m off to subscribe and link back as well)
Love love love this idea.. love HEABs new look… and I need a makeover!
I think it’s very generous of you to give away these blog makeovers!
Awesome!! I’ve been really wanting to revamp up my blog – thanks for this opportunity!
