I really feel bad for you. <br /><br />As a general rule for all people that are thinking about a new layout: Normally the designer only requests a deposit to get you in their waiting line. The rest and the final payment is either requested once the layout is complete ( you should see the final layout on a test blog) or when the layout is installed on your blog. <br /><br />This is how I do it, clients pay the deposit and I request the rest of the money once the layout is on the blog and the owner is happy. In this case both parts have a small risk but still in a way that no part feels bad. <br /><br />I'm glad you found now a designer that got you a nice layout!Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998128531860725536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885531650298029782.post-5862717036768896162010-08-26T11:14:06.396-05:002010-08-26T11:14:06.396-05:00I'm so sorry this turned into a bad experience...I'm so sorry this turned into a bad experience for you.

She did my layout and only paid $40 for it. She only took 3 days to create it and a minute to install. She now raised it up to $50, but I still think it's the best value around out there..<br /><br />I hope you get fixed it soon!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885531650298029782.post-68874809504460388742010-08-26T08:17:02.334-05:002010-08-26T08:17:02.334-05:00Always dangerous...

And since I didn't really have a firm idea on what I wanted, those two ladies put in a lot of work.<br /><br />I hope that you are happy with your new blog template!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075396524555306851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885531650298029782.post-34750102844604004382010-08-26T08:15:18.339-05:002010-08-26T08:15:18.339-05:00I'm mad on your behalf, what an awful thing to...I'm mad on your behalf, what an awful thing to do.
