I think I already saw this one over at Kirupa. Well, not much of a logo, the overall design is poor ( really poor ), it would have been a big hit back in 1993 but not in 2008. Seen much, much better blog designs, this one might be functional, but it's design is bad. Try surfing other blogs before jumping into doing a design, get some inspiration and continue when you have a clear vision about what you want to do and how you want it to look like in the end.

Good luck.
