Just a friendly suggestion... :)
Hi. New here to BlogIt. :) I've noticed that even if I use my own template for my blog, the big bar at the top with the Blog it logo is still there. Quite distracting when I load the page... and it threw off the template design, besides. I switched back to the default layout, even though I'd much perfer to use a template.
I am 110% willing to link back to Blog It. It seems to me, however that at $5.95 a month, one should be free to set up the blog in any format desired, without having the BlogIt logo show up in the top 1/4 of the page. I know of several sites that charge the same price as this one, without forcing their users to retain a big company logo at the top of the page. They simply request that their users provide a link back to the home site—discreetly, which does not detract at all from the design of the blog.
I'm sorry if there is a way to do this that I just didn't know about. :) I think this is a great site and I'm looking forward to blogging here.
