First off, if you need blog templates please see

Cherry Pimps recently created it's own blog network. The truth I'm worried the affiliate model is dieing a slow and painful death, so it's time to increase our own internal traffic and gain more traffic for traffic trades with other programs. We started with three blogs and played around with it, then moved into creating a network. Currently we have fifty; We started about six months ago. It was fun to build, traffic is growing daily (like magic), and it's making us money now. Sweet. Others have noticed and asked us to build their own network.
If anyone needs templates or custom designs let me know.....
