Stupid advice?

Last night I received a request from someone to revamp her blog design for her. I wasn't actually planning to agree to this but somehow I felt bad if I didn't (I blame my Leo characteristic, LOL!). So I spent the whole night designing a new layout for her. Here's a screenshot of what it's like:
The layout I designed for Photogenic-sasa.blogspot.com
It came out nicer than I had anticipated. (The colours used were requested by the client herself)
Aside from that, I still have a couple of other stuff to sort out; like renewing my Premium Cbox, writing up a proposal for my Masters degree application, looking for a temporary job and getting a new phone (my current phone is in a useless condition right now).
I haven't updated my other blogs for over 2 weeks now. o_O I just don't have the mood to do it. Nor do I have the intention to return all the (piling up) comments any time soon. I'm just waaayyy too much of a procrastinator.
On another note,
I came across a blog whereby the blog owner actually wrote a tutorial on how to do CTRL+C. *winces* I don't know if anyone would actually need such tutorial. Apparently the blog owner feels that CTRL+C is such a complicated process that one actually has to refer to a tutorial on how to do it. One, of course, can argue that, "what if the person never used CTRL+C before?" But let me ask you this, if a person already knows how to navigate his/her way on the internet and arrive at a tutorial *winces* blog, knows how to create a blog, write a post and publish it, do you really think that CTRL+C is beyond him/her?
And if that doesn't blow your mind already, there's also a tutorial on the website on how to find the URL of images. The said person also claims that CSS3 box-shadow, accordion menu and various Javascript functions will only work on the New Blogger XML template. Lulz. And this is the same person who endorses marquee function, forcing custom cursor on the blog as well as using textarea to display the link-back codes.
Wow. *pours coffee on self*Labels: blog design, doofus, rants

wow. im looking for a new theme for my wordpress, yet i don't know who to talk to. i guess, you can help :D
Oh what kind of help do you need? :)
im noob in wordpress themes actually, it's just i have this theme, and I wanna revamp it and customize, i just don't know how :( here: http://true-luv.com/teste/?themedemo=baseantigo05
Ok, are you going to use this on a Wordpress-powered website. Is it hosted on Wordpress.com or self-hosted?
To edit/modify the theme, normally it will involve a few files: the header file, footer file, stylesheet and maybe the sidebar file. :)
its a self hosted dear. i wanna expand widths cause im using it as a photoblog. I just love that template :(
Ah I see. If you want to expand the width you'll have to edit the CSS in the stylesheet file. :)
Anything else you want to know? :D
CTRL+C? uhh... I think this tutorial will work if it was posted 30 years ago? XD People think that all the cool effects only work with the New blogger but I think if you know how to tweak it, you can use it with the classic one just like those blogskins that people submitted ^^
Lol! Very generous! Your layouts are gorgeous. :)

Other important information
Throughout the designing process, I may need to refer back to you for questions/opinions so do check your email frequently. This is to ensure the design can be done as soon as possible.

The designer
Kitty. 29. Blogger, web design hobbyist, compulsive shopper and bibliophile based in Brunei. Enjoys creating and designing websites, dabbling with HTML, CSS and PHP.
I've been blogging since 2005 (or earlier) though my experience with the internet started back in 2000. My main interest is in web design and development. Other times you can see me wrapped around a book or glued to Astronomy and web design magazines.
The website
This website was created in January 2011 and the domain was purchased by me in late December 2010. Initially the website was intended to house tutorials for Classic Blogger/Blogspot only however over the time it has developed into what you see today.
Several of the tutorials and articles can also be found on Nekonette.com, which is the my main website where I mostly blog about my personal life. Also some of the tutorials here have been moved to that website.
