By request, I've taken a few screen shots of the templates that have been coded for the blogs. These screen shots don't show as much variation as you're likely to want in the column background color and the right column boxes, but they give you the general idea. You'll need to tweak the blog template code to change the background and box colors to what you'd like for your site.
