UGH Blog page setup

Why is it so difficult to find an eye catching blog template with the page setup the way I want????  I have waisted so much time searching websites, my eyes feel cross eyed & aye my head hurts.  This is the template I found but I'm not crazy (well I am crazy for complaining over something like this) about it.  Do any of you have any suggestions?  I'm trying to learn the ropes.
