Most of you might have forgotten that your 360voice blog supports custom style sheets. Stewart Bradford is the first person to send us in a custom CSS for the page. You can view it by clicking this link:
To create your own, simply pass the URL of your custom css into the blog page using:
http://www.360voice.com/blog.asp?
tag=<your tag>&
css=<your css>
If you create a custom css, send it to me and I will mention it in the dev blog. If we get enough of them, maybe I will create a style switcher.
Is there a list of what classes the site is using? I poked around the previous posts a little and was unable to find the original announcement for this feature.

Best bet is to do what I did when making the stylesheet above, simply copied the html source into a new document, grabbed the CSS file as well and then made changes to the CSS file.
It takes a bit of work to cross reference where all the styles are used but it's pretty well formatted and gives a decent amount of freedom, there is a fair bit of cleaning that needs to be done to the CSS.
I'm working on a Gears of War theme at the moment, bit heavy on the images at the moment so I'm spending some time trimming it down a tad, I'll email you with a link if ya want Trap :)

As for how to create a design, do exactly as Stewart says... I try and class my pages with as much flexibility as possible... and my css is fairly segmented. I tend to use lots of descending selectors to make sure that my styles aren't overly generalized and hard to understand... sure there is duplication, but that is for the sake of readability.
