    Something easy on the eyes.
    Not too dark or too bright.

    I look for easy to read obviously.

    Graphics that are easy to replace with my own.

    Sidebar on the right.

    Nothing too complex.

    What do you mean by that? (It's early...lol...maybe i'm being slow)

    I look for styles that are free flowing and not too cluttered with tons of crap...

    amount of columns doesn't really bother me, but I favor those ones that are unique...maybe one side column and then the blogrolls and other stuff at the bottom, or uniquely worked into under the header...

    I like mostly the slick, professional looking styles that aren't loaded with graphics...tons of graphics tend to be hard to make a style look good...but every now and then you can find one full of the right kind and consistency of graphics...

    I definitely look for a crisp, professional design, easily replaceable graphics, widgets enabled, and something that looks less like a 15 year old's blog and more like a business-oriented look.
