30 More Excellent Blog Designs

Advertisement

It’s not hard to design a weblog, but it’s getting harder when you try to achieve a unique weblog design. It doesn’t matter what weblog-engine you are using — frequently used themes tend to become boring over time, and they also don’t necessarily reflect the unique identity of the blogger.

To create an original design you need fresh ideas and creative design solutions. However, you don’t need to go too far with your design experiments. Basically that’s a close attention to finest details which makes a weblog stand out and gives it a fresh flavour and soft touch visitors can recognize immediately.

We’ve selected some more of them — over 30 excellent weblog designs with unusual design approaches; these blogs don’t only have a unique voice, but they also pay close attention to the finest design details.

  • You might find not all of the designs listed below beautiful; but that’s not what it’s about. They are beautiful in their own way as they are both well-structured and originally designed.
  • you can find further blog designs in the post 45 Excellent Blog Designs we’ve published before;
  • you can find even more designs in our Design Showcase section.

    I really like the collation of 30 excellent blog design, excellent effort and inspiration for many. I would also draw attention to DilKholKeBol.com for its simple and userfriendly design. I am entice to find first microblogging portal launched in India and for Indians around the world, allowing trans roman alphabets to speak anything and everything that your heart desires!
    I have been blogging at dilkholkebol.com for its popular hit, immediacy and high portability. For me and many of my fellow indian bloggers we find it as a communication utility platform and blogging has become social habit among us.

    We’ve gotten reader complaints whenever we use white or light print against a black background. So I would recommend against using any design that uses that type of color scheme.
