Top 10 Most Beautiful Blog Designs: Take Two

Design matters - as much as people argue against the face, it does. Blog design is no different. A poorly designed blog with amazing content will not receive as many readers as a beautifully designed blog with equal content.

As promised here’s “Take Two” of the ten most beautiful blog designs, this time including a few of your suggestions.

    I can’t believe Veerle wasn’t in the first set to be honest!

    Apart from Adam’s and Derek’s (and Veerle’s obviously..) websites, I don’t really like the others. They don’t seem to have all that much to make them stand out from a crowd (that’s not to say my website does, I don’t have that factor going for me yet, either).

    However, beauty and all that being in the eye of the beholder, I’m sure some people like them!

    I like those ones Chris, they’re really simple.

    These are all really good designs. I wish I knew how to make my own…

    Thanks Glenn, I would attempt one of these posts but there are just too many well presented blogs for me to decide on. Thanks for mention!

    These aren’t really that great. And these “Most Beautiful” posts are useless, just go to http://cssremix.com/

    I agree with all but the last two four. Even mine looks better than those. :-P

    I think Bartelme Design (http://www.bartelme.at) deserves to be on one of these lists

    This post inspired me to create a more unique design for my site. It’s a big cleaner and unique than what came before it! Any thoughts?

    Just sit down with a sketch book Seb, draw out some ideas with presentation of your content in your mind. Make the site simple and easy to navigate. At the moment I believe simple designs are ruling the blogosphere, so join in.

    #5 and #9 don’t belong in this list IMO.

    But yeah, thanks for this post. I didn’t realize Adam Betts was still posting; his feed hasn’t updated in forever.

    I love Derek’s new design, and I’m a huge fan of Subtraction. Glad to see both of those guys in this lits. I like a lot of Adam’s work but I wouldn’t have put his site in this list.

    i second on the 5thirtyone. Derek also designed a very nice blog @ http://sylvialoh.com/ which is one of my most favorite designs of all time.
