Best Blog Designs

Submitted by admin on Thursday, 13 November 200851 Comments

WordPress provides designers utmost control over a theme - resulting in unprecented flexibility in the layout and design direction he or she can take. WordPress - in the title - is inside parentheses because the designs you’ll see below are wonderful designs despite of the publishing platform they use (which just so happens to be WordPress).

In this collection, you’ll find some (45 of them to be exact) of the most attractive, creative designs by talented designers who push the limits of WordPress theming and raise the bar for the rest of us.

    I really like the clean looking blogs, the ones that are predominantly white. I’ve been thinking about starting one of my own, but when I see all the great blogs out there, I must say, it looks like a big mountain to climb for me.

  • Ambrose said:

    Why are they listed by which blogging software they use?

    I don’t get why that’s relevant. I’m not being rude, I’m genuinely puzzled.

    I would have listed them by colour scheme, layout, design similarity, etc. It never would have occurred to me to list them by back end.

  • Bubs said:

    Wow, thanks for the mention! It was quite unexpected but I’m very honored ^___^

    You know what I like about this list? 2 things: It proves that you can make a beautiful weblog with any of the popular applications out there, and it has a very wide range of blog designs; there’s no one style that dominates this list. You did a great job picking them out, and now I feel like redesigning mine!

  • Paul Enderson said:
