Stumbled across a refreshing blog design…

I love good web design, especially blog design. I guess it’s because there are so many blogs out there using the same templates. Not that there is anything wrong with that. There are tons of very talented blog template designers out there helping people add some flare to their sites.

The first thing I notice when going to someone’s blog is the look and feel, even before I start reading. This is not to say that a blog with a poor layout is unreadable, but to be honest, I may not stick around too long or come back. Well, thanks to Hsien, I came across Alister Cameron’s Blogologist site, which has been recently redesigned. It is one of the best designs I have seen in a while. The image density is perfect, all the sections are easy to find, and the font sizes are well-proportioned and easily read.

Check it out and let me know what you think…

*disclosure: Alister is now part of b5 media, whom my wife also writes for. This did not sway my feelings on his new design :)

    Steve, you’re very kind.

    The only thing better than enjoying good design and trying to come up with it yourself is seeing other take pleasure from your work.

    Thanks for taking the time to post in such detail. I’m chuffed :)

    I have been a fan of Alister’s for a while now, and I agree with you that his new design is inspiring. You have a nice site yourself. (I grabbed your feed.)
