cre8d design

Great list, definatley noticable in most of todays blogs.

now, a stunning woman who likes CSS? must be dreaming!

Nice to see you back and the new blog looks great. I’ll be watching with interest to see how WP 2.0 works out. Nearly jumped ship to WP a while back but didn’t have the time to learn a new blogging system. WP 2 looks like it might be worth the effort.

Hmmm, http://indieanthems.com seems to fit all of those. Just remember, I did it first

Great examples. Its always nice to get some inspiration from al lot of differend manners(is that correct written?) the development in blogs is verry interresting, and there are some real champions in between. For now, a happy new year(here(holland) it s one more day away)

Stumbled upon this site and I really like the different design techniques you displayed. I am currently looking to make my ‘blog’ look more like a ‘blog’ — and switching from MT32 to WP2 I think will aid in that. I’ve marked this as a ‘blog’ about blog design seems extreamly interesting.

*makes notes*
Bright Colours, big text? Well, all of none of my blogs fit in with that, but I really like your list, nice to see whats going on, esspecially as I really need to change mine a bit more as its still pretty much standard MT.

Hey Rachel, two of those “top border” sites you highlighted were my fault
And you’re damn right if I’m going to continue doing it… I love the look!

Happy new year-
Mike

Found your post through my referral logs, thanks for the recognition
I’m currently redesigning my current blog and I keep kicking myself as I find myself tied to trendy design techniques I see everywhere. Although some of these elements just make good sense - i.e. big fonts grab attention, some are more arbitrary - graphics for graphics sake (i.e. 5px top bar)

Theres definitely a bubbly aesthetic circulating amongst the “Web 2.0″ crowd (don’t you just hate buzzwords?), and these trends are some common fibers.

Rachel Cunliffe在cre8d design blog寫了一篇Blog Design Trends，

[...] Ya puestos a hablar de tendencias (que no de modas), tendencias en rediseños de blogs. Esta temporada se llevan, parece ser, las tipografías grandes, los bordes superiores, cabeceras y pies grandes, los colores brillantes, comentarios con bocadillos de cómic, los bordes redondeados y destacar los enlaces con el color de fondo. A todo esto, yo estaba pensando en cargarme la cabecera de otro blog más y dejar el título en lo alto de la barra lateral… Quedaría más limpio, ¿no? [...]

You missed Zebra comment backgrounds, and (g)ravatars.

apparently from what i see the trend is to make stuff that is entirely BORING. there are actually cool designs out there, that is if your idea of good design isn’t a box for cookware or toasters.

i hated your article.

It’s a good starter article - what would be great would be more depth on the design coverage - hope to see you add that to the article over time.

Hello Rachel, thanks a lot for your summary of the trends, I learned a lot. I’m just starting out, a newbie/rookie/inexperienced fool who is just in the initial stage of researching design. My website is going to be dedicated to sports satire articles and I was just wondering what you thought was the best sort of design for that kind of niche (though I realize there are many possibilities). I really like the whitespace design, but I was hoping some of you might have general tips/suggestions and perhaps good examples that accomodate longer articles. Thanks, and sorry for the long post.

I am pleased to have found this post, because I have always liked the more colourful sites with interesting fonts. It is my opinion that even if the text is valuable, a dull colour (or lack of any) and boring fonts may just cause most of the readers to skip the valuable things the author has to say. And the oposite - a well designed site is a pleasure to read and surf through.
