20 Creative Blog Designs

Though many people use their blogs for commerce and advertising, the main idea for weblog is to introduce the blog owner to other people and tell about his personality. And usually a blog design can tell you more about its owner than the text this person publishes on the page. Whether it's grunge or minimal, retro style or web 2.0 - the same will our first impression of the author be.

Even if you don't try to personalize the style of your blog design and use a template or a theme, still the way you organize the information on the page will make a great contribution to your online appearance.
There are many ways to attract attention to your blog and make it look creative and unlike the others. You can use an unusual layout, artistic fonts, creative images and many other ways to express your personality. The main thing you need to remember is that no matter how much you want to use various creative and catchy elements on your web page, you've got to calm down. A too overcrowded page distracts visitor's attention and usually is annoying too. Design always means seeking some kind of a balance, and on how good you can do this depends how good you are as a designer.

Everyone has his personal merit for creativity and elegance, a personal sense of beauty.

For this collection of blog page designs I tried to select web designs that impress you for some (certain or uncertain) reason.
I hope you will take a minute to look through them.

Creating web blog demands the ability to draw a portrait using web design tools and texts. As a designer you are free to experiment, though you always need to remember that what you do is targeted to the audience and that your success will depend on the common opinion.
