45 Excellent Blog Designs
Smashing Magazine has compiled another one of it’s great “Best Of…” lists. This time it’s 45 Excellent Blog Designs. And, as usual it’s a great source of inspiration. A couple of my favourites are in there, including Shaun Inman’s. If Blogs could be eaten, then you’d want his for dinner. Wonderful use of white (orange in his case) or negative space, perfect layout, great typography, and attention to even the smallest of details.
This Smashing Magazine Post is definitely one to Bookmark.

What restraint you’ve shown John, not even mentioning that your typography blog was listed among the best designs. Come on… toot your own horn! You certainly deserve the recognition.

Hey John, Congrats on having your iLT featured on SM. I swear I saw it was also featured one of the CSS galleries yesterday, but I can’t seem to find it today.

Thanks I didn’t know about this. Some of this stuff is amazing, some I feel is a bit over done. Thanks for the heads up on this.
