49 Creative And Unique Blog Designs
Everyone knows what Wordpress means in blogging world. Open source WordPress has been incredibly successful and risen from a handful of users to the most-used blog tool in its category. As Wordpress there are many other blogging software like Blogger, Live Journal etc. freely available but Blogging is not all about content. You also need to have a good or i must say a great looking blog design for attracting readers.
There is no charm if every blogger simply kept the default blog theme. There is no other option for same. There are too many free and unique themes available for respective blogs. But these days, you need to do even more than that just to stay stand.
A good blog needs good design which includes Good layout, overall color matching, attractive logo, the typography, proper text and paragraph alignment, clear navigation, etc.

We marked down those with unique interface, graphically beautiful, creative use of colours, unique personalities and styles.

Hi, we just started our blog and wanted to give it a much more personal feeling than the official website (http://brandstorm.pl – which is still fairly laid back). So the colors and objects are dramatically different yet we preserved our distinctive feel – http://news.brandstorm.pl
