Better Blog Design

Once again, the good folks at Smashing Magazine have come up with a whole mess o' ideas to make the design of Web apps better. This time, they focus on 45 Excellent Blog Designs. There isn't as much context for each design I would like, but they do have some great examples and push one key idea: it's the attention to small details that makes great design.

It's the same argument that could be made for a lot of things (not just software), but the one technology company that seems to nail this principle (and has done so over and over again for a very long time now) is Apple. One of the things I hear people say when asked why they love their Mac or their iPod is "It's the little things that are nice."

But back to me (and when isn't it about me? After all this is a blog...), maybe it's time to spruce up the old blog design.
