- napsterthug, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11That's the point of Digg. So a site has great articles.. does that mean we should stop posting from sites like these? Last time I checked Digg was a news, videos, podcast, everything/anything, aggregation site. Would kind of defeat the purpose if we stopped posting articles from SM, Engadget, CNN, TechCrunch, on and on.. just because they always have their articles posted.
- sdenike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Man I really need to redo my blog after seeing these.
- bovester, on 10/10/2007, -8/+15But they're still blogs...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Change title to "45 commonly used blog designs" after appearing on Digg front page.
- axeland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3i don't know why do you'll crib about blogs. Even Engadget and Gizmodo are blogs...so why does they make most of the time on the frontpage of the Digg? Don't you read them bovester?

- BristolMyLove, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1Dido.
- BristolMyLove, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1Uhm, the Ziked.com one is a default design.
- davidmihm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Some nice ones on here that I hadn't seen before (and some I had). Thanks for posting; it's a nice summary.
- zsOverman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Scheiss: "...never saw a navigation bar of 502 px high before..."
Going out on a limb here, but maybe there's a reason for that. - bhellman1, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Here are two other great designs:

Just because a blog looks great from the outside, doesn't mean its users are that much better off with a classy looking design. I'd much rather read great content on a white background with large black text than try to extrapolate an off purple text from a gradient yellow background. Please everyone keep it simple.
- Scheissenegger, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4they forgot http://www.profit42.com
certainly the most unique layout, never saw a navigation bar of 502 px high before... - dbulli, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Should just delete the others and call it a WordPress gallery =) ...
- mirzar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1i think all tumblr sites have good design - personal favorites - ziked.com and tumbl.us
- civperc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I dunno why people drool over Inman's designs; they're so count-intuitive and the color palettes wash together to the point of not being able to read text.
- SunAlex, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0there are some grate designs. some of them I really enjoy.

http://search.ashtech.info/design - rfulkerson, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Some good stuff... Creative layouts make a good reference for designers.
- essenceappeal, on 12/10/2008, -0/+0There great and all but I really need to find a site that has free 3 column wordpress themes I can use on blogspot..
http://www.pokerwizdom.com - illahtech, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Or maybe they're willing to actually try something different instead of defaulting to the current design trends that all 45 of those sites use? Changing up the detailing and color palette is the main differentiator between most of those sites.
- illahtech, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1These are all nice designs, but they're all in the same vein - i.e. 'bloggy' looking designer sites. Design is like fashion, and all of these blogs fall into the same niche if you know what I mean.
Like it could be 45 well dressed yuppies...sure the outfits are different, but they all still look alike. - johnburk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Some great designs. How about the fashion blog http://www.modeblog.nl
- muffybg, on 12/07/2008, -0/+0some very nice designs on there puts mine to shame, but depends what you are looking for :)
http://adsense.freeoffertrades.co.uk - deadlift, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Techcrunch.. epic lulz
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1I hate it when a Digg submission breaks a part of the internets.

- Elektriq, on 10/10/2007, -7/+3Do we have to submit every SM post to digg? I'm sure most designers know the site by now. Including me.
- akav0id, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0What, no mention of http://mattbrett.com/ ?
pfft - bhellman1, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0Several were left out. Why 45, why not 50?
