Do you have a theme that you just love whether it is unique or not?

I'll assume that I can't vote for myself (http://www.search-this.com/) and so I will vote for Jonathan (http://snook.ca/jonathan/)

The nicest in my opinion would be between:

Veerle's Blog (http://veerle.duoh.com/) and LarissaMeek.com (http://www.larissameek.com/)

Though I also like Dan Rubin's Virb (http://virb.com/danrubin) and JinaBolton.com (http://jinabolton.com/)

I can't say that it's pretty, but if I stumbled across a blog using this theme (http://modernlifeisrubbish.co.uk/article/retro-mac-os-wordpress-theme), I'd hang out a bit, just for sentimental value.

Veerle's blog is definitely awesome. I just came across this theme (http://www.clazh.com/) which i thought was nice.

Is there a limit to how long this list can be?? xD

If I had to stick to just 5 (in no order), I'd probably say:


Jonathan Snook (http://snook.ca/jonathan/) (Wasn't kidding in the other thread. ;) )
Leihu (http://leihu.com/) (I love the design, even if it's not my kind of content!)
456 Berea Street (http://www.456bereastreet.com/) (The more common style of blog design, but done perfectly!)
Bear Skin Rug (http://www.bearskinrug.co.uk/) (All about the effects. The attention to detail is overwhelming!)
Subtraction (http://www.subtraction.com/) (Constantly cited as a prime example of grid design at its best. For good reason. :rockon: )



Of course, if you asked me the same question tomorrow, I may well reply with a completely different set of blogs. ;)

I love Veerles and Larrisa's themes too and these:

Bartelme Design | Fresh Theme for EE (http://www.bartelme.at/journal/archive/fresh_theme_for_ee/)
Vikiworks™ Studio (http://www.vikiworks.com/)

I like mine (http://penguinarmy.org/jacob) just cause i like it and the one on digitalorder just cause its clean compared to other blogs in my niche Though I seriously considering replacing the current DO theme with one that looks like the Times (http://penguinarmy.org/ICnewyorkcity),

These are bloggy sites rather than just blogs but I do really like their designs:

It's an obvious choice, but still fantastic (and the content back in the day was brilliant) Joshuaink (http://joshuaink2006.johnoxton.co.uk/)

Another vote for Mr Snook too. Jonathan - Snook.ca (http://www.snook.ca/jonathan/)

For it's pure simplicity, and the way it focuses the reader on the content I love The place Garrett Dimon calls home. | GarrettDimon.com (http://www.garrettdimon.com/)

And for a blast from the past I've always liked Blog | 1976design.com (http://www.1976design.com/blog/) (for anyone who's never heard of it, check out the header image at different times of the day and when there are different wheather conditions in Dorset, UK.)
