I want a site like that
Ok, I am not talking about Google or any other big boss website. They are blogs, but they can attract your mind in the very first sight. Ok, may not yours, but it is so for me.
Beautiful blogs always attracted me. I don’t want to define what a beautiful blog is, but they just look cool.

I never subscribe to a blog where someone says what he had for breakfast or where someone says how he learned swimming. But I do when the blog is looking beautiful and that is why I have subscribed to John Chow and Tim Ferris.
I wont care the design much, it just makes me happy only for some moments and it wont make any influence when I have subscribed to RSS using Google Reader.
I want posts to be beautiful with images/videos, small paragraphs, bold quotes etc. Have you ever read Problogger? You can see that it follows a clear pattern and I love that.

I wanted a style like that. So, I installed a plug-in called Photodropper which is used to fetch images from Flickr and tweaked the javascript as it doesn’t provide an easy way for customization. I didn’t forget to put links while preparing the article.
What do you think? How does the post look? Any suggestion for making posts more beautiful?

It look nice. Now I think what important is to add some content. Because when you website start getting visitor, having a nice design only one of the ingredient, the next one should be content.
@Hamdani, I agree. Content is always the big thing, but for a personal blog you have to do/can do some different things like design. I believe so. I am not a pro with blogging, i just told what I thought about other blogs.
Great post. It is important to have a nice design to keep visitors interested while they read your content.
