Do blog designs need more originality?

  1. I think that all blogs should look a little different

    Why is it that all of the blogs sold on Flippa and even DP all have that same blocky magazine layout? I mean I'll admit, it does look professional. But how come EVERYONE uses the exact same design (with simple image/color modification)? Does it somehow add value to the blog, is it the 2009-2010 style, or are designers just lazy?

    I have a lot of great ideas for blog design that look absolutely nothing like that. Do you think it would be worth the time perfecting them, or will nobody be interested?

    Here's an example of the "standard" that I'm talking about:
