Top 50 Blog Designs of 2008

    According to technorati there are 70 million blogs with 120,000 coming every day. Which means 1.4 new blogs every second. So I thought it would be nice to have an inspirational list of good looking designs for those who are planning to start a new blog.

    I asked some of the experts in the industry, I asked readers on my blog, and I looked through some of the top web design galleries to compile a list of top 50 blog designs of 2008.

    I cannot post all images here because it takes extensive amount of time. So if you are interested in looking at some of the best designs of 2008, head over to

    Balkhis Top 50 Blog Designs of 2008


    Please let me know what you think of it. If your blog was in there contact me and I will give you a badge that you can put on your website which should help you get more advertisers.

    Great list, those are some very nice designs. :)

    The only thing, I have to disagree with CopyBlogger being there. I find it a really bad design, but it's just my opinions I guess.

    Yeah as I said beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I think it is a good design done by Chris that uses web semantics very well.

    Pretty cool designs. I am impressed by some of them.
    You had a good idea to start something like this. You should do that with other kind of sites.
