Artisan Blog Design
 / 

In 2009, can a blog’s design matter? Readers of Kottke (and Fimoculous) say yes.

From Jason Kottke’s response on Fimoculous:

I’m surprised (and flattered, I guess) that people want to talk about this. With everyone using newsreaders and “customizing” their blogs with default WordPress, MT, and Tumblr templates, the days of artisan blog design would appear to have passed by, quaint and unworthy of further comment. Like Rex, I love that that’s not the case, at least in a small corner of the web.

I love the word “artisan.”

I also love paisley.
