       Ask HN: What are the best-designed personal blogs you've come
       across?
        
       I'm about to start building a site for a personal blog, so I'd love
       to get inspiration from your favorites -- looking only at the
       design and not the content. Here are a couple of mine:

         | Yeah, was going to post this. This is by far and large the best
         | I know in terms of design and one of the most interesting
         | regarding content as well.
         | 
         | I hope this blog survives for centuries.

         | best.

       | Best is entirely subjective. ;) I'm quite fond of my own(1), but

       | very minimal wordpress theme.
       | 
       | Let's start with the two you mentioned: looking at the source
       | code, one's actually built from a squarespace theme, and the
       | other is likewise built from a wordpress theme, feels like an
       | slightly older one given it's not mobile responsive. That's not a
       | knock, by the way - sometimes you want an audience that don't use
       | phones or deliberately flock to the retro vibe.
       | 
       | I don't know your budget or capability to self-code, but browsing
       | squarespace's themes would be what I would recommend if you have
       | a higher budget, and likewise doing the same with wordpress if
       | you're operating on a shoestring mindset. There's some gorgeous
       | ones on both, though squarespace is far more curated and caters
       | to a more modern/slick looking audience and clientele.

         | Thanks for sharing! That's a great point about building from a
         | template/theme.
