The death of the (boring) blog post Options

[mipadi]

I found this interesting article that discusses the concept of a "blogazine". The central idea is that a blog is laid out more like a magazine, so the layout of each post changes to match the content of the post. I found it interesting because I'm considering launching a new site in the coming months that will feature a more journalistic-style of writing, and I'm thinking of taking this layout route.

One of the writers/designers discussed was Jason Santa Maria, who has a pretty interesting blog, both in terms of content and layout. Here are some examples:



Another one I liked was Dustin Curtis, whose work looks like this:



There was one quote that stood out to me in the article:

What do you think? Should a blog post look the same on every page, or should each post be styled appropriately?
