12 Well Designed BlogSpot Blogs
There are some fantastic Blogspot blogs out there. But all too often I see fantastic content laid out in a cookie cutter style theme that I have seen 100′s of times before. I decided to make it my mission to find some well designed and unique blogspot blogs to showcase. Below are 12 Blogspot blogs that have either unique or well designed themes:
Nobs Tutorials
Firewalker
Update: Added 2 more: nobs Tutorials and IT blog to the top of the list.

Wow, you really got me! Thanks for the review, Simon!
I didn’t know that
May I direct your attention to something, uhm, “different”?

There are some good ones there Simon. I don’t think they are in order though. Stumbled.
Thanks for the Stumble Mani. Yeah, no particular order.
@Keeto: I will have to check that when I get home, work blocks blogspot blogs
Well well what can you say about my design? I’m on blogspot too!

P.S. Simon, nice post – I was just wondering if someone makes really good designs for blogspot – and here they are
Wow. Thanks!
Cool! I can’t believe that my blog made the list, but it appears that I am in very good company.
Keeto, I really love the ITlog design, it is amazing, I’ve added it to the top of the list!
@Simon: Wow.. Thanks.. One request though, can you change the name of the link to “Electric Itlog”?.. Itlog means “egg” in Filipino, and “Etlog” is a play on the spelling of itlog.. ^_^
Nobs Tutorials looks great…added to the list!
Hey simon,can you give a complement about my blog?
Thanks for the kudos, Simon. Its pretty cool to be selected in this bunch. Cluck cluck!
Wow! I am super flattered…thank you for the mention.
Yeah! Congratulations to all the stylish bloggers! Keep it up!
I love well-designed blogs! Giving your content a great-looking vehicle is something not overlooked by these fabulous blogs. I’d like to think mine’s pretty good lookin’ too
You have a nice collection of blog design here. Hope youll add more choices.
What a great list! Chickengirl deserves to be honored!
Nice designs, just a shame they’re on Blogger
I like chickengirl, firewalker and popcorn not included best. Very different styles but each in their own way captures your attention.
It’s very useful sites. Good for the future references. i really like the food for design. layout
Nice. Even the blogspot can do that !
Your Jobs is ace!
Those designs are breathtaking – I think the “Simon So” one is the most eye catching though just because it is so unique.
Cool.. I like the brand builder blog. Simple and nice.
Great list of blogspot blogs here. Cheers.
Great list… I too have been noticing all the identical blogs..
I think its probably cause blogspot comes with a fairly limited default set of templates.
I can barely believe it’s Blogspot blogs! These are clearly talented people and maybe I’m being cynical but why bother? Why bother showcasing your skills when it’s not marketable? I’m assuming people use blogger is because it’s free. I guess maybe they are downloadable themes to get backlinks but I also think that blogspot people might not be as sophisticated to use other themes other than the generic ones? That’s a gross assumption on my part but maybe I’m just brainwashed by the fact that people with their own hosting are more “serious”.
Nobs tutorials looks awesome. Who knew you could take a free blogging platform and make it look so good? Just goes to prove that even free blogging platforms like Blogger can be used to create a great online presence.
I have to admit those are some great blogspot designs. I am suprised the people did not use a wordpress blog but i guess it shows how good some people are no matter who hosts blog or what type of platform it uses.
Did they make own templates and code or what. I have to check more of the blogs out they are all good and i never thought you could make a blogspot blog look that good.
Thank you Simon for sharing these themes.
I like a lot 2 of them.
Kudos to these blogs. It’s not often that blogspot blogs have any amount of web design period.
They all are really good.simple and nice.I like firewalker and popcorn. thanks.
WOW.. What a post. this is one of the posts which are very interesting and outstanding. Really very helpful. Thanks for posting it
Those are some great designs! I am going to have to make some changes to mine to make it more appealing.
I like the fire walker one the best. Some great desings i wish i could do more like them.
Is it worth changing from a wordpress to a blogspot engine. Is it better easier to keep and install?
LMax brings up a good point and I tend to agree. To me, people who use blogspot are newbies, just getting their feet wet. I’m guessing these pro blogspot blogs are guys who have stuck with them so long they’ve decided to become more professional but don’t want to make the switch to a new platform because they’d have to change url’s. But why do they bother? Unless you’re able to monetize them seems like a waste of time.
I like the blogger templates and noobs. they both are very good. Popcorn is not bad either.
Nice designs. Never knew you could change blogspot blogs like this. Thanksi will have to try it.
I di not know you could make a blogspot blog look so good. Some of the sites are realy good designs. I have to look at them more and figure out what i can do.
I really like the blogger template design. something I can use
Wow, very interesting post. Not sure if I agree with all these “well designed blogs” though. Still bookmarked it
I did not know you could make a blogspot blog look so good. I thought you could not change design or template. I like firewalkers site and some of the others. They all are very good designs and are hard to tell that they are blogspot blogs.
Those are all so pretty. I never even knew a blog could look so clean and creative. Do people make these themselves (ie are there free templates)?
I like firewalker site alot. Noobs is also a good one. Nice to see people do some great designs for a blogspot blog.
Wow! It’s very beauty and creativity. It’s art of blogger world.
Those are some great designs for a blogspot blog. I have to look at them more and see how i can use some of the design ideas they use. Every site looks great and you never would think they where blogspot blogs.
I love the Food for Design one, the color is nice. And the issue you discuss is even worse with the wordpress free blogs, when there are so many nice designs why use the plain old default one?
Nice find. Everyone looks great. Makes me want to make new site after seeing how good they are. I have to see how they made some of the changes and if i want to try making own like they did.
Those are very nice design I like it. Very creative design. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Really all are nice designs, i will try them.
I had NO idea blogspot is this flexible. I switched to WordPress because I thought blogspot was hopeless when it comes to customization.
I didn’t like these so much, I think because this post is 3 years old, a lot of things have changed. Nowadays to create a good design you need to spend more hours and put more work into it.
All the best is the best…i wish i could design a webpage like these webpages…
having a great unique blogspot template is important not only to keep your blog looking interesting and professional… keeping your readers as readers. But it is also is important for your SEO efforts
Love Simon So and IT Log. Great work man realy.
Love the Music From The Pants one, reminds me of tremmors for some reason:)
Popcorn is a fantastic design, I wish I had the talent to create something like that without a tut.
I like Simon So and All The Best website. I am a big fan of free-hand drawing and those colors are just what I love. Raw and not ‘technologized’.
All The Best’s website seems like it resembles France. ‘Je t’aime!’
Wow, very interesting post. Not sure if I agree with all these “well designed blogs” though. Still bookmarked it
This is a Blogspot blogs! All of a sudden I see that these are clearly talented people and maybe I’m being cynical but why bother? Why bother showcasing your skills when it’s not marketable? I’m assuming people use blogger is because it’s free. I guess maybe they are downloadable themes to get backlinks but I also think that blogspot people might not be as sophisticated to use other themes other than the generic ones?
These are really inspiring! Too bad, some of the sites aren’t the same as the ones you’ve posted here. Some had changed. But nevertheless, it still boosts me up to make a cool blog design.
For a good design, it needs about $1k to pay off. Some of these blogs are good looking, but most don’t.
I like the Sooo Simon design for my personal kikay blog. Is this free? Where can I download this theme?
Oh, I love that Nobs Tutorials theme. Very simple and elegant. Thanks for sharing.
Well those blogs are simply delightful! Kudos to the great designers.
Those are some great blogspot blogs, just wondering though why stick with the free hosting when at anytime your blog can be shut down for any reason and you have no control over it, I would take those design skills over to my own domain name ;0 Good stuff though regardless.
Cool list! I especially liked the logo of “IT Log” and “Firewalker” Very interesting read, thanks.
Those Blogs really amazed me, they’re sooooo well designed and simple as well.
Having a great unique blog spot template is important not only to keep your blog looking interesting and professional. Very simple and elegant. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there, I m blogging with WordPress.org and I don t know if i should move to blogspot. Because I am a bit tired of having problems with the CPU and all that jazz….I don t think wordpress.com would be a solution for me for its lack of flexibility I can not use google adsense or any affiliation programmes…thank u for your advice
I’ve always thought about Blogspot blogs of being kind of amateurish… but these certainly are some amazing ones! Still, the website builder guy inside me screams “self-hosted blogs are the way to go!!!”
Thanks for sharing this!
Wow, cool!
Absolutely fantastic, thanks for sharing.
George, I’m with ya.
Good inspiration for web design, even if you wisely opt to host your own blog instead of using BlogSpot.
I like Bicycle Design, it looks cute.
Great well designed Blogspot blogs list shared here its useful article ,.
I like Bicycle Design, it looks cute.
I wonder if you can still use the design ideas with the new blogger set up. i think you would have to use old template and add code to it. i do not think you could do this with the new templates. i will have to see how i can do with the old templates on a test blog or if i have to stick to the stock templates now.
I like noobs the most out of all of them.
Some really nice inspiration here, especially like the first 5. Very crisp and clean, nothings over complicated which makes navigating a whole lot easier.
Those are some nice designs. I do not know if you can change the design like that with the new templates or if you have to use the old set up. i still would not use blogger since the have been know to flag blogs and remove them because of thie program to check for spam. i think having your own blog and using wordpress still is better.
I love Blogger so much. There’s nothing I can’t do with it. To this day, people still can’t believe that I’m a Blogger blogger lol
