I have to agree with Chris Basey, who commented on my previous post, that Veerle Pieter's blog is probably the best-designed blog out there. It’s extremely straight-forward and clean, but so visually beautiful and interesting.
Like all great design, it’s the details that really set it apart from everything else. A great example can be seen in the screenshot to the right. Notice that the left thumbnail image has a subtle shading on the left that matches the shading above and below it. It’s a minor thing, but when added together with all the other perfectly executed details, you get a site that's wonderfully layered and rich.
