Unfortunately, the makeover had to be pushed on a back burner due to many other obligations and lack of time. However, since starting from last week I went solo and building my own business, I definitely need to make my blog’s re-design a priority. So I’m back to the “drawing board”, searching for more sources of inspiration on meticulous design details.

I agree with your post that attention to details is important in designing -- too often, they are overlooked by designers who only want to focus on the "big picture". What they don't realize is that it's frequently a combination of the small things that makes an amazing composition overall. I’m very flattered to be included on this list!

And it's such an interesting topic, too. I don't see many articles that focus on these oft-overlooked details. Thank you so much for including my site in your article!

I'm very glad that you found this article inspiring. Let there be more interesting blog designs in the blogiverse. I agree with you, Tara, it's easy to forget about the details because we concentrate so much on working on the overall design of the site. But I guess these little details are the ones that many designers keep tweaking on their sites, trying to achieve the perfect and happy medium. Bes, did I notice it correctly - did you recently change your comments area slightly, by styling the number of the each comment? Looks very neat. Thanks for the link to Velasco site, Johno. It has a very interesting, almost psychedelic look. I look forward to reading that intriguing article you're working on. One more way to go :-) Good luck with it. Marcia, it must be very frustrating to change the free blogger's templates on blogspot. Fortunately, I never had to deal with it. But don't give up, you're already on the right track with your blog's design. You're very welcome, Vixx. I absolutely love the way you style the dates/time/titles/number of comments on your blog. How did you come up with this idea, where did you draw the inspiration for it? Thanks, Shankar, I see you have a hawk's eye there, don't you? :-) Paul, "pixel perfectionist". You should add this characteristics to your business signature, so that all your clients would call you that. Based on those designs by you that I've seen, that name suits you very much. Thanks everyone. I’m very glad that you found this article inspiring.

There's some awesome blogs in there, and a few I haven't seen before. I like to think I pay attention to detail in my designs. I'm what one of my clients called a 'pixel perfectionist' - a title that I'd be glad to own! :) Excellent stuff Vivien! There’s some awesome blogs in there, and a few I haven’t seen before.
