I have to be honest. Although I proclaim to be a designer and all, but when it comes to creativity... I "think" I'm in a total lack of it.
I'm trying to come up with a new design, so I decided to browse around to perhaps find some inspiration.
Since I was on it to design a blog layout, I decided to search "design blog", make sense I guess.
After going through a hell of a list, I came to realise that the keywords aren't leading me to the right direction.
Instead of landing on blogs with outstanding designs, the list is filled with blogs that talks about designs but aren't well designed at all.
For example - www.maxwebdesign.edu
Apparently the person behind Max's blog about web design isn't Max but... Robert G?
Robert G created this designing blog to write as much as he can about his projects, websites, marketing and search engine optimization tips.
It does make sense that he keyword-ed "design blog" but... If "design blog" isn't going to get me to a well designed blog... What keywords would?

Depends how you define "well designed". People often think design is entirely about style, when 70% of it is about getting the usability right - so that someone skim reading a page can quickly and easily find
a) what the site is about
b) the exact information they are coming for
eg, on the max web design site (if it hasn't changed since your post), the main problem I can see is simply that the text is justified.
This may make the text look tidier, but it also makes it harder to read than unjustified text. Usability requirements should say that a blog's main purpose is to be as easy to read as possible, as that is what your users are going to be doing a lot of.

very nice design. Everyone has their own design, yours is very good. Great Article!

I think your blog is nicely designed. your flash animations are cute and you have many interesting widgets. But I have to admit, the ads irritate me or probably anyone else reading your posts.

OMG! I just saw this comment. >.<
Yeah, I kinda figured the ads are kind affecting the overall effect. But it's kinda my "extra source of income".
