It’s that time of year… the Weblog awards for 2005. I was tempted to visit by a comment in a political blog, and stayed to review the finalists for the Best Blog Design. I wasn’t familiar with any of them, so I took a few minutes to visit each site. The most stunning image was this photograph on Antipixel, and I almost wound up voting for it. However I finally cast my ballot for Coming Anarchy. I love the details of the design – the presentation of block quotes, for instance – and the way that all of the elements work together to create a distinctive and harmonious style.
But I don’t want to bias you. All of the finalists are worth a visit. Check ’em out, then vote often.
