Application of Inspiration:How to sum up in 100 words...?

Well one of the main reasons these particular blogs appealed to me was because they seem to get the balance right.. I have observed that there is a fine line between having an exciting, funky origional website, AND detracting the main focus from the actual design work...
These blogs enhance and reflect the key ideas and themes of the design. Truthfully representing the designer at hand.

Afterall, this is the most important tool of the blogsite, to represent and promote the individual, or design company, and these blogsites successfully do this by portraying the designer feel and vibe.Through this research I have decided to keep my blogsite very simple, with an emphasis on the userbility of the site. A minimalist feel that is clean and effective..

I have found great satisfaction from veiwing my peers blogs...I just hope me leaving a small nugget of appreciation( in the form of a comment) brought them as much joy!

congratulations all of you:)
