Try this one http://andrelukmana.web.id. This also a minimalist blog design
Glad to have you here Curtis!
Thanks for including my site, I've actually tweaked it a bit but its pretty much the same layout.
Minimalism is one of those art directions that not everyone is going to like, its all about content. Personally I love it, I don't like fancy graphics distracting me from what I want to read.
Hey Vladimir, Thanks for your comment. I was working on wanderingmist for a long time and struggled with many layouts and options. Never found peace. My husband suggested to cut the fuss out and go in for a easy-to-handle theme, so we ended up choosing Thesis. I played around with 2 photos of B/W leaves for header and footer and... Eureka! This seems to work well for me. I have no intention changing the design for now but will keep tweaking it as and when I get inspired.
Needless to say, minimalistic designs are so goodlooking. I keep recommending your list to my friends - so that they get ideas :) Keep up your good work. Take care!
Wandering mist looks really nice, with good details. Is it original design?
Hey Vladimir... That is a neat collection of minimalistic designs. I have been trying to keep my new blog minimalistic but somehow something creeps in, out of choice. I am a fan of neat blogs with white and gray backgrounds. I like the cleanliness of your blog. Congrats~
Looked at some of the other minimalistic designs - nothing great, but at least they were ok. This one is totally devoid of colors - they were not.
Why were you after minimalism? Whats so great about it?
I prefer the previous look.
Well you obviously don't like minimalism as a concept, and that's fine :)
V,
I'm still not comfortable with your new format.
I don't know if it is because I was use to the old one or what.
but, I don't find the new one appealing.
And, I have to force myself to click thru to the articles.
I looked at some of the ones you listed above.
Nothing excited me to read further.
