Look at These Gorgeous Blogs
We’ve added a user showcase where you can view stunning customizations made by people just like you. From complete redesigns with CSS to adding pizzazz with Custom Fonts to clever use of options like background and header, this showcase will spark your imagination and inspire creativity.
Discover details about what each showcase blog is doing with WordPress.com themes and customizations by clicking a thumbnail to see a colophon-style list of credits on the left.
We’ve also updated footer links so blog owners can show off the types of customizations they’ve made and visitors can learn more by clicking the “Customized” link in WordPress.com footers. A “Customized” link will appear next to the theme name for blogs that are using Custom Design tools like fonts or CSS.
Things we like to see when looking for showcase-worthy customizations are blogs with good traffic, beautiful design, well-written articles or stunning images, recent content updates, and involvement helping out in our CSS Customization forum.
Be inspired, customize your blog and make it that perfect place for your creations.

This is great! So many beautiful blogs out there. How can I put my blog on this showcase?

There isn’t a way for you to add your blog directly. Blogs are picked based on a number of factors including things like good traffic, beautiful design, well-written articles or stunning images, recent content updates, and involvement helping out in our CSS Customization forum.

Like they used to say, you could get (the first mass-produced car, the Ford Model T) in any color as long as it was black. That was a plenty good start, but we’re even more glad that they didn’t stop there! Well, except maybe for the Secret Service, but who’d want to keep their blog a secret?
May 15th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Very nice, I’m a sucker for exceptionally creative fonts; these blogs really do inspire.
May 15th, 2012 at 10:35 pm

Your blog looks great! However, not every blog will be included in the showcase.

Great blog design, and prove that the theme is not the most important factor making a blog, add your own style, write about interesting things you know well and use 2 hour more research on your post before posting. But when it come down to it, content is king. Looks awesome. Con grat. Kenneth
