My favorite WordPress sites. Yours?

I haven’t posted in a while not (only) because I have nothing to say but more because of my ever busy life. The themes are progressing very slowly at the moment but I hope to find some time soon to finish some of them.

Anyway, today’s post topic is about wordpress design. While some great themes are available, the most beautiful and unique designs are usually nowhere to be found. Why? mainly because designers keep them for themselves ;). I ‘m sure there are quite a few out there (that I don’t know about) and I thought it would be a great idea to post a list of what you consider to be the best (design wise) wordpress powered sites . To get it started, here is my personal list below. If you know any other please post the links on the comments.

Hmm.. actually I liked yours too :-) But I’d certainly add http://lonnroth.info/ into the list. By shear design and good thinking, the site appears to be doing more with WP than meets the eye. Check the portfolio…

Thanks for the mention ;) One of my favorites - based on content & design - would have to be Jeff Croft’s site.

@ Kel: Thanks and great find. I didn’t know about this one :)
@ Derek: Thanks for stopping by :) I love J. Croft’s site too but I don’t think it runs on wp. If you go this way, my all time favorite designs are:
Veerle’s blog and
Jon Hicks.

Jeff Crofts site runs on Django.
