Although my blog is special in its own way, it has a standard design. Blogger doesn't offer many design options, and the templates are all basically the same. The middle area is for the content. The left and right panels can be used for widgets and archives.
The biggest complaint that I have with my design is the lack of a horizontal menu. Although this blog doesn't require one for the content, it would be nice to have a site map including home, about, contact, and whatever else I want.
This is what I think would be a better design template for this blog.
It has the horizontal site map, along with the main content and side panel. Each blog entry, with its corresponding picture, could be in the main section. That way, you could see multiple graffiti pictures at once, rather than having to scroll through all of them. It would let the user choose what they wanted to view.
In the right panel, I might use the categories instead of the archive. The graffiti that I find could easily be broken down into categories: inspirational, song lyrics, poetry, conversations, R-rated, etc. This would also be more user friendly, allowing the user to pick and choose what they want to see. I could always add the archive under that, or put it in the horizontal site map at the top. While Blogger is good and simple, it could easily be better.
