A good blog design is not just about a pretty header and matching social media buttons. A good blog design is about knowing what your blogging goals are and making sure the way your blog is designed works towards those goals, not against them.
You can find some examples of my blog and logo design work here.

What about Non-Wordpress Blogs?
I am currently only working with self hosted wordpress blogs for blog design packages. There is nothing wrong with using Blogger, or Squarespace or any other platform for your blog, but each platform has different coding and design needs, and self-hosted wordpress is what I know best.
I can design a stand alone Logo for any blog platform or other use. I can also do some tweaks for Blogger and Squarespace blogs, so get in touch and I’ll let you know if I can help.
