Smashing Magazine posit that the fixed-format blog post may give way to a more elaborate blogzine style of posting in which each post has its own unique stylesheet, making it look more like a magazine in concept than a blog.

I first saw this in effect when Jason Santa Maria redesigned his blog a while back. It’s an amazing concept, and visually stunning. The problem for 99% of web users, bloggers and whatnots is that they just don’t have the design skills to make something like this happen. Plus, for the majority of people, having to think so hard about the design of an article would be a disincentive to write at all!

For those designers who have the time, creativity and ability to make the blogzine format work, there may be a new niche in it for them to own.
