Better Weblog Designs with Patterns

29 February 2008 - By Ahson Rafiq - Filled in Webmaster

I’m always looking for designing resources to make my wordpress themes better and stand out more then others out there and i have infact tried and incorporated a different view of a weblog in every one of my themes.

The only way to make the content stand out more is to have it on a plain white background with a detailed pattern as the page background, alot of weblogs have done this and most of the time the pattern goes un-noticed even though the readers don’t always realize why it is that they are drawn to the content more.

Here are 3 great resources for bg patterns.

Besides from ready made backgrounds here are 2 of my favourite sites, the generators.

All the resources posted above is not just for webdesigners but for bloggers as well the patterns here aren’t just for themes,templates and wallpapers but for ordinary pictures as well, such as banners for posts, titles within pictures to spice the post up.

Such as this banner ;)
