There are a lot of great WordPress blogs out there and some amazingly cool designs. I picked three of my personal favorites to demonstrate how cool WordPress can be and how one simple web tool can be used to create some different looks.

Smashing Magazine
Smashing Magazine makes great use of a magazine style WordPress theme.

Upstart Blogger
This is a far more traditional blog look and feel but still unique.
