Smashing’s list of great blogs, organized by CMS/framework, is notable for a few reasons:

  1. It shows that — at lest when using the popular featured tools — design is almost completely independent of CMS. The idea that “all insert CMS here sites look the same” is simply untrue and an unfair criticism of a particular platform.
  2. It has several great designs I’d never seen before.
  3. It has a small, but nice, selection of Django-powered blogs.

    I spotted this earlier (via Digg - Design Feed) and noticed the ‘Django’ section and thought about letting you know…but then changed my mind because I thought you’d find it soon enough anyway! ;)

    Some really great designs there - some I hadn’t seen before.

    There’s some great stuff in there - some new, some familiar. After the first screenshot, anyway…
