Any blog IMO should have a minimalist design. You want to draw attention to the content and present it as plainly and with as little visual clutter as possible.

Some people want to use their blog as a kind of interactive CV but that should be treated as a separate project, as it will just introduce more clutter.

There is a German blog who hit "minimalist" rather well. http://blog.fefe.de/

Tbh, I prefer this kind of representation not just when it comes to blogs. Hackernews is another great example for "less is more".
