Build a personal blog for Mara Lindqvist — a general life/observations blog, not tied to one topic like food or travel, the way most blog templates are. For the hero, skip a photo entirely: use a quiet cream field with the blog name 'Notes from Mara' set in a large, slightly irregular serif, and a one-line description underneath reading 'On noticing things, mostly.' No hero image, no CTA button — just the name, the line, and a 'Read the latest' text link with an underline. Pair Instrument Serif for the blog name and post titles with a warm, readable serif-adjacent body face (Lora or similar) for post text — this should feel like reading, not browsing. Ground the page in warm cream (#FAF6EF), deep ink blue as the single accent (#2E3A59) on links and post-title hovers, and soft charcoal (#2A2724) for body text. Below the hero, list posts in a single column, dated simply (no category tags, no featured images unless a post specifically has one) — title, date, and a one-sentence excerpt in italic. In the right margin on desktop (stacked below on mobile), add a small 'Currently' card styled like a handwritten index card, slightly rotated (-1°), listing what Mara's reading, half-listening to, and thinking about this week — updated by hand, not automated, and explicitly not a widget pulling from an API. The signature moment is that 'Currently' card: its handwritten-style font and slight rotation should recur nowhere else on the site, making it read as a genuinely personal touch rather than a template component — and its content should change with real specifics, never 'a good book' or 'a great podcast.' Animate post titles with a 150ms color shift on hover (no underline animation, no scale) and the Currently card with a single 300ms fade-in on load; collapse to instant states under prefers-reduced-motion. No placeholder post titles or 'Lorem ipsum' — every post title, excerpt, and Currently item should read as something a real person actually wrote or is doing.

FAQs about this personal blog template

How do I create my own personal blog?

Start from this template, tell B12 what you want to write about, and it sets up the home page, post layout and about page. Write your first post, connect a domain if you want one, and publish.

What is the best free template for a blog?

One that keeps the focus on your writing: readable type, simple navigation and room for photos. This template is free to start, and you can change the layout and colors by chatting with the AI or clicking to edit.

Are blogs still worth starting?

Yes, if you have something specific to say. A blog gives you a place you own to share your work, build an email list, and show up in search, which social posts don't do on their own.
