It looks better than a lot of web sites I've seen.
You could look at the list of books at http://www.456bereastreet.com/archiv...ories/reviews/
One book I've got is "Blog Design Solutions" although it's a little dated now. I've made my web site using TextPattern and I've got a blog page incorporated into that.
You could look at http://www.problogger.net/ which is a blog about professional blogging.
Have fun
