Ask HN: Should a Startup's blog have the same design as it's website?

1 points by dfragnito 14y ago ↗ HN

We are setting up our blog at Posterous. I would like it to have a different design than our website. Take more liberties with it, have "more fun" with it. My partner thinks it should match our website. Thoughts?

Probably best to keep the same colour scheme and make sure your name / logo is at the top but there's nothing wrong with changing things a bit.

The Google blog is a pretty good example: http://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/ You can immediately tell that it's a Google creation, even if the Google logo wasn't there, and the moving circles at the top make it a bit more fun.
