Personal Blog Template — Hand-Drawn Sketchbook

Scribble Post is a four-page personal blog template for writers, makers, and hobbyists who want a homepage on the internet that feels like a private sketchbook rather than a corporate CMS. The design sits on a cream-paper ground with a desk-blotter, highlighter-swiped hero, a two-column feed of ink-outlined snapshot cards with hard offset shadows, scribble dividers between sections, and Kalam margin notes with drawn arrows that make the whole thing feel written by hand.

The four pages map to how personal sites actually get read. Home is the wobbly-ink post feed, warm and browsable, inviting readers to wander. Post is a cozy, low-distraction article page tuned for long-form reading. Now is a dedicated status page — a small, human touch that regulars return to. About is a hand-sketched about-me with your links and a compact archive, giving new visitors a fast way to understand who you are and subscribe.

The hand-drawn character is the whole point: it reads as authentic and non-commercial, which is exactly what earns trust and repeat readers in a sea of templated blogs. Swap the palette with any Dual7 design system, drop in your posts and doodles, and remix it into a codebase you own.
