I've been wanting to re-create my blog & about/personal page. Are there similar write-ups for beautiful blogs/resume/about pages?

I like the Refactoring UI YouTube series.[1] Schoger takes a real website and makes incremental changes to make it gorgeous. He justifies his decisions and just generally gives you a good intuition for the why he makes a given tweak, which has helped me far more than any other tutorial or blog post I've followed.
