Creating custom blog posts can have many advantages. For starters, they look a lot better than the plain old repetitive style that normal posts have which makes your site look dynamic in the eyes of your readers who are, maybe, border with your old post style. Besides this, you are appreciated as a designer, your skills are acknowledged by people who see the article and this could get you a few clients.
I have seen custom blog posts which organize the information the same way print magazines do it and that is really helpful. You can use custom column, text-wrapping or you can add pictures to the article to make it have an editorial look.
