Smashing Magz now the center of blog designing and many will follow what they said? I don’t think so, the layout design is should see the requirements, nothing is fixed/absolute in design, trends maybe.
Your blog doesn’t have to be three columns just because large blogs have three columns. They may need to make the layout in three columns because their contents are heavy, so if your blog is don’t have much content, why make it three columns?
@shearyadi – First of all, thank you for your comment.
As I and Smashing Magazine noted, the findings are not to be solely used in blog design, but rather serves as a study of what the big blogs are using for their layouts.
In a sense, you can use these findings to experiment with your design, including font use, layouts, etc. It appears that they will be using the findings and writing posts on effective design in the future.
For example, with my fairly minimalist layout, I could easily use a two column layout, but chose to stick with a three column look, simply because I needed flexibility if I wanted to add more content to the sidebars down the road.
