Patterns for Personal Web Sites -- "My method is to distill the qualities of the best personal Web sites (and my own) into a set of patterns. These patterns can be used as guidelines for creating a personal Web site." (Comments: Thanks Martin.)

There's also a new book called The Design of Sites (http://designofsites.com/) which is a pattern-oriented approach to web design. It's a lot more comprehensive than the personal-site patterns library linked here.

While there's overlap between the patterns in The Design of Sites and Patterns for Personal Web Sites, particularly in the area of site structure, their goals differ. The Design of Sites focuses on commerce and business sites. Patterns for Personal Web Sites attempts to distill qualities present in some of best personal sites I've encountered. Some of these patterns don't apply to businesses -- e.g, Your Own Voice, or Diverse Content. Likewise, Shopping Cart doesn't make much sense on a personal Web site.
