Creating a Blog Design That Will Get Attention

By Todd Allaman


One of the least difficult methods for creating your blog's brand and appeal to your targeted audience is to develop it effectively without giving up anything in return. The purpose of this article is to help you develop your blog in a way so that it will both accent your market, but also garner the attention of your viewers.

Your blog should show your personality to your readers. Even though this has been said many times before, the advice always tends to hold true - to get your readers excited, show them who's behind the curtains! The web is a personal place and it makes a big difference when you visit a blog and get to see the person or persons behind it. Go into detail about who you are and you will have a strong "About Me" page. What you put there represents you and will help show your personality.

Your blog's readability is another important factor to focus on because it can influence your readership. The text based content is the backbone of any blog. People visit blogs to read. Therefore, having good typography and easy readability are two points that you cannot ignore. You increase the value of your blog when it has good readability. So to achieve long term success, get your blog's readability right.

Lastly, keep in mind that design is a continuous process. There is no benchmark that you can reach and relax. In other words, your job is to keep on innovating as far your blog's design is concerned; you're never 'done' with it. Enjoy the process of making improvements to your blog's design by getting feedback from your readers and applying new changes. Over time you'll notice that your blog's design will evolve into a strong influence and you'll be able to make your blog more effective with time. Looking at other successful blogs will show you that they are still making improvements to their designs.

It is important to have an effective design for your blog. Each and every factor that we discussed here plays some kind of a role in helping you carve out a unique design for your blog.
