Blogging Tip: Have a Good Blog Design

I'm back with another Blogging Tip! Today's top is: Have a Good Blog Design.

I have read any blogs where the author say something like 'I know its bad of me, but I never read a blog with a bad design.'

Now this is what happens for most people and if you're the person with the bad design it's you whose going to have no readers.

So what makes a bad design? I have had many designs and I believe I can answer this question. What I look for in a design is light colours, a dark design gives people headaches and that is no good.

Another thing I like to see in a design in no clutter. I like to see everything clean. If its all cluttery(is that a word), then people will keep getting distracted from you're writing. So keep it to a minimum.

So what is good in a blog design? White backgrounds. Personally I am not the biggest fan of a really fancy background. I find that its too eye catching. You spend all your time looking at it. So a more plain background (if you want one, I am not such a big fan of them), a single colour or the ever useful white background. No dark colours.

another thing guys, simple fonts. Ones people can read. If a person can't read what you write then you might as well not write it, make sense?

So yes, here are a few tips on blog designing. If you're not that good at designing blog, then you can always order a blog design from someone's shop. There are quite a few good free ones around (try Eve). Or you can order from my free shop(hint,hint,hint)!!!

Blogging Tip:Write Regularly

Today I thought I would start a bit of a blogging tip series! It will be done in no real order, these posts. Just what I feel like writing at the time:)

Today's tip is to write regularly. Now you don't have to write everyday like, me, but it is a good idea to write often, not once every two months or so.

The reason for this is because you will loose readers if you don't post. Your readers look for new content every time they visit and after a while of seeing no new content they will stop visiting.

A way to make sure you write regularly is to write your posts ahead of time. When you have a spare moment and are looking for something to do, go write a post.

Another thing you can do is make schedule your posts. This way you won't have to stress about remembering to post them. Trust me, I know all about this:P

My last suggestion if you're not an everyday blogger is to make set days to publish your posts on and that way you will know you have to get it done!

These are just a few ideas. I hope it helps:)
