In my previous post I have mentioned some blogging mistakes to avoid, In this post I am gonna write some Blog design tips.
While surfing I came across 25 blog design mistakes , rather mentioning these mistakes I though I will pick some design tips to be followed by the bloggers.
Here are some chosen tips:
1) Optimize your images at a lower resolution to achieve faster loading pages. Keep your page sizes well under 60 KB.
2) Think "easy to read." Avoid dark backgrounds with light colored fonts. White background with black text is best for the general public.
3) Make sure your page is easy to read. Break text into manageable pieces, use sub-headings, short paragraphs, highlighted keywords and bullet points.
4) Don't overdo it when designing your pages. Just because you can add something doesn't mean you have to. Leave plenty of white space between your text and images.
5) Always check to see what your site looks like in multiple browsers and change accordingly before uploading your site to the web.
6) Always remember, "Content is King" on the internet, so make sure there is plenty of good, focused information for your visitors.
7) Always optimize your images and use the height and width attributes of the image tag. Additionally, save the files in the right image formats: JPG for Photographs and GIF for artwork.
And last one is most important:
8) A lot of people are using advertisements to earn extra money. That's fine, just don't overdo it.
Don't confuse your readers between the ads and the content.There is nothing wrong by making some money from your knowledge.
