Thoughts On Blog Design {And How To Win Your Own Blog Makeover}

March 28, 2012

By:

Erin Schrader

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it once again.

The appearance of your blog is so {so} important.
Okay, I just lied.

I don’t think I have ever said that before.

But my gosh, I have sure thought it.
Listen up folks.
I know that it is the content of your blog that makes people come back time and time again.
But it is what they SEE upon landing on your page that makes the decision on how long they will stay on that little blog of yours.
If they don’t stay, they don’t realize how cool you really are.
If they do stay, they fall in love.
It is kinda like a first date with a guy.
If he shows up at your door stop looking like a haggard sopping wet mess, you will probably disregard everything he has to say all night. {I don’t know how I just came up with sopping wet mess but it sounded good. If you ever have a date show up sopping wet and it wasn’t raining out, we have other issues.}
However.
If that gentleman shows up to your door step looking like Channing Tatum, you will listen to what he has to say. Even if he isn’t speaking.
Those eyes. My gosh.
What was I saying?

Right.

Blog appearance.
It’s important.
Here is a fact:
I have passed up many of excellent blogs because their was no visual appeal.
I can’t help it my eyes like pretty things.
Sad but true.
With all that being said, there are many ways to get your blog in tip top shape.
This world is full of talented people {and much smarter people than you and I. Your right. Just I} that know how to get this done for you.
Say for instance, this company.

Also known as “World’s Cutest Blog Designs” in my book.

Here is what you need to know about Cherry On Top.
