Three Elements of Your Weblog Design That Require Simplifying

 

 1 . Weblog Design

 Even the weblog here at blogtipshouse.blogspot.com sports a simple design and structure that no would scoff at. In fact, lots of people have remarked how visually refreshing it is to basically have the content first and all the other stuff second.

The most obvious is the simplicity of the design. If you're content is going to make your weblog grow & attract an audience then you need to make definite that the design complements your content every single time.

Make definite you use a Blogger Weblog theme (I use Standard Theme) that highlights your content first so that you users can get what they came for! I feel (like you do) that your weblog commenters and readers are worth it!

2 . Comments

For example some comment fields are so messy that you do-not know exactly where to start! You see calls to action all over the place & commercials surrounding the comment area & you are basically not definite where the reply button is!

Your comment area, for plenty of, is the lifeblood of interaction & engagement & yet it is confusing why so plenty of people have so plenty of different plug's & features that crowd the comment space.

Daily Walking a blog Tips has of the simplest and out-of-the-box comment areas out there and this weblog is doing fine for engagement, right?

Why make it more difficult than it needs to be? The native comment box is pretty the way it is & that is why I pick to make use of it but in the event you do select to make use of another 3rd party platform it might be worth spending some time cleaning it up& simplifying those services .

3 . Sharing

Social networking & social media is in all places  you cannot avoid it. And to a definite degree this is a great thing! You require people to engage along with your content but you require even more for them to share it with their networks and with other interested parties!

But you need to make it simple to make use of and basically to share! Again, as I scan the plenty of blogs that I walk through every day I see a complete mess of social sharing etiquette as there's twenty social sharing icons (and repeats) both in the front of the weblog, on the single post layer, and even near the comments!

The best choice to simplify & to prettify your weblog is to keep set of  sharing icons on your single post layer (this also speeds up the front page of your weblog tremendously) & do it with taste. For example, I use a persistent sharing device that scrolls with the user unobtrusively to the side of the content so that it is always there (but seldom in their way of reading the content).

When you spend the time necessary on making these tiny but effective changes you will notice more people engaging together with your content & even find profitable leads to more traffic & perhaps even more promotion revenue as you open up space for more opportunities (& more high converting space).
