I have always thought that the design of a blog can make the difference between success and failure. Of course content is what matters most, but if a blog does not load quickly or is not easy to navigate, visitors are unlikely to bookmark it, share content or subscribe.
A header image helps to brand a blog and should be relevant to what the blog is about. A portrait image used in an avatar of the blogger adds a personal touch, but any unique image can be used.
Too many flashing banners are distracting and turn some people away. Ads should be placed in and around the text without being too obtrusive.
Things to avoid are white text on a black background or a patterned background being used anywhere text appears.
What are your ideas about good blog design?
