06 Feb 10 Blog with a Friendly Face – Part 4

Written by: bikram

Presentation is important. How you present yourself will decide how people will perceive you. And believe me know one likes to befriend people who do not conduct them smartly. In this article I will talk about presentation part of a blog.

Get a professional designed blog theme

A blog design plays a very important role in making your blog look good. You should not mess with the design part of your blog. Hire a designer and get a custom theme for your blog. It will make your blog look different, and as they say it, looks matter.

If not, buy a professional theme

If you are just starting out then you may not have the budget for hiring a designer to design a cool theme for your blog. If this is the case then at least buy a professionally designed theme for your blog. I will not recommend going for any free themes, as they are bad-looking or overly used.

Post Format

It is not just the content of the post that matters, but it is the way it is presented. Use image, table, graphs, videos, and presentations etc., to make your post appear cool. In the text-only posts as well, you can craft paragraphs in such a way that it looks cool. You can use bullets, nested headings, etc., to achieve this purpose.

Before I talk about anything else in the series—which actually I am tempted to do—you should apply these tips in your blog. Go ahead and get a professional theme and also create a simple post. I will wait till you are done with that.

Word of caution: Do not waste inordinate amount of time on searching for a web designer or a professionally designed blog theme. Overdoing kills the joy.
