It is true that the elements involved into creating and developing a good blog is its readability. The content in the blog has to be easy to read. From the font size, which make it easier on the eyes, to the color background that won’t cause any other distractions but represent a contrast instead. There should sufficient line spacing so that the reader can easy move into the next paragraph of the blog posting.
As content is the most important element in a blog, it needs its own design or a popular design to attract the audience desire to the your blog. As shown in recent review of the www.kronikmedia.co.uk/blog/15-elements-of-great-blog-design/2133/ an effective blog must offer multiple ways for its readers to navigate through the site while yet remaining an appealing blog.
Good comment selection encourages the reader to participant in the discussion. In my blog that applying the CSS that displays comments as well as the replies was found quite challenging. I realized in my reading that this can achieved by assessing tools certain tools within the blog such Word Press plug-ins and Disqus comments. This allows the user to leave as well as edit their comments by signing on to one of the leading social websites.
An effective blog design, which emphasizes the integration of social media, serves as an important component to your blog. Including the tool such as share or add will allow the audience of readers to participant in your discussions n the blog. Facebook, Twitter, and other popular cite makes it easy got readers to share your content.
Another important element required to develop and design an effective and visually appealing blog is it header design. The header is the first thing the reader is going to see and just like meeting someone for the first time you want to make a good impression. Whether the blog is for selling or introducing a brand, the header of your blog is describing what the reader should expect from the blog.
Another important element inside a blog is the existence of sidebars, images, and an appealing post title. A good blog design should use an effective sidebar. Sidebars are located on the left or right of your blog. While images create a more appealing blog, it should be readable as well.
Lastly, your blog should be clean and compliant: free of any incorrect HTML’s. A good blog has it own voice when the proper components are in place. If gets the attention of the reader and encourage them to follow the blogger.
In reviewing some of my fellow classmates blogs, I understand that everyone has an opinion about something. For example, in week one when the assignment was creating an initial blog cite. I found that it was quite challenging, then I received a response from one of my fellow classmate showing me using very good technical writing to direct my attention in the navigation tools that I most definability needed to customize my blog.
Evaluation of www.cakesntae531.blogspot.com/ I initially thought the selected titles have to be weird but after evaluating this blog as it reminded me of information you would read in a press release. It was clean, clear, and straight to the point. I though the content fit the purpose of the post. Each heading provided the reader with an ideal of what to expect in the post. I understand that a blog title creation has to appeal to you as well as your audience. In evaluating www.militarynews247.blogspot.com/ it was my classmate’s side bar and images that attracted me in the blog. However, I was a bit cluttered and not easy to read, but the graphics themselves told the story. At some point I could visualize what was being said in the post.
In reading my last blog from my classmate www.sphoncommunication.blogspot.com/ that is what prompted me to rethink my entire initial blog.
This blog like great. The color I soft not drawing attention away from the readers it was more than just the content it was the overall experience of reading this blog. It identified its audience by clarity of the initial heading. I will review the content graphics in this blog for my own blog revisions. To incorporate a lighter shade of color and increase my font size and additional sidebars will develop my own voice and provided the reader with more insight into the blogger. Adding images in my blog, with additional examples increase reader’s participation.

In order continue to improve on my very own blog, I will incorporate some color and add some type of graphic; maybe a traveling deign. I will research the side bar items into my blog as some the best blogs that I have seen have seen have good format and have made assignments interesting to read.
