Blog Design

Tending to share a similar presentation layout, blogs can be redesigned to improve ease-of-use and readability.
Maintaining a blog can be time-consumming. Therefore, it makes sense to use a functional design that is easy to maintain.

Using a design strategy that reinforces a customized perception of the blog and what the blog represents will help "brand" the blog in the users' minds, and connect the blog to its purpose. If the blog represents an organization, the design should reflect that entity, either through use of a particular color scheme, images, voice, topic, etc. The blog design should ideally present the image of an individual or organization in a manner that is professional, stylish, characteristic, and appropriate to the blog's purpose.

By incorporatiung standardized development techniques into blog design, the blog becomes a unique online "presence" that is familiar to the users, easily recognized, visually inviting, and user-friendly. Blog design is most effective when the blog is perceived as consistent, purposeful, and connected to a topic, voice, or organization.
