The Importance of a Good Blogging Template

I absolutely hate it when I go to a web site or blog only to be disgusted by the design of the site. There are sooooo many sites out there that hurt my eyes to look at, and this obviously has a negative effect on the reader. I, as well as many other readers, click away from the site as soon as possible, so as not to get a headache. Which brings up the point that it is very important to have a nice looking blog.

So how do you get a nice looking blog? – Well if you want an idea of what I think is a nice template/blog, then you can look at Teen College Education.org.

This design is simple and easy to read. A very important factor is the specific colors that are used; they are gentle on the eyes. Vibrant colors are bad. Next, the layout is simple.

I have the posts right under the header with a sidebar on the left. What one puts in the sidebar is always up to the specific blogger, but I have some popular posts, categories, and advertisements.

There are a few other things, but these are the most important, because they lie above the page break. That means that the reader does not need to scroll down at all to see these boxes; they get the most views. With this knowledge it is important to put the most important elements of your blog above the page break.

Next, having a navigation bar helps a lot with aiding readers. I cannot stress how important it is to have a navigation bar! I have gone to sites that lacked this element and had to manually go through each page in order to find what I wanted. People are lazy!! The less you make them work, the better turnover you will get from them. A nav bar does not have to be anything complicated, but just make sure that it is effective and easy to use.

Most importantly, be organized. It is impossible to find anything on a blog or web site that is not organized. A good template will help organize all of the material that is on it. Blogger, Wordpress, and other blogging platforms provide standard templates for bloggers which are all great.

There are other websites which also can make custom templates for a price. I found mine for Teen College Education.org on Google for free. There are a few links at the bottom of the page that go back to the original site, but it is a fair price to pay.

So if you want to attract readers, have a nice looking website/blog!
