When it comes to improving your blog, you can’t just concentrate on the content alone.
Blog layout is also an important factor to consider.
You may not know this, but the design of your blog can either make or break your blog when it comes to converting a visitor into a loyal audience.
That’s how crucial it is.
That said, here are some of the mistakes you need to avoid when it comes to blog layout.
1. Too colorful
No one wants to read a blog that has a little too much color. While a colorful blog can get people’s attention, it’s not in a good way.
The thing is your audience will want a blog with simple, neutral colors that won’t take away the attention from the content.
Of course bright should not be banned at all. Just make sure that you’re using them to a minimum and looking at them won’t hurt your reader’s eyes.
2. Too many images
People love to see images in a blog, but only to an extent. They don’t want to see a blog overflowing with images.
Not only is it bad to look at, too much images can also affect the speed of your blog.
It will take a while to load, annoying your readers in the process.
Just to be safe, make sure you have one or two images in every post. Remember: less is more.
3. Too busy of a layout
Who wants to read a blog that has so many features, you don’t know what’s going on? No one, of course.
A blog with too much plugins and widgets is guaranteed to be an eye-sore. And no one will want to visit it.
This is not to say that you should refrain from installing widgets and plugins. Because you should.
You just need to put it into a minimum and make sure that only the essentials are installed. The last thing you want is seeing unnecessary plugins in your blog which is likely to slow down your blog.
You see how a bad layout can affect not only your blog per se, but also the influx of traffic into your site?
And the thing is there are more blog layout mistakes you can encounter in lots of blog out there.
So before you concentrate on building your reader base, make sure to check your blog layout first. You don’t want to be accused of committing the same mistakes now, do you?
