Unique Blog Design

Image via Wikipedia

If you’ve been wondering where I have been, don’t wonder anymore. I have recently gone through a redesign for this blog and it’s my own unique blog design. I wanted to go to a simple format and try to make it a little more personal. I think I did a good job making it a little more personal by using an image and a little about me in the sidebar.

I think it is also a very simple and clean design. I have talked before how a redesign can help your blog. I know many people might think it is a little boring but I was trying to go in that direction. I didn’t want any bright colors or anything like that so I went with greys and white. The main color that I used beside the grays and white is maroon. I decided to go with maroon because it was different than anyother color that I have seen used on blogs. I didn’t want to go with bright red because web designers say that it gives people the feeling of war or blood.

You will also notice that I have added blog sponsors in the right sidebar. For the time being I will take free sponsors for my blog. All you have to do is go to the contact page and send me a link to your 125 x 125 ad. Also include the URL you want to use with it. Might as well take advantage of it now as it will probably be changing somewhere in mid-November.

I have a nice tab widget on my sidebar also. It makes it easier for people to find what they’re looking for so that they do not have to keep scrolling down the page. I can fit three widgets in it which saves me space.

The comments section is one of the things I’m most proud of when it comes to the new blog design. I tried to make it very simple without making it look messy. I have gone to many blogs that have a really messy comments section and you will notice people get less comments because of that. My comment section was very messy on my last blog design. So I hope you like this one.

You can see at the bottom I have added things that I recommend, where you can find me, and Blogging School. I decided to put it at the bottom because it feels like it is a little intrusive if it is put right at the top where people see it right away.

So I’m happy with the blog design considering that I wanted something simple and not with a lot a color. I know some of you will hate it but it was time to get a design that is completely different from the other ones. If you find any problems just let me know and I will try to fix them right away.
