Make your blog theme more nice
Written by Samuro on September 4th, 2007 in Blogging, Web Design, WordPress.
Hello valued readers!, 
I thought and even assure most of you are a bloggers and webmasters (whos have blog or website). So at this post I’ll talk about blog design, layout and color. But, this topic is not only for bloggers or webmasters, This is also for whom design lovers. 
My experience and my knowledge by reading others design articles, I concluding that the nice blog design must have the following criterion:
- Large layout that compatible with 1024×768 screen resolution. So it make your readers easy navigate and easy to explore your blog content, no need a lot of scrolling down.
- Use three columns. Such as those I mention, make your blog easy navigate and easy to explore. Using three columns is giving you a lot of space to put your content links on the sidebar.
- Don’t use the dark color as your content background color like black or purple. Just imagine, how are you by reading a book with black background color.
- Put your navigation page at the top of page, of course outside/before your blog content. Or you can put it on sidebar, but remember it must on top of sidebar.
- Make the partition to dissociate your links/banners; the ads, offers and promotion, other links/banners, etc. You can make a partition by giving border or larger margin.
- Put your feed rss link/banner on top and make it uppermost; bold text or larger banner.
I enquire Alvin Phang about using three columns, and he answer is; “the sidebar must be on only be on the right side”, see this post: 4 Important Tips To Find A Blog Theme To Make Money Online. But it’s OK if you put your sidebar on left or on left and right. I thought the reason why the sidebar must be on the right side is bacause most of people read from left to right. So when visitors visit a site, the first look is the left-top.
Optionally for the more nice blog design:
- Use gradient background color for the header
- Web 2.0 text style. I assure most of bloggers and webmasters love to see web 2.0 text style
Here’s the .psd file. Download it now!.
Theme Modules
- Header
- Navigation page
- Header 2. Example: http://www.forex1020.com it’s contain top image randomly, rss feed link and social media sites.
- Blog post/content
- Offers and promotion links/banners. Example; Google search, stuff, coupon, etc
- Ads links/banners
- Blog links; category, recent and popular articles, archives, and comments
- Other links/banners. Your blog; mybloglog/blogcatalog readers and community, and others kind of this
Make those modules clear (the sidebar, besides content), so your readers easy to differentiating between the internal and external links, don’t hazy. May be you have found some blog that hazy sidebar, so it hard to navigate and also hard to explore, you confuse where is the category links list, because there’s a lot of links and banners and the links is too close.

There are many companies that provide various services related to financing problems. For instance there are companies which specialize in arranging good home refinance loans for people. Then there are companies which provide services for low uk insurance rates on health and homes, not to mention car insurance cheap loans. Other than that there are service providers which get you out of your bad credit, and not only that but also try to wipe you previous bad credit loans history clean. All the latest bank rates for loans can be found with these companies as well. To say the least there is an immense competition between all these companies, and they are always looking for people to market their business hence creating a great work at home opportunity.

You say keep the partitions on the right side and that people read left to right. That gives people a chance to read your content before looking at what else you have to offer….and keep them from getting bombarded with too much info when they first start looking at the page.

I like your banner design above. How can I produce a similar design just like that?
Overall, I agree with your points above, but I just didn’t practice it when I designed my Nedworg.

Another tip to make it more seo friendly of a theme is to make sure you have as many links to content as you can in the sidebar. I use the category magic plugin to make put random posts in the sidebar. It helps google find all the posts.

I strongly agree with you on not using dark colors for the background. It really puts me off when i entered a dark color bg website. It makes the text difficult to read and affects visibility of links and images.

If anyone is willing to spend big dollars on hgh just to increase penis thickness.
I reccommend you buy a Vigrx plus to permanently increase penis length too while using the high
Penis pills

No vigrx plus doesn’t make your penis thinner, actually thicker
If you are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on human growth hormone to increase
penis size then i reccommend you buy a Vigrx plus (You can ask a liscenced doctor about info on Vigrx plus)

well, all the points were fine except the three column thing
I think it depends on the kind of blog when it comes to opting for three columns…
sometimes you might not have enough material to show in various columns…
