Tips on how to give your blog the personality of a professional blog.
There are millions of blogs but only a few thousand have a standing of their own. Only a bit of discipline together with care for some basics make all the difference!
2. •Remove low-quality widgets and
badges, advt modules.
•Don’t have more than two
columns.
•Overall, give the blog a very
clean look.
•Don’t use animations other than a
single slide show if at all.
3. •Don’t have many background colors.
Even if using a colorful theme, do not
have elements that distract attention
from the theme.
•Separate posts with a separator: a bar
or line, horizontal image or design-
break
•Don’t put too many elements such as
icons, thumbnails and links at the
bottom of posts.
4. •Use a normal font, not too playful:
fancy fonts often look childish.
•Put a proper thought on each post. Be
original; don’t copy-paste.
•Write good English. Check every post
thoroughly before publishing. No
grammar and proof mistakes!
5. •Maintain dignity. Don’t seek favors like
‘Please promote my blog on Bloggg-
braggers and I will promote yours’.
•Write ‘about me / my blog’ but don’t
go overboard in telling about yourself.
Remain modest.
6. •Use a theme or template that suits your
subject.
•Have your own independent domain
name, not under .wordpress / .blogspot
etc.
•When commenting on others’ blogs,
contribute meaningfully by way of
suggestions, thought, critique; don’t just
say ‘Good post’ or ‘You look awful!’.
7. •Don’t give links to advertising sites or
those with low value.
•Monetise carefully; do not look cheap.
