5 Great Rules for a Good Blog Presentation

By now, you know what turns you on and what turns you off when you visit another site.
Here are 5 Great Rules to consider if you want to stay out of the "turn off" category.

1. Load Time – This can make you or break you. Load time refers to how long it takes your site to be fully viewable to your visitors. Things that can slow it down are lots of things to load. The biggest culprit- large images!


2. Overall look which includes Colors and Space. Empty space is important between content. Colors can portray a mood. If your unsure about colors, check out what sites you like and the colors they are usung.

3. Banner/Logo/Branding - the first thing your visitor sees when they enter your site. Think of it as a first impression.


4. Layout -Again, open space as opposed to chaos.

5. Advertisements- Find the line between overwhelming your visitors, as this is more than obvious, and satisfying your advertisers.
