| Is Website Design for Blogs Important? |
One of a woman's many charms is her indecisiveness. She can say she wants something, falls for it dead on the spot, and when she finally gets it, she realizes it is not exactly what she wants. Isn't that right, ladies? As what I said, it's part of our charm. ;)
Anyway, time as has come, after a couple of days of having my new look to the blog, to change it again. Why? Simple. I have changed my mind and decided that it is not exactly what I had in mind. I never had a thing for the overly large headers anyway. What I had in mind was something more subtle, and clean. Not that this is clean, I find the colors here rather relaxing. But something just doesn't feel right.
I've often wondered if website designs are a huge factor in drawing traffic and visitors. Being a web designer, I find myself constantly checking other websites for their designs. Making notes on some tackier layouts and styles, noting the gorgeous and functional ones. I would personally like something along the lines of clean, refreshing, and calming. Although definitely not frilly, fussy, or just too modern. But I haven't drafted one like that yet. I will soon.
Which leaves me with the debate of changing my design again, or not..? My lazy bone says I should leave it for a couple of days more. But the blogger/designer/me says I should change it right away. I feel that it is just too heavy.
What do you think? Is the design a huge factor in determining the readership and following of a blog? Or perhaps not, given that RSS has revolutionized the way people become your readers, quality is more important while design - not so much.
Either way, I'm going for both. :D

About Me: even when she has fairy wings on, this girl is anything BUT dainty. perhaps the size, the weight, and the personality alone are just too much for her to be considered delicate, prim, proper, and refined. this girl with the mud smudged cheeks has been down on the ground one to many times. these times forced her to be tougher, smarter, and more savvy than she has ever been. perhaps she will always be, never dainty.
