I've that blues are soothing and people usually have a "trusting" nature towards blues. I guess I'd like to know how big an impact color plays in attracting visitors. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-should-my-blog-look#post-816 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 03:51:58 +0000 dannbkk 816@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Usually simple and brandable is the key, you only have to look at google or twitter or flickr or even craigslist to see how simple they are but yet so popular. Just as long as it looks professional too! Good Luck! </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-should-my-blog-look#post-520 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:51:13 +0000 Amandah Blackwell 520@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Sometimes it's good to give your blog a makeover. If you're getting bored with you theme, change it. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-should-my-blog-look#post-152 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 09:31:00 +0000 Richard 152@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I like the look and feel of Travel-Writers-Exchange.com. It seems to flow. Some websites are all over the place. It's amazing how much information put on a website...talk about too much information. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-should-my-blog-look#post-134 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:42:50 +0000 Love2Travel 134@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I like clean and simple blogs. I think the travel background is a bit overdone. Be bold, be different, and change it up! Everyone has palm trees, surf and sand, and the European castle background. Make your blog stand out from the rest. Find examples of blogs on the internet that appeal to you and use them as a guide. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-should-my-blog-look#post-94 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:32:32 +0000 Amandah Blackwell 94@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Personally, I prefer clean and simple; a very user friendly site. If I have to search all over a blog or website to find what I'm looking for, I will <em>click-off</em> off it and find another blog/website. Some people do go <em>crazy</em> with graphics. Remember, less is more... </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-should-my-blog-look#post-92 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:00:38 +0000 Trisha Miller 92@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>That is actually a very good question! I'm sure others will have a different opinion, but mine is that the most important thing about your blog is that it's easy to read and easy for your site visitors to find your content.</p> <p>I agree that some of them go way overboard on the "travel theme" styling, and many are just way to busy with blinking ads and flashy graphics - a site that is too busy can make visitors leave your site quickly, regardless of how well-written your articles are.</p> <p>So I recommend choosing a style that has an eye-pleasing color palette, and keep the focus on your writing and the photos that should accompany your articles - a simple style won't detract from your message.</p> <p>But do remember that you're building your "brand", so the site should incorporate at least <em>some</em> of your personality as well.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-should-my-blog-look#post-91 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:54:52 +0000 Marias_Mom 91@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I'm planning to set up a new blog for my travel writing. I have a personal family blog now so I'm pretty comfortable with how it works, but I'm a little lost on how it should look.</p> <p>I know it shouldn't be "cute" like my personal blog is, but wondering just how "professional" it should be - like a corporate site? How important is the look of the blog to potential publishers? Is having a travel "theme" important? I did a little searching around and found a few of what I think are travel blogs, but most of them look hokey - too many palm trees and cruise ships, and some are just too busy looking.</p> <p>What do you recommend? </p>
