Designing Intuitive, Attractive Blogs

Posted by: Aaron Brazell
Woodlawn, MD, USA

Blog Building BlocksBlog Design is not something I claim to be an expert at, but as we continue this series, let’s take a step away from the code and look at the actual design process. Peter Flaschner of The Blog Studio specializes in design specifically for blogs. He’s a guy that understands how blogs work from a technical side and aesthetics and knows how to capture reader interest through intuitive layout and technicque. He’s a guy I’d like to find a way to work with some time.

Recently, he contributed to the Blogging for Beginners series at Problogger. At this time, Parts 1 and 2 are available and I look forward to Part 3. Even if you’re not a designer (as I am not), the window into the thought process involved is quite spectaculor.

Since this is a crucial part of the blogging process and I am far unqualified to speak on it, I direct you to Peter’s articles.

        Twitter Pitch!

        <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
