Designing a Blog

From a hobby, now a habbit. A well-matched blog and design always comes in pair. Here are couples of criteria in designing a blog.

1. User-Friendly. A great Blog doesn’t tend visitors to click the [x] mark or holding ALT + F4 in keyboard just because your Blog loads too slow. Your Blog should not have couple of Media or Images (Youtube, Imeem) embed in your blog post that could make readers browsers slower. Remember that there are still Dial-up users.


2. Browser Compatiblity. Browsing Statistics says that Firefox has become popular, but still Internet Explorer is the common browser. Some scripts are compatible in IE but not in FF, and some are compatible in FF but not in IE. When choosing scripts, make good use of those that are highly compatible to both IE and FF.

7. Do not use Auto-Play Music or Video. Let your visitors or readers choose to play it or not. It also adds fast-loading feature to your Blog.
