Have you optimize your own blog style to blog better ?
No doubt, if you want to be a real blogger then you need to have your own style. I bet you know johnchow, shoemoney, Darren and other great blogger. Spend your time a while and visit their blog, you can clearly see that every of them have their own style, right?
So here is the deal, if you want to climb to the top of blogosphere then you must have a unique and origin style. Then what is included in the world of “style “? Well style is everything for blogger who know the blogging secret; they know how important the list bellows:
- Blog themes: everyone knows how important blog themes are, but not much of them know how to choose it. Based on what I know, blog themes will be your blog future. People will see your themes for the first time and then read your article, I bet you too right? You will give more love to people who have a nice themes + nice content. so now you now you know how important blog themes for a blogger right or you want to read my tips about how to choose a blog themes
- Blog logo: never tell me that you are a complete blogger if you don’t have a blog logo on you blog, blog logo is your identity as a blogger. I found myself is easier to remember my favorite blog logo then their URL…lol. So choose a nice logo , create unique one that describe your blog theme and you are ready to go to the next level.
- Blog color : some of people just follow the color come from the themes that there are using. This is false . here is the true , let say there are one million themes in this world and a hundred million bloggers, then if you are using the default color comes from the theme , you blog will look the same with another hundreds of blog , right ? so you need to choose your own blog color or you need my advice about how to choose blog color for your blog
- Font style and color : I have no advice about this , based from what I know . use standard font style like verdana ,Tahoma and Arial is the best , and use black / dark grey seem still the best color for font.
The conclusion here is : you need to have your own style and combine it to your blog , if you do it well then your blog will stay in front of millions of other blog that don’t have a style. Great isn’t it ?
Please note that : you need to change your blog style once a year to keep it fresh . You can chance just one part or all part to optimize your blog style. Don’t forget to subscribe as my reader, I will have a nice secret to tell you more.

Dana,
I still get a little confused when I visit your site and the money cult site for the first few seconds since you both have the same theme in default mode. At least there is a big difference in writing style and what the two of you have decided to add to your blogs. Your site looks great though - maybe you can get Jared to change his.

If you want unique theme you need money, and what the big probloggers have is money. Yes if we know alot about html and CSS then we are able to take free themes and change them up to be unique. Greg Ellison

just use atahualpa greg. i am a big fans of atahualpa themes , just like i said before this themes have more than 200+ . i can easily change the background color , move my sidebar from left to right , add new header , move bar from one place to another , add more sidebar or footer . what could be better than this .

I don’t totally agree on this. There is always a better route for me. That’s my principle. There is no rule concerning with this. There are a lot of good web developers out there that doesn’t get the fame that they deserve not because they have no talent but because they have less exposure. There are some there waiting for you to test their talents.
This comment is inspired by my friend, a good web developer who ends up on a job that he doesn’t like in which his talent is of no use.

I actually chose green as the main color of the theme for my blog because it symbolizes, in my opinion, cleanliness of the mind.

I used to change my blog theme every 3 months in the past, but no more right now after using Thesis theme. But I’ll still keep improving the interface to make it more professional, it’s not perfect yet.
Anyway, these are nice tips to make our blog better, logo is really good in branding, but I’ve yet to get one for my blog, perhaps in coming days.

powerful … or probably very powerful is the right word. i have enough money to buy premium themes but the reason i don’t do it because what i need is here. in atahualpa themes. just imagine 200+ options in your hand. and you have the ability to turn your themes to any ” shape ” you want . don’t forget it’s a free themes to use
Hi Jeandsen,
That would definitely encourage the bloggers to crystallizing their visuals in terms of ideas & concepts so that with professional help (if needed) can make a pretty stylish blog. You need to think on following lines to make it impressive:
1. Criteria to choose your style
2. Impressions of certain themes, colors & logos on minds of readers.
3. Comfort levels with niche
4. Your vision & plans for future for the blog

Atahualpa is a good one! I prefer this one over Thesis. Thesis is good but isn’t free. But Atahualpa is completely free.
