Talk Time Tuesday: Blog Design


Lucky to Have you Challenge HERE
I am currently in the middle of a BLOG FACELIFT and the anticipation is killing me!!!  I can't wait to see what Lauren from Designer Blogs is creating.  It is a slow process because there are so many little things to think of so I thought for today I would ask all of you-what feature do you like most on the many different blog sites?  I think its crucial to navigate easily through all of the options on a site and have asked Lauren to focus on that for my Site.  Share what you like most about your site or other favorite sites for a chance to win the BoBunny Prize pack pictured above.  Just leave a comment on this post and a winner will be announced on next week's Talk Time Tuesday.  As always I love it if you are a Follower but it is not necessary.
Now for last week's winner:

I love the labels and being able to look through what creations were done with what cartridge.

Thanks for a chance to win and I can't wait to see your new blog.

I do not like too many adds. I love to see projects and lots of pictures. I like a link to the current challenges and giveaways. It makes it easy if you cannot view everday.

Thanks for the chance,

I like easy to find navigation features such as "search", challenges, etc.

I just completed my face lift and totally understand all the those little things you mention. What i like most is a link to challenges as well as a link to past projects so i can easily go back and reference something I saw previously. Can't wait to see your new look.

I can't wait to see the new blog design! My fav thing about a blog is the search bar and being able to see pictures clearly. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome paper!

Not sure what it is, but some sites are so slow in coming up all the way--maybe it's the graphics? Others are super "jerky" when we try to scroll and see the page.

Creative Cutter is very attractive, but it does take a long time for it all to appear, at least for us, and we have decent internet. We get all the colored words first, and have to wait for the rest of the text, long enough that I go "visit" somewhere else while I wait for the Creative Cutter to catch up with me. However it's NOT one of the "jerky" ones--not sure what makes some sites do that, but surely your designer does, and can help you avoid that?

And I agree with all of the previous comments too--keep it easy to navigate! :)

I like sites easy to navigate. I like search features to be able to find something easily. I like pictures of projects. I also like it when a site pops up quickly and is not bogged down by a ton of graphics. Some sites with a lot of unnecessary graphics take forever to load. Please don't let that happen to your site. Thank you.

I like when holidays and particular cartridges can easily be referenced.

As long as I can see all your fantabulous projects I am happy. I also like it when you click on a link it opens another window so I can go back to your blog without having to use the back button. I don't know if that is in the setup or not.

Your readers have a lot of good ideas. I'm not a big fan of distracting blinking ads... I do love a good search button & always an abundance of good photos.

I like to see a category side bar with thelabels of posts

JustYolie said...

I like when the tabs for pages are large and clear. Ads are OK but only when they are on one column, otherwise it clutters the page. Just my opinion. :)
