Right now, WordPress is the most versatile blogging platform out there and you get tons of options for customization. You not only get to change the look and feel of the blog but you can also change the way your users interact with the content that you have put. Maybe this is the reason why WordPress is used very widely.
However, you might be tempted to use a lot of options and this might make your blog look bloated. I am blogging about a few simple steps to make your blog look better –
However, you might be tempted to use a lot of options and this might make your blog look bloated. I am blogging about a few simple steps to make your blog look better –
Overall design of the blog
This is the most obvious thing in a blog. If the content that you put is going to make your blog grow and if you are attempting to attract a lot of people then the design of your blog must complement all the time. Simple design too might do the trick and there is no need for high end eye candy everywhere. Also, it is really important that your WordPress Blog theme highlights your content first. If you do this, your readers will get what they came for in the first place.
Comments
For me, the comment section is one of the only place to interact with your readers and I don’t understand why people put a lot of different plugins or features which crowd the comments place. For instance, there are some blogs who have messy comment fields and you don’t know where to begin. It can get very confusing.
Social sharing
Social media and social networking is seen everywhere these days; it is simply unavoidable and in one way, it is a good thing. You’d want people to engage with the content but you would also want to make people share it with others. Here too simplicity is the key. I go through a few blogs everyday and see a lot of mess in social sharing etiquette. There are sharing icons cloase to the blog, on a single post layer and also close to the comments! You need to choose wisely and you will be rewarded well.
