Blog Design
Blog design takes careful planning as you need your blog to be custom designed to your branding and readership, engaging and easy to read. Your blog will also want a strong brand that’s recognizable and memorable, whether its chic minimalism or shiny web 2.0 design a custom blog design is the only way to achieve a must read blog.
Custom Blog Design
Custom blog design means a “one off” custom brand, a look and feel thats designed around your brand and your content, the blog branding should encompass; your language, your writing style, your logo design, your blog’s navigation, blog comments and content subscription style.
Wordpress Blog Design
My favorite tool for blog design is Wordpress, Wordpress allows your blog to have a design in a myriad of styles, in fact you can design a blog to look like anything you dream. Wordpress is the ultimate tool for bloggers with many features, but one great feature you should take advantage of is Wordpress Themes.
Wordpress Theme Design
You can hire a web designer to design and build your custom Wordpress theme, this is a set of template pages programmed in PHP for functionality, XHTML / CSS and images for presentation, all zipped up into a folder that make up your Wordpress Theme.
Re-use your Wordpress Theme
You can install Wordpess on your web space on www.domain.com, and simply upload your Wordpress theme and you get a fully custom designed blog. Hire the designer again for a hour and change the colors and the logo then you could install Wordpress on different web space at www.domian2.com and again just upload the same Wordpress Theme.
Wordpress Blog Features
I have created the Wordpress Blog Features Page to give you a good overview, but do rememebr Wordpress and your blog is ultimatley extendable via Wordpress plugins.
