I’m quite new to blogging and programming in general. One of the first things I found was the bewildering assortment of themes (and, under WordPress, the extraordinary ease of experimenting.

Your tips here are very useful (as always, this whole blog is)
Thank you!

I’m still racking my brains trying to figure out if I should go for a lighter colour scheme.

At the same time…. horizontal or vertical navigation?? Sigh 🙂

I would just add a couple things to consider when designing your blog design such as how much time you are willing to invest into it, while more time won’t necessarily equate to a greater design, it will help. Knowing how much time you are willing to invest will help you level your expectations so you don’t end up getting disappointed in your blog design when you could only spend a few hours on it a week and was hoping it would be the best blog design in the world. It also has the added benefit of appreciating the improvements you make to your design.

I believe even small improvements to your blog design over time will take it very far, so you don’t need a radical redesign to be released all at once a few months down the road. You can make small changes to improve usability, readability, or color week by week. Good luck to everyone who is designing their theme, it is a hard, but very rewarding process.

I’ve been getting an error when I try to comment. Can’t remeber exactly what it was now (I made the comment on a different computer), but worth looking into.

Something like, …something …doesn’t exist or something.

The link to PSDTuts is not supposed to go to a specific article. I was just pointing out the look of the excerpts on the front page. The link above that is to a specific article.

I am a relatively new blogger and so I did not put a lot of thought into designing the blog. But once it was up and running, I began to notice things that were either not working or were placed in the wrong place. I also began paying attention to the user experience and how that can be enhanced to improve time spent on the site.

I am now doing a redesign to incorporate all the feedback and lessons learnt. Hope others will not have to learn these painful lessons.

I think Readibility is trumped by Ads all too often on blogs, so much so that people have to navigate through ads to get to the content. Great tips!

You might want to include more rss makeup tips…

but the info is very valuable, thanks for sharing

There’s so much that could be done to improve the overall functionality with a solid design.

Important factors are load speed and readability. Good work.

You may be surprised by how many readers like your blog theme. Just because you are getting sick of it, doesn’t mean they are. So check in with them and see what they think. You may be able to put more time into creating valuable content.

Great article!

So being involved in the process definitely paid off for you. I think too many people rush into the design without really considering many of these factors and then later something doesn’t work quite right.

Not many colors, with easy navigation. So many blogs are so difficult to navigate, sometimes you even cannot understand what is it about.

There are a lot of lovely looking designs out there (particularly WordPress themes) but they don’t necessarily support the above criteria very well.

Thanks for the mention 🙂
