Overview
While the content of a post is what draws the audience in, the style is what can make or break it. Providing readers with an organized and digestible format can place emphasis on major points and make the content more enjoyable. Rosenweig's reading provides more insight on this, breaking down blog style into the following points:
- General Principles of Design
- Text
- Images, Color, and Multimedia
- Putting It All Together
- Site Structure and Good URLs
- Accessibility
My Thoughts
What stood out from Rosenweig's reading was the discussion of Putting It All Together, which explained how all of these aspects of a blog can create a great final product, both visually and informatively.
"When all of the pieces - text, images and multimedia (if any), and navigation - come together in a well laid-out and structured historical site, the results can be both visually appealing and informative"
This definitely inspired me to make some updates to my own blog. Specifically, I changed the page from being mainly dark colors to a more colorful and engaging look. Here is a before and after:
