I get annoyed with blogs (and webpages, for that matter), that use lots of bright, conflicting colours that really just hurt the eyes. Or white writing on a black background. It may look cool, but take a read through your blog. If you have trouble, your readers aren’t going to bother.

I went through a lot of this when I designed the website for my mother’s business. It was a lot of testing, changing, revamping, etc, until I came up with an easy to manage and navigate format. If you want people to pay attention, you have to make it easy for them.
