Ok, So they’re Great… but Yikes!
I’m doing some blog research for a client, searching Digg and Technorati for the most authoritive bloggers on some fun subjects - mostly in the technology arena. And I’m here to tell you from my admittedly haughty high chair and clean blog interface perspective:
There are some really ugly blogs out there.
Take the Silicon Valley Watcher for example. It has thousands of inbound links from hundreds of other bloggers, and it’s hard for me to tell the ads from the posts from the comments from the other stuff.
I swear this is a blog made for an RSS reader. The human eye is affronted when reading it. At least, mine are.
Content, after all, is king. But can’t we put a little design into how we display our thoughts? At least, for those of us trying to form a first impression?
