Great Advice from a Top Blog Designer

Blog Designer Chris Pearson, of Cutline, Tubetorial, Copyblogger fame, had some great insights about blog design in this interview with BloggerTalks:

“Honestly, for those folks out there who are just stepping into the game, I think the best thing they can do is start with a great theme. Generate content and gain a base of readers while on that theme, and once you’ve got an idea of the scope of your content, then you can make intelligent decisions about the direction your design should take.”

Continuing on, he said:

“Ultimately, the design of your site should facilitate the reader’s ability to digest your content. In the best case scenario, the design lends credence to the things that you say, and it may add to the ‘authoritative’ qualities of the information you put out there.

The bottom line is that I don’t think anyone can start from scratch (with no content and no design) and make intelligent design decisions. It’s not about pretty; it’s about effective.”
Also, on his site, I really enjoyed this article. His design tips are also excellent. I’m using some of them here.
